Weighing just 239g in vegan leather, it’s lighter than some traditional bar flagship phones.

The device is available in two exquisite colours: Sunlit Gold, featuring a glass back, and Classic Black, adorned with a vegan leather back.

Review: Oppo Find N3 Foldable Smartphone

The Find N3 stands out as the first foldable with a professional-grade imaging system, boasting the sharpest and brightest screens among foldable devices. Its advanced cameras, innovative stacked pixel technology, and Hasselblad tuning seamlessly combine with ColorOS 13.2’s next-generation capabilities, enabling PC-level productivity in the palm of users’ hands. Moreover, the Find N3 features three powerful speakers and is equipped with a large 4805mAh battery and 67W SUPERVOOC fast charging technology, making the Find N3 a best-in-class two-in-one experience in an elegant, slimline package.

The 48MP ultra-wide camera on the Find N3 stands out for its power and versatility. Its sensor size is over 100% larger than that of other flagship foldables, allowing users to capture dynamic macro shots, expansive landscapes, and group shots with exceptional clarity. For zooming capabilities, the Find N3’s ultra-thin periscope telephoto camera combines a 64MP resolution with a fast f/2.6 aperture. This setup ensures detailed shots in various lighting conditions, be it day or night.

At the core of the Find N3 series is portrait photography, enhanced by Hasselblad Portrait Mode. Both phones utilize the OPPO Computational Photography engine, which guarantees superior quality and excellent dynamic range with natural-looking results.

For a brilliant viewing experience, whether open or closed, the Find N3’s two large, user-friendly screens offer unparalleled clarity and brightness among foldable devices. The inner and outside display support class-leading peak brightness of 2800 nits, ensuring exceptional visibility even in bright lighting conditions. Building on the legacy of Find N and Find N2’s Golden Ratio displays, the Find N3’s screens are taller, resulting in a 6.3” outer screen, and a 7.8” unfolded screen. When closed, the Find N3 functions as a traditional smartphone, and when open, it becomes an immersive tablet.

Both Find N3 series’ screens display over 425 pixels per inch, ensuring flagship-level clarity. Additionally, the 1440Hz PWM dimming guarantees comfortable usage even during long periods. The LTPO technology enables a seamless 1-120Hz dynamic refresh rate, facilitating smooth scrolling and gameplay. Furthermore, adding a self-healing layer minimizes scuffs, resulting in an almost crease-free unfolded screen for an uninterrupted viewing experience.

OPPO’s third-generation Flexion Hinge lies at the core of the Find N3’s slim, lightweight profile. This hinge, despite being smaller than its predecessor, is more durable. This device not only boasts IPX4 splash resistance but is also the first phone to be independently tested to withstand 1,000,000 folds by TÜV Rheinland. Furthermore, the Find N3 has been tested through 100,000 folds in scorching 50ºC heat as well as freezing -20ºC conditions, ensuring its durability and reliability in extreme weather conditions.

The Find N3, which runs on Android 13 with ColorOS 13.2, will also receive a total of four years of software updates and five years of security updates. The Global TaskBar, featuring the App Library and File Pocket, ensures quick access to recent files and apps. With OPPO’s innovative Boundless View supporting three apps, users can effortlessly work across three tall apps, with two displayed side-by-side and a third app accessible off-screen. A simple tap brings the off-screen app into view.

The 15” Boundless View mode displays all three apps in a 7.8” tablet-like view, allowing concentrated work on one app while still multitasking smoothly between all three.

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, the Find N3 boasts a 35% improvement in performance and a 40% boost in overall efficiency compared to previous generation chipsets. With 512GB UFS 4.0 storage and 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, this device guarantees a true flagship gaming and multitasking experience. Thanks to OPPO’s Dynamic Computing Engine, the Find N3 can also handle over 40 apps running simultaneously in the background.

Equipped with a large 4805mAh battery, the Find N3 ensures reliable day-long power. Moreover, its 67W SUPERVOOC™ fast charging technology results in 80% charge in 30 minutes, and 100% in just 42 minutes.

Find N3 Flip
The Find N3 Flip introduces groundbreaking features, setting new standards in its category. It proudly stands as the first flagship triple-camera flip phone, boasting a remarkable 50MP wide, 48MP ultra-wide, and 32MP 2x zoom equivalent telephoto camera system. This innovation includes the pioneering integration of a telephoto lens, a noteworthy first for flip phones.

Beyond its impressive camera capabilities, the device’s vertical cover screen has been upgraded to support third-party apps, enhancing its versatility and user experience. OPPO’s innovative Flexion Hinge for Flip technology enables a shallow screen crease and a zero-gap hinge, providing a seamless and durable design.

Furthermore, the Find N3 Flip is powered by the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9200, guaranteeing exceptional speed and reliability. It features the largest and thickest graphite layer of any flip phone, ensuring efficient heat dissipation to maintain optimal performance. With its substantial 4300mAh battery capacity and cutting-edge 44W SUPERVOOC fast charging technology, the phone offers comfortable day-long usage and ensures quick and convenient recharges.

Coupled with the refined ColorOS 13.2, the Find N3 Flip combines premium design, flagship performance, and user-friendly software, setting a new standard for flip phones in the market.

OPPO believes in fostering long-term relationships and providing exceptional customer service and care for its current and future consumers. This commitment is reflected in the exclusive benefits offered through the OPPO Premium Service, designed to provide hassle-free support to OPPO Find N3 series’ users.

Customers can benefit from a comprehensive two-year warranty service, subject to local terms and conditions. Additionally, the service includes a 12-month Screen Protection Plan that allows for a one-time free screen replacement in case of accidental damage within the first year.

The Find N3 series from OPPO is available for pre-order on OPPO’s websites and partner retail stores, with official sales commencing on 23^rd November.

In the ever-evolving landscape of audio technology, SONOS has consistently been a name synonymous with quality and innovation. The SONOS Move 2, the latest addition to their lineup, aims to redefine the portable speaker experience. Packed with upgraded features and a commitment to delivering a superior sound experience, the Move 2 is a promising sequel to its predecessor.

Design and Build Quality
The first thing that strikes you about the SONOS Move 2 is its design – an embodiment of modern aesthetics and practicality. The sleek, cylindrical form factor exudes a premium feel, with a robust build that instils confidence in its durability. The device is constructed from high-quality materials, combining a rugged plastic exterior with a metal grille covering the speakers.

While it may be a bit bulky to be truly ‘portable’, it’s perfect for shuffling between rooms or taking out into your garden. It’s available in Black, White, and Olive colours – for this review, we received the Olive colour variant.

The SONOS Move 2 retains the signature carry handle from its predecessor, making it easy to transport. The handle is both functional and stylish, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design. The device maintains its IP56 rating for weather resistance, ensuring it can withstand dust, water splashes, and the occasional drizzle – a feature that enhances its suitability for outdoor use.

Portability
True to its name, the Move 2 is designed for portability. Weighing in at just under 3 kg, it strikes a balance between being lightweight enough for easy transport and heavy enough to communicate a sense of sturdiness. The carry handle, in addition to its aesthetic appeal, provides a secure grip, making it comfortable to carry around.

The Move 2’s built-in rechargeable battery is another key feature contributing to its portability. On paper, the speaker offers a battery life of up to 24 hours. During our real-world tests, we clocked around 20 hours of battery life, which is brilliant. The USB-C charging port ensures a quick and convenient recharge, and the Move 2 also supports wireless charging through the bundled wireless charging base, which is quite convenient.

Connectivity
One of the standout features of SONOS devices is their seamless connectivity, and the Move 2 continues this tradition. It supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, providing flexibility for various use cases. When connected to your home Wi-Fi network, the Move 2 integrates seamlessly with the SONOS ecosystem, through the SONOS app, allowing for multi-room audio synchronisation and access to a plethora of streaming services.

Bluetooth functionality, on the other hand, enables a direct connection to your devices, making the Move 2 an excellent companion for outdoor adventures where Wi-Fi may not be available. The transition between these modes is smooth, thanks to SONOS’s user-friendly app, ensuring that you can effortlessly switch between using the Move 2 as a stationary home speaker and a portable device on the go.

Sound Quality
The heart of any audio device lies in its ability to deliver a captivating listening experience, and the SONOS Move 2 does not disappoint. The device features three class-D amplifiers, which have been designed for the unique acoustic architecture of the speaker. A pair of angled tweeters produce a sharp and precise high-frequency response, enhancing stereo separation.

A single mid-woofer guarantees the accurate reproduction of mid-range vocal frequencies and deep bass tones. Overall, the SONOS Move 2 offers crisp highs and deep, resonant lows. Whether you’re playing your favourite upbeat tracks or immersing yourself in a podcast, the clarity and richness of the audio are remarkable.

The automatic Trueplay technology further enhances the listening experience by automatically tuning the sound based on the speaker’s surroundings, ensuring optimal performance in any environment. The Move 2’s stereo sound capabilities add depth to the audio, creating a more immersive experience. Even at higher volumes, the sound remains distortion-free.

Smart Features
Building on the success of its predecessor, the Move 2 incorporates a range of smart features that elevate its usability. The inclusion of voice control through popular virtual assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant enhances the hands-free experience. Whether you’re adjusting the volume, skipping tracks, or checking the weather, the Move 2 responds promptly to your voice commands.

Furthermore, the SONOS app provides a centralised hub for controlling the Move 2 and other SONOS devices in your home. The app’s intuitive interface allows for easy customisation of sound settings, grouping speakers for synchronised playback, and accessing a wide range of streaming services.

Verdict
Overall, the SONOS Move 2 successfully builds upon the strengths of its predecessor, delivering a portable speaker that seamlessly combines style, durability, and exceptional audio quality. Its versatility in connectivity, robust build, and impressive battery life make it a go-to choice for both indoor and outdoor settings.

While the Move 2 comes with a premium price tag, the investment is justified by the premium audio experience it offers. Whether you’re a dedicated audiophile or a casual listener, the SONOS Move 2 stands out as a reliable and feature-rich option in the competitive landscape of portable speakers, reaffirming SONOS’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio technology. The SONOS Move 2 thus walks away with the Gadget Voize Editors’ Choice award!
