Thanks to its compact nature, you won’t feel the phone is lying in your pocket most of the time. Even when folded, the phone does not feel bulky or heavy in the hand.

On the back, you get a large cover display alongside a tiny circular camera module that houses the triple camera setup with Hasselblad branding. This is a significant change from the vertical dual camera setup on the N2 Flip.

Another upgrade is the IPX4 rating, which means the phone is protected against 360-degree low-pressure jets like rain, although it won’t survive when immersed underwater. The aluminium frame on the side is thinner than before, and you get an alert slider for the first time on a flip phone.

Oppo claims the Flexion Hinge is now more durable and can last over 600,000 folds, translating to 16 years of usage if you fold the phone 100 times daily. Thanks to the hinge, you can keep the phone in unique positions, like tent mode for selfies or camcorder mode for recording videos.

I have the Cream Gold variant, which looks flashy. It has a wavy pattern on the hinge and the bottom half of the phone. You also get a premium silicon case with a snug fit for the top and bottom half of the phone.

Moreover, the alert slider is on the left, which feels tactile and clicky.

In addition, there is a secondary speaker at the top, while at the bottom, you will be greeted by the USB-C port, speaker grille, and SIM tray.

During the day, the phone takes superb shots with the Sony IMX 980 primary lens with saturated and punchy colours. I preferred the vibrant setting, as it offered social media-ready photos.

Similarly, the Sony IMX709 telephoto lens can take some good shots with amazing details; however, it offers only 2x optical zoom. There is also 5x zoom support via in-sensor zoom, and the output remains impressive.

The 48-megapixel ultrawide angle lens takes 12-megapixel shots by default, and its photos are crisp. You get the same level of colour science consistency across all three lenses, which is something very few phones offer.

The low-light photos are excellent, although the primary sensor sometimes struggles with light sources. You get a wide dynamic range and realistic colours.

Thanks to the outer cover screen, you can also use the rear cameras as selfie shooters. Furthermore, you get a 32-megapixel front-facing camera on the inner screen that takes great photos with accurate skin tones.

Regarding video recording, all cameras offer 4K at 30 FPS, which is fantastic. There is also always an EIS for stabilisation. Overall, the Oppo Find N3 Flip offers a fantastic camera experience on a flip phone.

The Oppo Find N3 Flip packs a 4,300mAh battery with 44W wired charging support although you get an 80W charger in the box. Furthermore, the charger is included in the box, which is excellent as most manufacturers don’t provide one.

During my usage, which included scrolling through social media apps, taking photos, playing casual games and listening to music on Spotify, I could get around 5 to 6 hours of battery life. The Oppo Find N3 Flip has the largest battery on a flip phone, which is evident in the results.

You can expect a great battery backup thanks to the LTPO panels and the efficient 4nm processor. Moreover, you can expect the phone to fully charge in 51 minutes, again the fastest charging speed on a flip phone.

However, there is no wireless charging support, which is a bummer. Thankfully, you won’t face any battery anxiety issues when using the Find N3 Flip, as the phone can easily last a day.
