INDIA: The OPPO Find N2 Flip brings flagship-level cameras to the flip-style foldable form factor by combining high-resolution camera sensors with the in-house MariSilicon X NPU and Hasselblad’s natural color tones. 

The 50MP Sony IMX890 main sensor boasts all-pixel omnidirectional intelligent focusing, so nearby subjects look sharp while backgrounds look soft; photos look textured, dynamic, and detailed. 

Shoot hi-res 4K videos at up to 60fps in camcorder mode. Users can also shoot ultra-dynamic, ultra-clear low-light 4K videos with Marisilicon X at 30fps

For 4K videography, the camera supports hardware-level DOL-HDR that simultaneously captures short and long-exposure photos. In short-exposure shots, the bright parts are not over-exposed, whereas in long-exposure captures, the dark parts pack details. These captures are combined with OPPO’s MariSilicon X NPU for more detailed low-light videos. 

HDR Fusion inside the MariLumi ISP of the MariSilicon X NPU combines the long and short exposure frames to achieve a 4X higher dynamic range. MariNeuro—MariSilicon X’s AI Noise Reduction (AINR) algorithms—further reduce noise and increases image purity in each frame.

To further amplify the imaging credentials of the Find N2 Flip, OPPO has worked closely with legendary camera manufacturer, Hasselblad, to integrate the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution, ground up, into the camera system. The unique color-processing system kicks into action the moment you press the shutter button to optimize color accuracy, tone, and contrast to deliver consistent and accurate results. 

OPPO’s partnership with Hasselblad runs deep with its XPAN mode that features a 65:24 high aspect ratio to capture the camera brand’s unique retro style. Furthermore, the Find N2 Flip recreates the Hasselblad shooting experience with a custom UI, shutter sound, and watermark. Users can further refine photographs with three additional filters—Emerald, Radiance, and Serenity—designed by professional Hasselblad ambassadors.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip also comes with an 8MP ultra-wide Sony IMX355 rear snapper with an expansive field of view that is perfect for photos and videos. 

Place it on your desk for handsfree photographs, videos, and even video-calls

For selfies, it also packs the 32MP Sony IMX709 front shooter. Users can unfold the Find N2 Flip and use this camera for FlexForm video calls. The IMX709’s RGBW pixel array boasts superior noise suppression, its autofocus ensures crisp details, while a wide field of view gets everyone in the frame when snapping a group selfie.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip is engineered to accurately render Indian skin tones and recreate bokeh flair in portrait videos. The flip-style foldable’s skin smoothening and beautification algorithms expertly distinguish individual parts of the image accurately and improve image quality. 

Power-packed SoC

The OPPO Find N2 Flip harnesses the power of the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+. The 4nm processor delivers supercharged CPU performance alongside a suite of enhancements like AI-enhanced Variable Rate Shading and Frame Rate smoothening to boost the gaming experience. 

The MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ deploys a single 3.2GHz Cortex X2 core and pairs it with three 2.85GHz Cortex A710 cores and four Cortex A510 cores to smartly balance out high-end processing and all-day battery life through intelligent resource allocation. 

The Find N2 Flip’s Dimensity 9000+ chipset includes a 4X more efficient APU solution to improve short burst activities like high framerate gaming and HDR photography at night. The MediaTek APU 580 works on isolated tasks or can work as a general processor to improve ISP, gaming, and the social media video-watching experience. 

The Find N2 Flip combines the might of the Dimensity 9000+ chipset with OPPO’s optimizations to deliver incredibly fast 44W SUPERVOOC^TM charging. A quick fifteen-minute top-up is sufficient to power up to four hours of music streaming, an hour of social media browsing, and four hours of phone calls. 

ColorOS 13

Tying the hardware experiences together on the OPPO Find N2 Flip is ColorOS 13. The operating system runs on Android 13 and offers a variety of design-led changes to boost productivity. AI enhancements built deep into ColorOS 13 now let you smartly manage your meetings, optimize networks, and deftly handle distractions. 

Similarly, users will find options to personalize the Find N2 Flip thanks to an improved Shelf feature that organizes and displays key information, as well as tools and services that serve up ample opportunities for customization. ColorOS 13 lets users make their phones their own with a wide variety of widgets and deep Bitmoji integration – both on the shelf and the cover display. 

As a bonus, the OPPO Find N2 Flip will come with four years of Android and five years of security updates.

We combined industry-leading engineering and innovation with intuitive design principles. So the Find N2 Flip’s design is burdenless, each component moving in harmony, as it marries a best-in-class, powerful cover screen with a compromise-free package that’s elevated by subtle, rich flourishes.”

Redefining the Cover Screen

The OPPO Find N2 Flip redefines the industry standard for cover screens. The large 3.26-inch cover screen is stunning to look at and versatile in functionality. The OPPO Find N2 Flip includes powerful widgets and offers enough screen space to showcase meaningful information, including as many as six notifications. The large viewing area also enhances the use of the cover display as a camera viewfinder. 

The OPPO Find N2 Flip’s vertically-oriented cover screen enables quick replies to messages in apps like Messenger, Slack, Telegram, and WhatsApp. You can toggle settings, record a voice note, or answer a call without opening your phone. And with less need to engage fully, you can take back control of your digital well-being. 

The OPPO Find N2 Flip adds a touch of fun to the cover screen with interactive pets that spark joy at every interaction. Opt-in for a GIF, Bitmoji, or a sticker for greater personalization on the Always-On display. In addition to Bitmoji and OMOJI stickers, the AOD also displays helpful insights: the time, date, power status, and notifications.

Classic Aesthetics

The OPPO Find N2 Flip takes a minimalist approach to design with a fingerprint-resistant, micro-etched glass case and polished aluminum sides. The bezel-less cover display takes center stage with its versatility and shines through with its large 3.26-inch size. 

The Find N2 Flip—available in two colors: Astral Black and Moonlit Purple—weighs a mere 191g and is just 7.45mm slim when opened. When closed, the curved back sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip’s large 6.8-inch E6 AMOLED display is perfectly tuned to let you enjoy multimedia and games. Its cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio and 1600 nits of brightness make for immersive movie watching, while its 120Hz refresh rate makes for a smooth user experience.

The Best Flip Phone Camera

Find N2 Flip’s flagship 50MP main camera features a large Sony IMX890 sensor, with a large-aperture f/1.8 lens for incredible imaging.

You can see more and confidently capture snapshots as the largest cover screen of any flip phone gives you the clearest selfie preview available. And if you are taking a friend’s photo or video, fire up Dual Preview so they can see how they look.

The Find N2 Flip’s 17:9 aspect ratio cover screen sports the same vertical orientation as your phone’s camera sensor to keep cropping to a minimum and work as the perfect viewfinder to capture incredible selfies. 

Unlock even more creativity with FlexForm Mode—made possible by the New Flexion Hinge—as the Find N2 Flip holds its position mid-fold between 45º and 110º for waist-level dynamic angles and ultra-crisp 4K time-lapse video.

The FlexForm Mode also turns your flip phone into a tripod-steady, hands-free camera. Just part-fold it, place it on a surface and then trigger the shutter release with an open palm gesture – perfect for group shots with its powerful 32MP selfie camera. With its Sony IMX709 sensor and wide-angle lens, the FlexForm mode enables even better video calls on apps like WhatsApp and Zoom.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip is fine-tuned to capture pro-grade colors co-developed with the legendary camera manufacturer Hasselblad. Its full-featured Pro mode and Hasselblad-inspired XPAN mode open creative opportunities for imaging enthusiasts. 

Much more than just a photography champion, the Find N2 Flip’s in-house imaging NPU, MariSilicon X, boosts night video to capture ultra-clear 4K footage in low light, and you can even hold the phone part-folded and sideways, just like a camcorder for a steadier grip.

Tested to over 4,00,000 folds

The Find N2 Flip’s Flexion Hinge works with the folding display to enable new user experiences and an almost-invisible crease. Robust in its simplicity, the updated Flexion hinge creates more space to accommodate a larger cover display and a higher-capacity, faster-charging battery. 

OPPO has redesigned its new Flexion Hinge to guide the screen into the gentlest folding angle possible to create a water drop shape fold that results in a significantly shallower, narrower crease than other flip phones. Almost invisible in most environments, the crease offers an uncompromised flat-screen experience.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip is TÜV Rheinland certified to withstand 4,00,000-fold and unfolds – the equivalent of opening and closing the phone 100 times daily for more than ten years. Under extreme conditions ranging from -20 degrees C to 50 degrees C and 95 per cent humidity, the OPPO Find N2 Flip has been tested to surpass over 1,00,000-fold and unfold cycles. 

The Longest Lasting and Fastest Charging Flip Phone

The OPPO Find N2 Flip sets a new benchmark for flip phones with a massive 4,300mAh battery. Its long-lasting battery is the result of continuous efforts to redesign everything from the hinge to the SIM tray to accommodate more space. 

OPPO has worked closely with MediaTek to create a battery-optimized Dimensity 9000+ chipset for the Find N2 Flip. These efforts result in one more hour of video calling, two more hours of social media, and five more hours of music streaming than other popular flip phones.

Its 44W SUPERVOOC^TM charging takes away battery anxiety by charging the phone from zero to a hundred in less than an hour. A 23-minute top-off delivers a 50 percent charge. 

Speaking about the device, Damyant Singh Khanoria, Chief Marketing Officer, OPPO India said, “The Find N2 Flip is the culmination of years of R&D at OPPO to strike the right balance between cutting-edge features, and everyday usability. The minimal design combined with the largest cover screen ever on a flip phone is essential to giving users more choices in how they use their foldable phone. Additionally, innovations like the largest battery ever in a flip phone, OPPO’s SUPERVOOC^TM ensures that users no longer have to compromise. We believe the Find N2 Flip is perfectly positioned to create an inflection point and will be critical to the growth of the foldable category in India and the world.“

The OPPO Find N2 Flip marks a new era for foldable phones through sheer refinement, all-day longevity, fast charging, and a completely redesigned hinge assembly guaranteed to last a decade. The all-day power and fast charging, Find N2 Flip marks the start of a new chapter for foldable and smartphones at large.
