The new Oppo Find N2 Flip is seen as a direct opponent to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 which has a similar form factor.
The Find N2 Flip has a 6.8-inch main display and a front 3.26-inch screen which is the largest front display on and flip phone.
The vertical orientation of the front display along with its size makes an even more useful for displaying up to six notifications at a time, being able to reply to messages, adjust settings and make and answer calls.

“Find N2 Flip breaks through barriers with the largest cover screen on any flip phone.
“With it, world-class selfies and flagship photography experiences are made possible. We’re confident that the Find N2 Flip is the premium flagship foldable that Aussies will love.”
The device has polished aluminium sides and a fingerprint-resistant glass cover with a unique micro-etched wave pattern.

When unfolded users will hardly be able to feel the crease on the display.
The device has been through rigorous testing and has been independently certified with handle more than 400,000 folds and unfolds – that’s the equivalent of opening and closing the phone more than 100 times a day for 10 years.
