"Find N", which is differentiated with Samsung consciously
Let's start by analyzing what smartphone is.
There are two -fold smartphone that emphasizes "compactness" that opens the main unit vertically, and emphasizes the "screen size" to open sideways.Find N is the latter.Bi -fold smartphones are expensive high -end products, and are the high -end products that make use of a wide screen?
The processor uses Quarcom's "Snapdragon 888" and uses a Sony image sensor with a maximum of 32 million pixels with three eyes.This area is also a "high end".
The biggest differentiation point in two folds is the display itself.
The Find N display is 7.1 inches when opened, 5.49 inches when closed.The aspect ratio when closed is 9:18, almost 1: 1 when opened.
Find Nの仕様。ディスプレイの縦横比はGalaxy Z Fold 3より少し横に広いThis is a strongly consciousness of the largest folded in two, or the Samsung product, which is almost alone,, especially "Galaxy Z Fold 3".
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is 7.6 inches when opened and 6.2 inches when closed.The aspect ratio is 9: 24.5 when closed, and 18:22.5 when opened, more vertical.
筆者私物のGalaxy Z Fold 3。折り畳んだ時の持ちやすさを考慮し、Find Nと比較すると縦長になっているGalaxy Z Fold 3 adopts the vertical length, emphasizing the ease of holding when closed and used.If you call with one hand, it is certainly better to have a narrow width.
However, when using the app in an open state, it is easier to use a little more horizontally.This is a user who uses Galaxy Z Fold 3 every day and feels among them.
There is no problem when using the application on the full screen, but if the screen is divided into two and two apps are displayed at the same time, the screen of one app is too long in the current aspect ratio.It's hard to use.
OPPO strongly appeals in the presentation that the vertical ratio of "almost 1: 1 when opened" emphasizes ease of use.
At the same time, the dominance is also appealing to the two -fold mechanism and glass.By adopting a hinge with a unique complex structure, the structure is that both sides are perfectly adhered when folded without making the "fold" stand out in the center of the glass.

Although OPPO did not give a name directly, he appealed one after another that the aspect ratio, the folding mechanism, and the "folding" were different from the Galaxy Z Fold 3.It is clear that the hardware of Find N is made of the Galaxy Z Fold series as a benchmark.
And it is also devising in terms of software.
A major feature is that smartphones that use two -screen and two screens are convenient when using two apps at the same time.On the other hand, in order to make full use of its features, it must be easy to start up two apps.This is that every manufacturer is struggling.
OPPO has adopted an interesting user interface here.If you do "cut" in the middle of the app displayed on the full screen with two fingers, the app will be in the screen split state and you will be able to call another app on the other.Until you actually use it, you can't say if this is really easy to use, but it's definitely an interesting ingenuity.
On top of that, Find N is cheap.
The model of 8GB/storage 256GB is 7,699 yuan (about 138,000 yen), and the 12GB/512GB model is 8,999 yuan (about 161,000 yen).
Galaxy Z Fold 3 is 12GB/256GB for less than 240,000 yen (selling price in Japan), so it is quite low.
This certainly seems to be competitive.
