OPPO is reportedly working on its next-generation foldable smartphone, the Find N3, with key specifications leaked by a tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo. The tipster earlier also leaked the schematics and key specs of this device. According to the leak, the upcoming model, expected to launch in late 2023, will be larger than its predecessor, the Find N2, but more compact compared to its rivals. It is designed to be slim and lightweight.
The leak suggests that the Find N3 will
boast a high-resolution 2268 x 2440 pixel screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It
is also anticipated to have an 8-inch foldable OLED display and a 6.5-inch FHD+
120Hz cover display. The camera setup is said to include a 50MP OIS triple main
camera with a periscope lens. The periscope lens will likely have 3x zoom
capability. The smartphone will reportedly feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
chipset, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 internal storage.
While the foldable smartphone market is
becoming increasingly competitive with releases from other brands like Samsung
and Honor, OPPO aims to stand out with its Find N3 model. By emphasizing a
sleek and lightweight design alongside advanced features, OPPO seeks to catch
the attention of consumers.
In an interesting development, a tweet by
Max Jambor suggests that OnePlus’s first foldable phone, OnePlus Open, might be
branded as the OPPO Find N3 in China. As per the tipster, the device is
expected to launch on August 29 and it will come in Black and Green colors.
However, OPPO’s Find N3 will face stiff
competition from Samsung, which is set to launch its foldable Galaxy Z Fold 5
on July 26th. Additionally, Honor has already released its Magic V2 foldable
phone, boasting an ultra-thin profile.
