OPPO explains philosophy behind the Find N3 Flip cover screen

News

October 11, 2023

OPPO made a significant stride in the mobile industry with the launch of its Find N2 Flip, featuring the market’s largest cover screen at 3.26 inches. Then, it launches the Find N3 Flip, which once again sets the standard in the user’s overall experience by introducing enhancements in its latest flip smartphone.

Vertical is Better

The development team at OPPO faced a pivotal choice while designing the Find N3 Flip: continue the race for the biggest cover screen or redefine the concept. They took a step back and conducted a thorough analysis to determine the cover screen that offers the most optimal user experience. The conclusion: “Vertical is Better.”

Selfies with No Crop

The vertical orientation of the Find N3 Flip’s cover screen aligns with the user’s daily smartphone screen use. When capturing selfies, users can see the complete preview without cropping. This orientation corresponds with the phone’s camera sensor, ensuring that the photos taken are a true reflection of what the user sees.

Compared to other products that have enlarged their cover screens horizontally, the vertical design of the Find N3 Flip provides a superior preview of more content. It empowers users to compose their shots more effectively and confidently.

Bigger is Better

The vertical orientation of the Find N3 Flip complements the way most Android apps are designed to work on vertical screens, offering a more natural and intuitive experience. The larger screen real estate allows for the display of more information.

In comparison, the Find N3 Flip outperforms its counterparts by offering previews of more text messages and emails (e.g., Gmail) and showing more comprehensive conversation details (e.g., WhatsApp). Additionally, it can display complete social media posts (e.g., Twitter) including text and all four accompanying images, while other products can only show a portion of the text.

These efficiency disparities in daily use are a result of the unique vertical orientation rather than just screen size.

The Next-Level Cover Screen Experience

OPPO has collaborated with partners like Google to fine-tune the user experience for various apps to ensure optimal scaling on the cover screen. Out of the box, the Find N3 Flip supports dozens of popular apps on the cover screen. This includes Google apps such as Phone, Maps, Keep, and Gmail, along with other popular apps for social media, short videos, music streaming, food delivery, car-hailing, maps, online payments, and more.

Users can answer calls with Google Dial, play games with GameSnacks, book a ride with Grab, navigate using Google Maps, check social media posts, or reply to messages in apps like Telegram, all without having to open the phone.

OPPO plans to expand the list of supported apps on the Find N3 Flip’s cover screen through future software updates, promising users a next-level cover screen experience.

Infinix ZERO 30 5G: The Best Vlogging smartphone for budget-minded Filipinos

Infinix has recently released their newest mid-range smartphone for the Filipinos, the Infinix ZERO 30 5G. It’s the newest stylish smartphone and it comes with a lot of features including a powerful processor, a selfie camera that is made for blogging and pretty impressive hardware. Here are just some of the reasons why we love this smartphone.

Powerful chip inside

The Infinix ZERO 30 5G is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8020 Processor with 12GB of RAM and it can be expanded up to 21GB. The processor of the smartphone is powerful enough in the midrange segment and it can handle most demanding apps and games with ease.

I’ve been playing games such as Genshin Impact which is one of the most demanding mobile games out there and I was able to play the game in medium settings but at up to 45-60fps. Opening different apps simultaneously was also fine on the smartphone as I didn’t experience too much lag with it.

Versatile camera, not just for vlogging

One of its unique selling points of the Infinix ZERO 30 5G is the 50MP selfie camera as the smartphone is capable of shooting 4K60fps on the front-facing camera and the quality of the shots that we got were great. You can create amazing stories, selfies, and videos with its powerful selfie camera.

As for the rear camera, there’s the 108MP main camera, 13MP ultrawide camera and also a 2MP depth camera. There’s OIS as well so your videos and photos were pretty much stabilized. Surprisingly, the rear camera was great as well. The shots that we took were vivid, crisp and clear.

Selfies

Rear Camera

The shots that we took prove that the smartphone is not just for vlogging but it’s also a pretty good mobile shooter for its price range. So whether you’re a vlogger or just a hobbyist who loves to take travel and food photos, then you’ll definitely love its camera.

Sexy and premium design

The Infinix ZERO 30 5G is one of the sexiest and sleekest smartphones in its price range. The smartphone comes in Rome Green, Fantasy Purple, and Golden Hour which gives you the variety to choose from the three different stylish colors. With the Rome Green that we got, the combination of the Rome Green Vegan Leather with Gold looks perfect as it makes the smartphone look more premium and elegant. Combined with that is the camera module that looks like it was screwed at the back.

The smartphone is also ergonomic thanks to the perfect curves at the front and back of the smartphone and it’s thin and light as well at 7.9mm and 185g respectively.

Superb hardware for a flagship

The Infinix ZERO 30 5G doesn’t compromise on other hardware as the smartphone is definitely a beast for its price range. The smartphone also features a flagship-level 6.78-inch Curved AMOLED Full HD+ Display with a 144Hz refresh rate. This beats most of the midrange smartphones out there and even some of the flagship ones. It’s beautiful to look at and the quality of the display is excellent.

Not just that because the smartphone also comes with a 5000mAh battery that can last through the day and also a fast 68W Fast Charging which can fully charge the smartphone in less than an hour. For its price range, the Infinix ZERO 30 5G has an advantage in most of the aspects of its hardware.

Value for money

Despite having a powerful hardware, amazing camera and sexy design, the Infinix ZERO 30 5G doesn’t compromise on the price. The smartphone is priced at Php14,999 which makes the smartphone one of the best in its price range in terms of camera and design.

It beats most of the smartphones in the midrange segment thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor, the ability to record at 4K60fps on the selfie camera, and the vegan leather or gorilla glass back material.

With the Infinix ZERO 30 5G, you can get a premium smartphone with powerful hardware inside but with an affordable mid-range price.

If you want to get one, you can purchase the Infinix ZERO 30 5G right now at Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
