FLIP PHONES OR FOLDABLES, whatever they’re being called at this point, are not new anymore. What’s new is the technology the smartphone manufacturing companies keep on adding to get customers to buy these things. If you really think about it, and I mean, really ponder over it, you will ask yourself, “why even go for a foldable smartphone?” At the price point that these phones come at, you can easily afford other flagships from Apple, Samsung and Nothing. Even Oppo has great non-foldable smartphones in its catalogue.
Oppo has tried very hard to make this phone likable. The design resembles the Oppo Find N2 Flip, which was already a very good design to begin with. With little additions here and there in the aesthetics department and a new chipset from MediaTek, the Find N3 Flip does attempt to deliver a fresh product. However, I strongly believe that the phone falls short in some areas. Let’s look at the details.
Hinge
A constant battle that foldables have to fight is making sure the user experience is top tier. This is where elements like the hinge used in the device come at play. In the case of the Oppo Find N3 Flip, the hinge is not one of its strong suits. The smartphone feels quite flimsy, to be honest. It lacks the much- needed sturdiness that its competition possesses.
Bloatware
A smartphone that costs almost Rs 1 lakh cannot justify bloatware of any kind. The very reason one goes for a flagship device is to get that crème de la crème experience. Personally, bloatware is where I draw the line.
