OPPO held a new product launch conference. At this event, it released a new folding-screen smartphone, namely the OPPO Find N2.
Design
The OPPO Find N2 has two versions, using lychee grain leather and glass. Plus, there are three colors of plain black, pine green, and cloud white. Among them, the plain black variant is made of leather, while the pine green and cloud white variants are made of glass. It adopts the AG frosting process. In effect, the back cover can show different color changes with the change of light.
Weight and hinge are the two key points of any foldable handset. In this regard, the OPPO Find N2 uses aerospace-grade materials to miniaturize the shape of the hinge. Also, it uses carbon fiber material as the screen support frame. In order to further reduce weight, the screws are replaced with custom titanium alloys.
As a result, the OPPO Find N2 weighs only 233g. Thus, it is the lightest horizontally folding smartphone on the glove. In comparison to some mainstream flagship phones, it is even lighter.
The OPPO Find N2 hinge is made of high-strength composite carbon fiber. It weighs less than half of the previous generation. But on the other hand, it nearly doubles the strength. The entire hinge parts are connected without a screw and are integrally formed.

The internal screen of the phone uses a 7.1-inch Samsung E6 OLED screen with a ratio of 8.4:9, a resolution of 1792*1920, 370PPI, and a global peak brightness of 1200 nits.

Both internal and external screens support a 120Hz refresh rate.
