WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.960 I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I was an early adopter of folding phones. 00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.200 That thing falls in the pool and then what? I go and get a folding laptop. 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:12.760 And then now here I am on ShortCircuit doing a sponsored unboxing of the Find N3 Flip 00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:18.640 from Oppo, another folding phone, but with some interesting features. 00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:27.440 It doesn't even look like a folding phone. Wow, there is almost no crease. 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.520 Yeah, you can catch it a little bit, but that's what the screen off. 00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:36.000 That's pretty cool. I'm sitting here going, you guys, you bait and switched me. 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.200 It's got really thin bezels. It has very little discernible crease. 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.160 It's not even thick. Ha, all right, included in the box. 00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:49.400 You've got a type A to type C cable, a charger. 00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:52.880 Wow. What's next? Is it gonna come with a screen? 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:58.040 Oh, it does have a screen protector on it. I mean, that makes sense. Most folding phones do come with a screen protector. 00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:02.240 How long no last, that varies a little, but it does have one. 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.000 And look at that, you can get a case. I like to live dangerously, 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.080 so I probably won't use these. 00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:12.840 Oh, oh, oh wow, there's adhesive and everything. But there you go. 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.340 They've got little protectors included. Put them on a little something like that. 00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:19.560 And wow, that is a giant camera bum. 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.760 I don't even mean that it's super thick. Once you've got the case on, 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:27.000 it's not gonna be the sort of thing that you would notice sliding it in and out of your pocket. 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.040 But they've got three shooters on this thing. A 50 megapixel wide angle, 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:37.360 a 48 megapixel ultra wide angle, and a 32 megapixel portrait camera. 00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:41.560 What makes it a portrait camera exactly? Let's go ahead and get it fired up. 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.760 Even before we've got it fired up, there's plenty to look at on the outside though. 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.580 Next to the camera, we've got their cover screen, which has Corning Victus Glass 00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:53.560 and support for over 40 apps. So you can snap pictures or change your music 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.040 without actually opening up your phone, which they claim is good for 600,000 openings. 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:05.000 And that crease I talked about before is apparently just 0.015 millimeters in depth. 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.540 On the right, we've got our lock button, which does include a fingerprint sensor. 00:02:10.540 --> 00:02:14.000 Seems like it does. Sick, volume rocker. 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:21.300 Then this is interesting. I noticed this. They have a ton of antenna bands around this thing. 00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:24.640 I don't know if that's specifically what they're referring to in this talking point, 00:02:24.660 --> 00:02:31.440 but they say the phone has what they call a 360 degree surround antenna to help alleviate dropped calls. 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:35.320 So no matter how you're holding it, it should always get good reception. 00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:39.380 In practice, I don't know how well that works on this phone. We're gonna have a chamber set up 00:02:39.380 --> 00:02:42.680 to be able to test this sort of thing, but we're not there yet. 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.880 One thing that stands out right away is the screen's nice and bright. 00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:49.480 Oh, okay, we have that at like crank brightness. I'll set this to kind of what I would normally 00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:53.600 consider to be reasonable. And man, with the screen on. 00:02:53.600 --> 00:02:58.280 Okay, seriously, can you guys even see the crease now? 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:03.840 And the hinge design, which they're calling their micro-carved flowing hinge, 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.400 is apparently rated for 600,000 openings. 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.600 Now guys, from my personal experience with folding phones, 00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:15.160 I'm not gonna oversell the durability of any hinge until I've actually seen it survive 00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:20.440 hundreds of thousands of folds. But I will say that the crease is, or lack thereof, 00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:25.240 is really impressive. It just feels like a regular phone. 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.560 You just flip it open. 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.580 Oh, that's a really satisfying sound, isn't it? Oh, right, I never showed the other side of the phone. 00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:38.560 Check it out. Alert slider, baby. It disappears from the iPhone. 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.440 And boom, it shows up on an Oppo. In all seriousness, this is probably inspired 00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:46.920 by their OnePlus subsidiary. And it's a feature that I have absolutely loved 00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:52.240 since, well, forever. It's a great feature, just being able to quickly 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.120 switch between silent, vibrate, and ring. Enough about the internal display, though. 00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:00.120 Every phone has one of those. I wanna fire up the external one and see what the experience is like. 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.160 Ah, it's like having a cute, adorable little phone. Ah, this is so ergonomic. 00:04:05.160 --> 00:04:10.120 I could take all the selfies. Wow, that's actually really impressive. 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.200 I am directly backlit, you guys. 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:18.420 The portrait mode apparently mimics the bokeh of the Hasselblad XCD 30 millimeter lens. 00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:21.520 And the 2X camera is apparently designed 00:04:21.520 --> 00:04:24.760 to mimic the bokeh effect of the Hasselblad XCD 65 00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:29.480 millimeter lens. Now, obviously, you don't have the same sensor in here 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.080 that you would in a Hasselblad camera. And this is still going to be processing effects 00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:38.040 to a degree. But this is a collaboration that's been going on between these guys for years now. 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.040 And I've gotta say the immediate impression is, 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:48.120 well, you know what? I'll just let you guys be the judge. That is, that is a pretty convincing bokeh effect. 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.320 It's still not gonna be on par with the best non-folding phones. 00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:56.380 I don't wanna set unrealistic expectations for you guys, but considering the size of the camera bump, 00:04:56.380 --> 00:04:59.980 especially relative to the overall thinness of the device, 00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:03.300 like it doesn't protrude that much, I think the results speak for themselves here. 00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:07.980 It's pretty impressive. Quick, oh, oh, oh, oh, interesting. 00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:11.720 Wow, there's all kinds of things you can do up here. You can have a few shortcuts here, 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.920 like, I don't know, setting a quick timer, boop. Use gestures to make it go away. 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.440 Bring it down from the top. You've got your main quick toggles. You can turn your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on and off. 00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:23.500 And then if you swipe in from this side, you've got apps. 00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:29.360 Like weather. Hey, Cloverdale. It does 30 FPS 4K recording on all cameras, 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.640 including 32 megapixel whole-punch selfie camera. 00:05:32.640 --> 00:05:36.840 And, huh, okay, I hope they have an easy way 00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:41.200 of changing it from a vivid profile to a more natural one. 00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:46.120 Yay, oh, this is perfect. Color temperature, nice and granular. 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.120 Vivid, natural, ooh, pro modes. 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.000 There you go. How's that? Oh, that looks so much better. 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.780 Now seems like as good a time as I need to talk about the main screen. They claim it'll hit a peak brightness of 1600 nits 00:05:58.780 --> 00:06:02.080 with a pixel density of over 400 pixels per inch. 00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:08.520 It's 6.8 inches and will go anywhere from one to 120 hertz with an LTPO-type OLED display. 00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:13.640 So basically this is as state-of-the-art as it gets, but not quite as bright as you might find 00:06:13.640 --> 00:06:19.320 in a candy bar design because, come on guys, it's folding, that is sort of part of the point. 00:06:19.320 --> 00:06:23.680 It does support HDR10, so you'll see that it'll immediately flip over into HDR mode 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.960 as soon as you open up an HDR YouTube video or something like that. 00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:30.580 Ooh, and you can adjust brightness in HDR. This has been a big push from Google 00:06:30.580 --> 00:06:34.000 to help the OEMs better implement HDR on their phones. 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.120 That looks really nice. One other key spec for the main screen 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.520 is that it's polarizer-free, which means it won't go dark every 90 degrees 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:46.480 if you're wearing polarized sunglasses, and the whole thing is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9200, 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:52.440 which is kind of wild to think about a phone that costs anywhere from 900 to 1,000 US dollars 00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:56.120 having a MediaTek chipset, but they have come a long way, 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.400 and the Dimensity 9200 looks like a solid competitor 00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:04.240 against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It's got 12 gigs of LPDDR5X memory, 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.440 Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, which is actually really solid when you consider 00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:12.680 that we're getting better 3D performance than the N2 Flip 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.920 on top of it lasting for substantially longer. 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.120 Wow, it reaches a 100% charge in an hour, 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:26.720 which is a huge improvement over last gen, taking just 58 minutes with its 44 watt Super VOOC charging, 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.900 which may not be useful all the time. Personally, I only charge at five volts, two amps maximum, 00:07:32.900 --> 00:07:36.800 but if you're in a hurry and you wanna plug into a fast charger, which conveniently, 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.600 they actually include which is nice, it is really nice to be able to have a 50% charge 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:48.160 under half an hour. This is an odd one. They specifically mentioned that the main screen 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.760 supports always-on display, though for me personally, I would fold it, 00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:56.600 but I'm not using it, but... Not the main screen, it's the cover screen that supports. 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.960 Oh, okay, the main screen doesn't, but that's okay, 00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:03.320 because I was sitting here going, what? 00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:08.000 Well, how would that make any sense? When you're not using this thing, it should be like this, 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.160 but this screen does, so you can have new notifications, 00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:14.600 just pop up on the always-on display, so you can just kind of have it sitting next to you, 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.920 check the time, quickly access whatever quick widgets you need, 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.480 and see any incoming notifications. I wanna see that fingerprint sensor again, though. 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.600 That's pretty fast. 00:08:25.760 --> 00:08:29.840 Of course, the most important feature is one I haven't talked about yet. 00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:34.040 That is the digital pet that you can keep 00:08:34.040 --> 00:08:38.320 on the outside display. This is great, you click and hold the cover screen, 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:43.160 all right, and it brings up all these different views. You got weather, you can delete that, 00:08:43.160 --> 00:08:47.200 you've got, ooh, interactive pets, just like real pets, 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.480 except they don't pee on your stuff, which is great. Let's go with this one. 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.520 Is that a cat, a mouse, a balloon, a beaver? 00:08:54.520 --> 00:09:00.200 I think it's a beaver. What do I do with it? Is this just here all the time? 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.280 This is clearly targeting a different demographic, I... 00:09:03.280 --> 00:09:04.120 Sure. 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.640 Why don't we go ahead and check out the speakers? 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.840 Huh. That's a lot better than I expected. 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:29.440 What is it with flagship phones and making, like, equally expensive laptops look stupid? 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:35.640 I don't get it. If anything, you have even more challenging design constraints. 00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:40.280 Oh, speaking of packing things in, it supports dual nano-SIMs and eSIM, 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.440 and it's available today. Thanks to Oppo for sponsoring this video 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.480 and to you guys for watching it. See you again at the next ShortCircuit.
