OPPO to launch new flagship foldable phone in the country

OPPO is set to launch in the Philippines its new flagship foldable smartphone on Thursday, the Find N3 Flip.

The OPPO Find N3 Flip aims to elevate the standard in flip phone technology, the company said in a statement this week.

The highlight of the newest OPPO foldable phone is the cover screen display, which introduces a host of more functional enhancements. The OPPO Find N3 Flip’s cover screen will allow users to access and use multiple apps, without having to unfold their smartphone,” OPPO said.

“The improved cover screen can accommodate more popular apps, including third-party apps like Gmail, Spotify, X (formerly Twitter), WhatsApp, and Google Maps. So, whether you need to scroll through your social media timelines, check a map, switch tracks, or write a quick e-mail, it’s all just a tap away on the cover screen,” it added.

The cover screen also allows up to six simultaneous notifications, OPPO said.

“The OPPO Find N3 Flip takes personalization to the next level with over 20 screen styles you can customize, direct cover widgets to add for applications such as Messages, Camera, Battery, Recorder, Timer, and To-dos,” it said.

“It also enhances the user experience by introducing a fresh animated weather wallpaper and a corresponding Always-On Display that provides real-time information. It improves accessibility by enabling users to pin three widgets or apps directly onto the cover screen wallpaper, offering swift, and convenient access with just a tap,” OPPO added.

The Find N3 Flip is powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 9200 chipset and a 4,300 mAh battery that supports 44W fast charging.

It has a glass and metal body with a curved form. It will be available in two colors: Cream Gold and Sleek Black.

OPPO said the Find N3 Flip is the first flip smartphone to feature a triple camera system, which consists of a 50-megapixel (MP) main camera, 48-MP ultra-wide camera, and 32-MP telephoto portrait camera setup powered by Hasselblad.

When operating the camera with the phone closed, the cover screen can be used as a rear camera viewfinder, OPPO said.

When the smartphone is opened, the top half of the screen can be used to preview the image, while the bottom half can display the camera controls setup, it added. — M.H.L. Antivola
