Hello, how are you? I am the original huh, click on the attention, more exciting content waiting for you!

Cell phone manufacturers have been working tirelessly to make foldable phones more common in people's daily lives, and they continue to improve the durability of such devices. Despite the progress that has been made in this field, there are still some people who are skeptical about the practical usefulness of such devices.

The field of foldable phones, especially in terms of camera functions, has been relatively lagging behind traditional flagship phones. However, OPPO's latest Find N3 foldable phone shows that this situation is not unchangeable, especially in terms of technology and design has made significant progress.

OPPO's Find N3 foldable phone aims to tap into the potential of the foldable phone's camera capabilities, so I put it through a thorough test to see if it can be a groundbreaking product that lives up to the brand's hype.

OPPO Find N3: Design

You might think that once you've seen a foldable phone, you've learned all there is to know about this category, but in reality, there's still a lot of room for improvement and innovation. There are some aspects that are hidden beneath the facade, such as the most crucial hinge, which can pretty much make or break the device.

Then there are the aspects that you can see straight away, such as the materials used to make the phone, the flexible screen that gives the phone its unique features, and the raised camera module on the back of the phone.The OPPO Find N3 clearly focuses on these aspects and then improves on them even further to create a rather sophisticated look that you can confidently flaunt on any occasion.

Instead of applying the traditional look of a business smartphone, OPPO has given its latest large foldable phone a luxurious look, making it both a fashion statement and a technological marvel.

As an example, the classic black color is just too plain for this phone, so the back is covered in a textured vegan leather. The one we're reviewing is the Champagne Gold version, which features a single glass back panel that gives the phone a regal character. Both models feature a sandblasted metal frame and flat bezels that enhance the modern look of the phone and provide a better grip.

Considering its size and striking appearance, the design of the Cosmic Ring Camera can be a bit divisive, especially in the gold model where the lens is prominent. However, the camera's symmetrical design and smooth bumps do add a sense of elegance to its appearance. However, the placement of the LED flash might be better suited to rest inside the camera module rather than protruding into the corner of the phone.

One of the notable differences of the OPPO Find N3 compared to its predecessor is that it's a bit taller, albeit only slightly larger. The screen also has a different aspect ratio, which will change the overall design in important ways. The first two OPPO foldable phones were praised for their compact design, closer to the size of a regular phone when folded and more similar to a standard horizontal tablet when unfolded.

And this time around, the overall design is higher, with a vertical tablet look, almost similar to what Samsung and Huawei have been using for years. This definitely provides more space for content presentation, but at the same time, it unfortunately abandons the previously market-favorite and unique OPPO Find N look.

OPPO Find N3: Hinge

When considering picking up a smartphone, no matter which one, comfort and confidence are crucial considerations. However, foldable devices are very different from traditional phones and as such carry a higher level of risk, especially since the flexible screen and hinges are susceptible to damage.

Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on beefing up these two key components, but it's also vital to improve the ergonomics of your phone from the get-go in order to avoid mishaps. In this regard, the OPPO Find N3 offers an improved grip through its textured back and flat, sandblasted bezels without feeling too rough in the hand.

This helps to ensure that foldable phones are both lightweight and thin when in use, whether folded or unfolded. This isn't just for vanity purposes, but it reduces the pressure on your hand when holding the phone, reducing the risk of accidentally slipping the phone off. The design also increases confidence and stability in the grip, making the phone more comfortable to hold and more enjoyable to use.

The hinge also plays a very important role in improving the usability of the phone, especially when unfolding the phone so that the user can hold the device more steadily, whether it's using the main camera for selfies or unfolding the phone to take a shot at a particular angle.

This feature eliminates the need for an additional tripod or selfie stick to keep your device stable whether you're holding your phone in your hand or placing it on a flat surface.

When the phone is folded, it may become taller, which can be inconvenient for some people as you need to stretch your thumb more to reach the screen elements in the higher position.

Of course, the OPPO Find N3 is actually still more compact than the latest Samsung foldable phone, but its shape is much more appealing than other "vertical" foldable devices, so you don't have to worry about awkwardly tapping on the keyboard. Although some compromises have been made in terms of size, especially to accommodate more features, especially the camera, which will be a selling point for OPPO's latest foldable phone.

OPPO Find N3: Performance

The OPPO Find N3 is equipped with top-notch components inside and out, making it impeccable. While foldable phones are often mesmerizing, when it comes to performance, they are unambiguous.

The phone is powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, paired with the fastest LPDDR5x memory in a mobile device and UFS 4.0 storage technology. All of this in real-world use means you'll experience superior performance whether you're gaming, creating content, or simply enjoying an advanced user experience.

Of course, the star of the phone is its internal display, which now reaches a diagonal size of 7.8 inches. It has a resolution of up to 2240 x 2268 pixels, supports variable refresh rates from 1 to 120Hz, has precise 1440Hz PWM dimming, and support for the latest Dolby Vision and HDR10+ standards. No matter what you're watching, this screen delivers a breathtaking viewing experience. It renders rich, vivid colors, while peak brightness makes using your phone even in sunlight no problem.

The powerful chip-equipped interior and such a vivid screen make the user interface feel so smooth and responsive, it's as smooth as slicing butter. Best of all, the folding marks are virtually invisible and won't distract you from enjoying your content.

However, in the case of the OPPO Find N3's handset, this impressive screen could be overshadowed by its camera system, and that's a very wise choice. One of the shortcomings of foldable phones has always been their camera performance, mainly because they need to take up a lot of space inside these thin and light devices.

However, OPPO seems to have pulled off a miracle by not only packing a large sensor, but also integrating a telephoto lens, while maintaining the foldable phone's strikingly thin look. This not only surpasses other foldable phones, but even rivals some of the best smartphone cameras on the market.

The main camera of the OPPO Find N3 is powered by a powerful 48 MP sensor, a number that may underestimate its actual performance. However, the new Sony LYTIA-T808 1/1.43-inch sensor shows us that megapixels may not be the only consideration, as this sensor is almost comparable to a 1-inch sensor in terms of image quality and doesn't take up much space.

Ultra wide-angle lenses are often overlooked because the sensor performance is not as good as the main camera. However, the OPPO Find N3 comes with a 48 MP Sony IMX581 1/2-inch sensor that makes it a perfect complement to the main camera. To top it all off, the phone also has a stunning 64 MP telephoto camera with a 70 mm equivalent focal length, enabling 3x optical zoom and 6x lossless zoom, which preserves details by cropping the full 64 MP image.

These cameras perform well regardless of lighting conditions or shooting position. Images are bright and vivid in color, and while they may be slightly oversaturated by default, they are rich in detail with minimal noise. There is noticeable distortion with the ultra-wide-angle lens, but this is within acceptable limits.

Even more exciting is the performance of the telephoto camera, as officially promised. Even at 6x zoom, you'll still be able to capture a great deal of detail, although this is also the range where noise starts to show. The periscope design perfects the Hasselblad Portrait Mode, which produces photos with pleasing bokeh, clear subject and background separation, and a sense of depth. It also helps that the camera app offers a user-friendly scroll wheel interface that displays not only the zoom level but also the focal length.

The phone packs a 4800mAh split battery, which is quite generous for a foldable phone. It's more than enough for a full day, at least with moderate and mixed usage, and you can quickly replenish the charge with the 67W SuperVOOC fast charging feature. Unfortunately, however, unlike current high-end flagship phones, the phone doesn't support wireless charging, which may disappoint some users.

OPPO Find N3: Summary

The foldable phone market is continuing to emerge at a rapid pace, with new models vying for launch every year, filled with all sorts of compelling promises. Often, however, these devices have had to compromise on certain aspects, especially when it comes to camera performance, as there are certain limitations that need to be made in order to ensure that the device, especially the unfolded part, stays thinner and lighter.

Fortunately, however, imaging sensor technology continues to advance, bringing us smaller but more powerful sensors.OPPO has capitalized on this technological advancement by integrating three high-quality cameras into its thin and light foldable phone.

Whether you love the glossy finish of champagne gold or prefer the smooth leathery texture of classic black, the OPPO Find N3 is presented as a work of art. It boldly steps out of the market trend of carrying not just one or two, but a whole trio of powerful cameras, truly turning the rules of foldable devices on their head.

Additionally, the phone's hardware and software combination is impressive, offering users the option to use the phone for a variety of purposes, whether it's playing games, creating content, or just enjoying the convenient experience that comes with a premium smartphone.

Of course, we'd expect it to maintain a more compact size or eventually receive IP waterproofing certification, but overall, the OPPO Find N3 is clearly among the best of the best in foldable screen phones. Especially for photography enthusiasts who have been skeptical of the technology, it's going to provide a truly outstanding smartphone experience.
