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.
