OPPOFindN3 evaluation: A new generation of business foldable screen with integrated internal and external independent security chips for better use

Tianjiwang Mobile Channelpreface

The Find foldable screen product under OPPO has always been a unique presence in the mobile phone industry, because the first two generations of the Find series have always adopted a smaller and lighter "small foldable form". It is precisely this weight and more suitable price that makes more users willing to experience it.

To this day, OPPO Find N3 has arrived, it seems to have changed, but it has not changed. Although I am a decade old fan who regrets not continuing the small size design, it can make the screen larger, upgrade the image, and even bring a strong sense of business security without increasing weight. It gives the OPPO Find N3 a feeling of being worth "reusing" all over the body. Today, I will talk to you about OPPO, this annual flagship folding phone that strives for excellence from the inside out.

OPPO Find N3 has released a total of three color schemes this time, namely Qianshan Green, Qianhang Black, and Log Gold. I think the Qianshan Green, which I learned this time, has the most exquisite and luxurious texture. The word "thousand mountains green" comes from Xin Qiji's "Man Jianghong". The original meaning is "I can't bear to look up at the end of March, and I already feel the thousand mountains green". Just like the meaning of poetry, the combination of cold carved green glass and aluminum alloy materials on the OPPO Find N3 fuselage really brings a sense of "green mountains in front of me, making people feel happy".

It is worth mentioning that the other two color schemes, Qianhang Black and Logbook Gold, also have different characteristics from Qianshan Green. For example, Qianhang Black is a combination of lychee grain plain skin and matte metal; The log gold is made of cold carved glass and matte metal.

On the mobile camera module, OPPO has brought the Hasselle imprint "H" to the product for the first time, combined with the classic timing watch design, allowing seemingly mismatched periscope telephoto to harmoniously appear in the circular design. Below the camera module, there is also an "integrated glass" with a cutting and polishing process, which once again enhances the overall texture of the phone. In addition, the flash design of the OPPO Find N3 this time is located in the upper left corner of the camera module, which may seem disharmonious, but it carries the meaning of a bright moon and sparse stars, and a black magpie flying south.

The internal structure of a foldable screen phone is much more complex than that of a typical phone. To bring a more lightweight user experience, improving key components is crucial. The "weight reduction" of the OPPO Find N3 this time mainly comes from folding hinges and glass materials, but what surprised me was that the N3 even had its SIM card slot reshaped.

Firstly, the OPPO Find N3 adopts an aviation alloy precision simulated vertebral hinge, which reduces 23 parts compared to the previous generation of components. While reducing weight, the hinge strength has increased by 400%. Thanks to the new hinge material, the OPPO Find N3 supports free hovering from 45 to 125 degrees.

Secondly, there is super ceramic crystal glass, which is currently the thinnest nano crystalline glass in the mobile phone industry, and this type of glass is used on the external screen of OPPO Find N3. Compared to ordinary mobile phone glass in the current industry, it has 1.7 times the impact resistance and 5 times the drop resistance. In addition, with the exclusive improvement of OPPO's nanoion exchange technology, the weight of super ceramic crystal glass has been reduced by 20%, which is also a key step in weight reduction of OPPO Find N3.

Finally, there is the newly created SIM card holder. This time, the editor will not explain much and will directly use it to compare the SIM card holders of two friend phones. From the pictures, it can be clearly seen that the SIM card holder of OPPO Find N3 is smaller. According to official data from OPPO, the volume of the OPPO Find N3 card holder has decreased by approximately 12%.

Lightweight user use

Because I am an extremely sensitive user to the weight of my phone, the simplest way to make a foldable screen more user-friendly is to reduce the burden on users' daily use. Although a foldable screen combines both tablet and tablet forms, I believe no one is willing to use a "brick phone" weighing more than half a kilogram for a long time.

I have used OPPO's Find foldable screen in every generation of products. N1 and N2 are portable small foldable forms, while N3 has been upgraded to a large foldable form. When I first started using OPPO Find N3, I didn't even feel any difference from the previous generation products, mainly reflected in the weight of the product. At the same time, this also allowed me to transition naturally from the previous generation products to the OPPO Find N3, which has a good experience of alternating between new and old machines.

What surprised me was that OPPO Find N3 not only reduced weight, but also brought users a larger screen, which means greater productivity and better audiovisual entertainment. Overall, OPPO Find N3 has brought me a comfortable and burden free user experience.

Another Upgrade of Hasselblad Imaging System

Since the collaboration between Hasu and OPPO, the image configuration of each generation of foldable screens has always been the most anticipated "episode" for the editor. This time, the OPPO Find N3 has undergone a comprehensive upgrade of its imaging capabilities, including the familiar Hasselblad imaging system, periscope telephoto lens, and the dual transistor technology that has only begun commercial use this year. The imaging capabilities of the OPPO Find N3 are definitely "extraordinary".

Hassu imaging systems and periscope telephoto lenses may be common, but many students may not be familiar with the double-layer transistor technology newly installed in OPPO Find N3.

This technology is also easy to understand. The first layer of double-layer transistor technology is a photodiode, and the second layer is a pixel transistor. The combination of these two can improve the phone's ability to reduce image noise and collect more light in dark environments.

Let's take a look at the sample directly

Overall, OPPO Find N3 performs well in imaging under good daytime lighting conditions, with high clarity and resolution of photos. In some environments with high backlight, there is also no possibility of unclear portraits. Under complex lighting conditions at night, the photos taken by OPPO Find N3 are transparent and natural, without any ghosting or overexposure. In the professional mode of the camera, every photo is a very Hasselblad style blockbuster. To shoot with OPPO Find N3, all you need to do is trust this phone and press the shutter button.

Industry's Super Strong Security Chip

Security has always been a key focus of business folding screen products. Most users who purchase folding screen products handle some work files on a daily basis and are very sensitive to personal information. So how does OPPO Find N3 solve this security problem?

From a hardware perspective, OPPO Find N3 is one of the few products in the industry that is equipped with a national security chip, and its security solution has also passed CCEAL5+level security certification, which is currently the highest level security solution in China. Thanks to this security chip, OPPO Find N3 can achieve functions such as privacy protection box encryption, VIP mode, private call mode, intelligent information blocking, and more.

The smart information screening function is also very simple. OPPO Find N3 can identify some private information in our screenshots, such as ID card number, mobile phone number, ticket information, bank card number, etc. At present, the applications that support recognition include WeChat, QQ, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and DingTalk. Here, the editor also shows you a comparison chart before and after recognition.

Maintaining privacy during conversations in public is a concern for many business people, but often due to multiple factors, we cannot obtain an absolutely safe communication environment. The OPPO Find N3, with the support of a safety chip and dual diaphragm sound generating unit, can reduce earpiece sound overflow without reducing the loudness of the earpiece. According to the official data of OPPO, bystanders are unable to repeat the call content at a distance of 30cm from the phone.

Better Large Screen Interactive Experience

At present, many folding screen products on the market have different levels of internal and external screen quality, which can easily cause users to experience a sense of fragmentation when using them. The OPPO Find N3's dual screen "no distinction between you and me" this time is the most consistent internal and external relay! Firstly, both the internal and external screens of OPPO Find N3 can achieve a dynamic peak brightness of 2800 nits and a global maximum brightness of 1400 nits; Secondly, both the internal and external screens support ProXDR, super retinal display, high-frequency PWM, and intelligent color temperature technology; Finally, the most important 120Hz free dynamic refresh rate is still supported on both internal and external screens.

The editor believes that purchasing a foldable screen product is nothing more than wanting to enjoy both "mobile" and "tablet" forms. If the screen quality in both forms is different, let alone software interaction, this is because the "foundation" is not well established. The editor still hopes that in the future, more products can use the principle of "not distinguishing between you and me" in both internal and external screens as the "foundation" of "foldable screen" products.

Looking at the 7.8 inch internal screen of the OPPO Find N3, I have always felt that being able to use it does not mean being easy to use. It is better to adapt it forcefully than not. The ColorOS system of OPPO Find N3 has been adapted to national level apps such as Tencent News, Youdao Cloud Notes, Xiaohongshu, DingTalk, Scissors, etc., and has implemented multi-screen adaptation for a large number of applications.

Of course, the editor will not engage in these virtual activities, but will directly conduct practical usage tests on native applications, third-party application adaptation, and split screen experience to provide a deeper understanding of OPPO Find N3.

Firstly, there is the camera application that comes with the phone. In the camera, the editor found that OPPO has a dual screen function that can be used simultaneously. During the photography process, not only the photographer can browse the image, but also the subject can see the image.

In addition, there is a function that utilizes a large screen to simultaneously capture and preview. As you can see from the picture, after our daily shooting, the photos can appear directly on the left side, making it convenient for us to preview directly. Of course, this area can also be directly used as an album. Simply put, opening this feature combines the album with the camera for use.

In various third-party applications, I can also feel that OPPO has done a lot of adaptation work. Taking my own usage habits as an example, in my daily life, Bilibili, the Battle of the Golden Shovel, and NetEase Cloud Music are the applications I use the most frequently.

In the Bilibili application, as soon as I entered the interface, I noticed that unlike regular tablet phones, OPPO Find N3 can display three previews of video content in each row, and in the lowest end of the application bar, there is also an average segmentation spacing, which is actually full of details. In NetEase Cloud Music, similar optimization adjustments have been made, and the entire application interface's functions are not messy, but appear orderly. In the song playback interface, various interactive functions related to the song have also been displayed in the center.

Finally, there is the daily battle of the Golden Shovel that the editor must play. Although people often complain that the size ratio of the folding screen is not suitable for playing games, the editor believes that playing this strategy game with a folding screen still has great advantages. You can see from the pictures that although the foldable screen does not have much more display content than the friend's phone, the 4:3 screen ratio is more suitable for the concept of the game's "chessboard".

In terms of screen splitting function, OPPO Find N3 brings a lot of tricks. First of all, let me introduce the taskbar below your phone. Long press the blank space on this taskbar to hide it, and long press the gesture indicator bar to call up the taskbar again. This is a shortcut for us to search for applications on different screens.

Four finger pinching can directly open the application window, drag the bottom left and right corners to adjust the window size, and double-click the window to quickly return to full screen mode.

When multiple applications are opened, four fingers pinch to enter panoramic mode

In the case of full screen application, we only need to drag the desired application from the application bar below to enable split screen. And we can freely choose between vertical and horizontal screens. Here is a scene that I often use. I prefer to play both the Golden Shovel Battle and the Little Red Book at the same time. The Little Red Book searches for strategies and directly applies the strategies to the game. When I was at my peak, I even opened three apps to play a game simultaneously, including Golden Shovel Battle, Little Red Book, and Palm League of Legends.

It is worth mentioning that in this split screen state, these three applications can run simultaneously. We can directly enter panoramic mode by pinching our four fingers. As you can see from the picture, no matter which application we click on, it will not affect the operation of the other two applications. Of course, there are many such operations, such as opening multiple shopping apps for price comparison, opening maps and chat software to guide people, and so on.

Range and performance measurement

Charging measurement shows that OPPO Find N3 starts at 0%, charges at 20% in five minutes, 35% in ten minutes, 49% in twenty minutes, 72% in thirty minutes, 90% in forty minutes, and fully charged in fifty-three minutes. Of course, this data is for reference only, and the charging speed will undergo subtle changes with the charging environment.

The battery life test shows that the OPPO Find N3 has 90% remaining power for one hour of gaming, 81% remaining power for one hour of video playback, 73% remaining power for one hour of web browsing, and 68% remaining power for four hours of standby. The above tests are for reference only and are conducted using an internal screen for endurance testing. The results of the external screen test are definitely better than this data.

Regarding the performance of the mobile phone, OPPO Find N3 is equipped with a high-performance Snapdragon chip. We have also conducted actual game testing on this, and the results are as follows: it can basically stabilize between 59 frames and 60 frames.

The OPPO Find N3 can provide users with surging stereo sound in all positions, including horizontal, vertical, and hover. This means that the quality of the volume does not change with the product's usage form, which is equally important, otherwise it will bring an inexplicable sense of fragmentation.

summary

The OPPO Find N3 is the perfect interpretation of the term "foldable screen" by OPPO this year. It can be a phone, a large tablet, or a super terminal device. In panoramic mode, it can even be used as three phones at the same time. On the basis of ensuring the lightness and thinness of the product, OPPO Find N3 brings a new look to the "folding screen" product with better internal and external screen quality, super strong Hassu imaging, national security chip, and efficient large screen ecological adaptation. These are all aimed at encouraging consumers to "reuse" foldable screen phones, rather than simply trying new ones. I also hope that everyone can truly integrate foldable screen products into their lives through this product.
