There are two types of foldable phone that matter: large-format book-style folding tablets, and compact flip-style clamshells. Or at least, that was true until Oppo came along with a flexible-display smartphone that tried to carve out a space between. The Oppo Find N2 is the sequel to last year’s standout Find N, and I've spent one holiday break over two weeks across three states seeing how this in-betweener compares to its more common competition. Join me for MrMobile’s Oppo Find N2 Review!

I'm a galaxy fold 4 owner and gotta say. The oppo was the first foldable that made me consider the format and is a strong reason the fold became my daily carry. Thanks for continuing to show the options even if most of us will have to go with what is available. For what it's worth I love my fold and have zero regrets. And switched from an LG v60 dual screen.

@JerziTBoss Год назад

I kinda prefer the look of Oppo Find N2. The outer screen looks like something I really prefer - I smaller but wider screen you can use with one hand. I have big hands but even for me tall screens are not comfortable to use. The app behavior is not excusable. It's not only on foldables but android tablets as well. The app behavior is atrocious and app compatibility with wide screen is all over the place.

When Apple finally releases their foldable, they’re gonna have such a big advantage thanks to their massive library of iPad-optimised apps. They’re in a whole different league compared to Android tablet apps.

@IrenMasot Год назад

To my knowledge this has gotten worse over the years as companies abandoned the tablet as a useful market to pursue...we're a long way from 2012 when Windows 8 launched with a touch focus, and Android tablets were all the rage. As companies pull purse strings ever tighter, focusing on portrait smartphone usage seems like it's going to be haunting us for a while to come, even as foldable phones bring the tablet back to the forefront once more.

Water resistance is nice but I can't recall the last time I got a phone wet. I'd happily trade out water resistance for numerous other features, like a swappable battery. And maybe a less visible crease. As for the rotation issue, I believe there are apps that can override rotation settings on Android so you can set it per-app.

First phone in a wild that catches my eye. The Flip and fold are great phones, but the compact of the N2 is really amazing. Reminds me of people going for the 3DS XL when it came out, but just seeing that it was too big, and the N2 reminds of the DS lite, being much more compact and portable.

Except doing so makes the tablet display a fucking SQUARE that's dogshit for widescreen media watching in landscape AND scrolling modern vertical app feeds in portrait. 🤷 OnePlus Open has the same exact problem. While Fold 2/3 were definitely too narrow, Fold 4/5 are arguably the best balance of inner to outer display shape/size you can get in a tablet style foldable. Otherwise you are massively compromising on one screen or the other.

@james8606 Год назад

Love to see more folding phones. Your video shows how far ahead Samsung is with its folding phones and I now get why they go with the forms they have gone with due to android not bing fully optimised for folding phones. Part of me thinks this is where Microsoft should have come back into the market for business type phones. I loved my now broken Duo (dropped it 😭😭) but alot of the issues it has had over the 2 years in the market were due to limits in Android. I also feel this is why we have not seen an apple folding phone yet as they want to get the os right before showing it off. I'm hoping with 12L this is the start of a better os for flooding phones.

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

Globally the foldable market isn't much developed yet. So if they sold it, they would be in a loss. Think of it, the only Foldable devices available globally are from Samsung. So when we know the increment in foldable's sales, its an exaggerated value made solely for increasing the sales of Foldables by Samsung. Whereas in China, the foldable market is more developed and is a competitive one. So selling in China=more profit for every brand. Even Samsung sells it's best foldable in China-only.

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

@@jethmercer2532 Rollable will not come for atleast 5-6yrs, as foldable market isn't developed yet. The development of a provide category affects the other one. Oppo already released its Rollable device called Oppo X. TCL, released a kind of the same thing too after some days. The only difference being in oppo the rolling mechanism is automated while on TCL one you will have to pull it out. So unless, the brands are sure that Rollable will do better than foldable, they won't make it :(

@NigelMelanisticSmith Год назад

After using my LGG8X for so long, I've come to appreciate the Fold's thinner aspect ratio. Even with a case, the Fold3 is way easier to one hand type and hold.

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

Yep, if you are already accustomed to that aspect ratio then there's no problem at all. But considering majority of people uses smartphones in the 16:9 ratio, the Zfold's ratio becomes an issue, especially on the cover screen.

@NigelMelanisticSmith Год назад

@@dragonforcegaming7555 The LGG8X is 16:9, the issue is that the addition of hinge and 2nd screen made it worse one handed than a standard phone. Since I've used a 16:9 foldable, and Samsung's thinner foldable, I grew used to the fold simply because of improved ergonomics. It's really a damned if you do, damned if you don't, since thicker foldables have better cover screen usability, while thinner phones are easier to hold one handed.

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

@@NigelMelanisticSmith Agreed. Although its not on how thick a foldable is, its more depended on the width. Oppo made the display wider while reducing the height, that gave it a better output on the cover screen while Samsung made the display taller and reduced the width which gave them better output on the inner screen.

In terms of software compatibility, it is important to remember that Oppo N2 was never designed for the oversea market outside mainland China. I absolutely agree that many apps, even common ones, are still not very foldable friendly. In fact, manufacturers often have to work with developers of top apps to make it happen on an app to app basis. Most of the apps mentioned here will never find their way to Chinese users, such as Chase, Delta, and Instagram (which is straight up banned in China). On the other hand, Samsung probably has to do something for the NA market.

I like tablets and I use them but I'm pretty sure the person wants a tablet. He can also stick in his pocket. To me, it's not worth the compromise or the cost because of the crease come of the durability etc. . But if I did get a foldable, I would prefer the oppo form factor to the Galaxy one. I guess the pixel fold is going to be more like this in terms of the size and the front screen. Again, I'm not in the market for any of these phones, but if someone said hey you can have a free foldable, I would probably take the oppo find N 2 over the galaxy fold (or the pixel fold? Should it be released in a similar form factor). Especially if they are purpose-built for a Western market

@mark_u Год назад

Don't think I'll ever be in the market for a foldable phone but I must say that I like Oppo's solution to the form-factor. Tried on the Z Fold 4 in stores and found that using the outer screen was a bit cumbersome. I also think that the left punch hole cam on the Oppo is a better balance for maximizing the inner display while maintaining camera quality. Of course, Samsung's OneUI is still better than Oppo's ColorOS.

@Cooe. 4 месяца назад

Why the fuck would you ever take selfies using the tablet display even if it was a good camera though??? O_o Literally every other screen/camera is a better selfie taking experience.

You will have a phone in your poket, a tablet at home and a laptop for work for a few years. These things are like the 3d tvs a few years ago. Love your videos.

@SwatBeatsOfficial Год назад

I like the form factor of the Zfold4. The slim front display makes it easy to use with one hand. When I have 2 hands available I open it up to tablet mode. I also like how it slides in the pocket despite it's thickness. Samsung nailed it with the under-display selfie camera (I never use selfie cameras) and the waterproofing so I can enjoy these youtube videos in the shower with the massive display. My one wish for the Zfold5 is some innovation to lessen the visible crease. I would also like a way to zoom into videos baked into the OS. RU-vid has a pretty terrible implementation of this where it is either zoomed in to the max or not at all, I would prefer to pinch and zoom to my preferred size for the video I'm watching.

@arvandvarahram Год назад

I love using it in the shower, too. But just a tip for you: the inner display's protector does not like the hot steam too much. Cold shower however is not an issue.

@SwatBeatsOfficial Год назад

@arvandvarahram Yeah I figured. It's held up so far, I keep it a pretty good distance from me also so fingers crossed.

@Earl1403 Год назад

This is the perfect form factor for a foldable! I just wish it was available in the UK! Maybe it will come to us in the form of a OnePlus fold?

@ZverseZ Год назад

At least the U.K. has the Nothing phone, can't get it here in the U.S. I noticed a lot of cool phone brands are available in India and southeast Asia but not in other countries

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

@@ZverseZ Yep cause the market is more competitive here. A brand needs to do well in both offline and Online market, should provide better cameras, better design, bigger battery, faster charging . Processor and RAM aren't much of a factor in Indian market. As long as the processor is launched in the same year and there's atleast 4-6gb option, its fine. We don't even need to deal with the green and blue bubble shit.

I'm hopeful but worried about Google's first gen folding phone next year. I hope they're taking notes from all these other amazing foldables.

@ArthurZakaryan23 Год назад

If leaks so far are to be trusted, the Pixel Fold is a hair narrower and a bit taller than the Find N/N2 but not as narrow as the Z Fold or as tall. I'm good with that if true. As much as I love the Find N's form factor, it is a bit too wide and too short, sort of going too much in the opposite approach of Samsung being too tall and too narrow. Whether this was always Google's plan to use those dimensions or they saw the first Find N and felt they will make theirs some middle ground we may never know. I like my Pixel 6 and 7 Pro's enough that I won't get a foldable if it's not a Pixel so I'll keep waiting.

@salty_____ Год назад

Yeah I'm really hoping the leaks are true because it looks great so far. The perfect middle ground like you said. I'm in exactly the same boat, went from pixel 6 pro to pixel 7 pro and super happy with it. I've been jealous of the Galaxy fold with every generation looking better, but I just can't tolerate Samsung's version of Android (despite them improving and stream lining it vastly). I used to be all about AOSP ROMS back in the day then moved to OnePlus (when they were good lol) and once the pixel 6 pro came out (and OnePlus 8 just didn't seem that great especially coming from OnePlus 7 pro) I knew it's time. I just really want a foldable, so I hope Google doesn't pull a pixel 3 derp face or something dumb like that.

@ArthurZakaryan23 Год назад

@@salty_____ Funny that we are both thinking the same. I have been a long time fan of Google's take on Android over anyone else going as far back as the Nexus devices but I didn't buy a Pixel till last year's 6 and being in the US who isn't a fan of Samsung means the Pixel is one of the few choices for a flagship. Just hoping the Pixel 8 Pro, if we don't see a Fold in 23, will do away with the curved sides even though it's not as bad as the 6 Pro.

@anetizen6404 Год назад

Bruh how on Earth hasn't oppo made it right for UI optimization considering this is their 2nd foldable already? Also fun fact is it's less expensive than iPhone 14 Pro in China (at ¥7999)

@TheStrayInu Год назад

Because it is optimized for Chinese apps. Why spend tons of money for features none of the customers would use. Only sold in China.

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

They optimised it for Chinese apps only. Google, Instagram,etc don't exists in China. Even Tiktok doesn't exist in China, so those apps not running properly is natural for this device as it's going to be sold only in China. Aspect ratio problems are somewhat responsible for the Android L format, which in present day sucks even on the tablets.

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

If it would had been larger, then it wouldn't be able to reach that weight. The weight is one of the biggest plus of this phone as its even lighter than Mix fold 2, with a far better hinge and cameras(p and UW)

@Rondre Год назад

Even though I love the Samsung fold I can't help but think the China foldables are so much better in term of hardware. The screen aspect ratios makes sense, some are just as thin as a normal phone and provide much more variety in size. If Xiaomi, vivo, Oppo, and Huawei would bring these designs to the west it and get the necessary adjustment it needs in software to really be just as or better than Samsung. Then the foldable category of phones would be better for all. Right now with Samsung being the only globally available option for foldables we are stuck with stagnant iteration and quite frankly overpriced phones. I'll be waiting for the time the China foldables really get recognition.

honestly I almost get angry watching these videos lol. So many incredible phones and tech that seems to only release in China. Us in Europe and US are getting left behind. Hopefully next year's foldables from Xiaomi and Oppo find their way to Europe, even if they continue to be banned/not profitable in the US. Xiaomi is huge in Europe, I don't see why they haven't brought their foldables over here yet.

Oppo is a disappointment for again not releasing it in Europe. The Chinese rom will not let you change the launcher. So not worth it to import. But I like the design off it. It's a great looking phone.

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

Foldable market isn't matured much in Europe or US, so its expected for a brand to not launch their foldables there and face a loss. Even their flagship Find X or Reno series aren't the top-dog in European market, so why face another loss by launching it in Europe whereas they will get better profit by launching it in China only?

@Achillias Год назад

@@dragonforcegaming7555 that's not true. Foldables are showing incredible growth year after year in European markets. Besides that they have warehouses in Europe, it wouldn't cost them much to sell it trough retailers or online.

@dragonforcegaming7555 Год назад

@@Achillias to be honest, it's not "foldables are showing growth" it's more of Samsung showing growth. The details you get from the websites, about foldable shipments and sales are actually provided by Samsung and they often increase the actual amount(by a good percentage) to increase their sales. Most users of Foldables in their report are from NA and Europe (which is still less than that of China). But in real life, how many do you see carrying the Foldables(or actually purchasing it? You are right that they could've sold it through online but again, how many in Europe or NA knows oppo or other Chinese brands? the ones who know, may buy but a brand(which is smaller than both Samsung and Apple as an individual) cannot take risks like this, especially in Europe after their issue with Nokia in Germany. BBK electronic's brands are especially noted for their apple-like approach, i.e, to not take risks but sit-back and let the other brands take the risks first. That's the sole reason why Oppo and Vivo never launched their foldable or smartwatch or custom NPU until last year. One more thing, Samsung launched their Foldables almost everywhere because they can afford the loss as they recover from other markets(high pricing poor specs, best example India where they exploit this brand image to it's full) and products(just like Xiaomi), so it's not a big deal for them. They don't even care much, as you saw in Z fold & flip 4. They too sell their best Foldable phone in China only. You will see that phone in Mrwhosetheboss's latest video.

@andyH_England Год назад

I expect Samsung has made massive losses with its foldable line, a deep money pit. The sales could be faster in growth, faked by Samsung offering massive trade-in deals to boost the latest Flip or Fold. Samsung is great at marketing and fooling its fan. TBH, the growth of foldable has been very slow compared to what creators and fans suggested, and the reality is that until they come down to a more reasonable price, they are doomed to be niche with maybe fewer takers over time.

I gotta be honest even though the fold 4 has its annoyances, it's still the best foldable out there.

I think I speak for all fold owners when I say the good just outweighs the bad. 😎
