OPPO had officially announced its first commercial foldable smartphone, the Find N, earlier this week in China. The smartphone arrived with one of the more reasonable price tag for its category, and has already been sold out in the company’s home market. Although, the device has also appeared on second hand reselling platforms and is selling for a much higher price tag than its original retail price.
Talking about the smartphone first, the Find N is the Chinese smartphone maker’s latest flagship product that targets the ultra high end segment in the market. Furthermore, Find N also marked OPPO’s entry to the foldable market that is currently being dominated by Samsung. But while Samsung already has an established presence in the segment, the Chinese brand’s Find N arrives at a price point much cheaper than the former’s Galaxy Z Fold3 series (You can check out our comparison between the two by clicking Here).
At the moment, the Find N is set to go on sale on December 23, however, the company had launched the foldable smartphone in limited quantities through both offline and online channels. Furthermore, the device sold out quite quickly in China, which doesn’t seem surprising considering its pricing rivals other conventional high end phones from Apple and Samsung. Looking at the original pricing, the Find N is available in two storage configurations, namely 8GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB variants.
The former is priced at 7,699 Yuan (roughly $1,210) while the latter costs 8,999 Yuan (roughly 1,410). But for those looking to buy this smartphone, it might be difficult finding it at this price since it has already been sold out and early buyers are reselling this device for a much higher price tag than the original (Via ITHome). On the second hand/used goods platform, people are selling their unopened base model for 9,299 Yuan (roughly $1,460), while the 512GB version is now being resold for 12,000 Yuan (roughly $1,880). While this isn’t as bad as the Mate X2 reselling incident, the pricing still quite hefty for those looking to get their hands on what could possibly be the best foldable phone in the market.
