Oppo Find N2 Flip price in Kenya is KSh103,000. This is the 8GB RAM / 256GB internal storage variant of the Find N2 Flip which is available in Black, Gold and Violet.

Design & Build

The Oppo Find N2 Flip is a phone that exudes luxury. Its size is similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 4, but it is only slightly more prominent, with a 6.8 screen that folds in half to form a perfect little square, with its cameras at the bottom corner. However, the Find N2 Flip’s upgraded ‘Flexion’ hinge sets it apart from its main rival. The waterdrop shape at the hinge allows the screen to fold shut entirely, with no gap, reducing the screen’s crease’s obviousness in the process. While we have seen this in more significant foldable and Huawei’s P50 Pocket flip phone, Samsung has not managed it yet.

One advantage of the Find N2 Flip is its sturdiness, resulting from its upgraded hinge. The hinge can only hold the screen open up to 110 degrees, which is a minor downside. The Z Flip 4 can stay put when bent further, and this could be missed at times during video calls. Another area where Oppo lags is that the Find N2 Flip has no IP rating for dust and water resistance, unlike the Z Flip 4, which is IPX8-rated, meaning it has good water resistance but no official dust protection.

The Find N2 Flip has a gold edition in China, first launched in late 2022, while the international edition comes in black or purple. The black model has a slightly grippy, textured finish to the glass body, which is excellent, with a subtle sparkle. However, purple is glossier, which is a shame, as the black model is preferable.

Screen & Speakers

There are two screens on the Oppo Find N2 Flip, and the one that does not fold is arguably the most interesting. The 3.26 cover display on the phone’s exterior is much larger than on any other flip phone, whether from Samsung, Huawei, or Motorola. It is technically a larger screen than was on the first-ever Android smartphone, the HTC Dream, and only a fraction more compact than the first-gen iPhone.

The portrait orientation of the screen is a deliberate choice by Oppo to improve usability. This is evident when you use the outer screen as a camera viewfinder for selfies, which is in the same orientation as the camera itself. It also feels more natural when flicking through notifications.

The inner screen on the Find N2 Flip is a 6.8 OLED display with a 1080 x 2460 resolution and 390 pixels per inch. The fantastic display has excellent color accuracy and high brightness, making it perfect for outdoor use.

However, the crease in the middle of the screen is still visible, although it is less noticeable than in previous models. The device also has a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling through content and playing games smooth and responsive. The Find N2 Flip also has stereo speakers, one at the top and the other at the bottom, giving a balanced sound experience.

Specs & Performance

The Oppo Find N2 Flip is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, one of the fastest smartphone processors available today. It also has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which should be sufficient for most users. The device runs on Android 12 with Oppo’s own ColorOS 13 skin on top, which is highly customizable and user-friendly. The device also supports 5G connectivity, which means it can use faster download and upload speeds on compatible networks.

Camera & Video Capabilities

The Oppo Find N2 Flip has a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 13-megapixel telephoto camera. The cameras perform well in different lighting conditions and produce sharp, detailed images with good color accuracy. The device also has a 32-megapixel front-facing camera, which takes great selfies and is perfect for video calls.

The Find N2 Flip can also shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second, which is great for capturing high-quality footage. The device also has several video features, such as slow motion and time-lapse, allowing users to get creative with their video content.

Battery & Charging

The Oppo Find N2 Flip has a 4,500mAh battery, which should last most users a full day with moderate use. The device also supports fast charging, with a 50W charger in the box, which can charge the device from 0 to 100% in under an hour. The device also supports wireless charging, with a 30W wireless charger sold separately.

Software Updates

Oppo has promised to provide three years of software updates for the Find N2 Flip, which is a good sign for users who want to keep their devices up to date with the latest features and security patches. This significantly improved the first-generation Find N, which only received two years of updates.

Should you buy the Oppo Find N2

The Oppo Find N2 Flip is an excellent device with impressive specs and features. Its upgraded hinge, the larger cover display, and powerful processor set it apart from its main rival, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. While it has minor drawbacks, such as no official water and dust resistance rating, the device is an excellent option for those looking for a foldable smartphone. Its high price tag may put some users off, but for those willing to invest in a premium device, the Oppo Find N2 Flip is worth considering.
