OPPO just launched its first foldable phone and it is already an outstanding success. The official sales will begin on December 23 but the handset already went on sale in limited quantities a few days ago, with an immediate sold-out. According to OnePlus’ CEO Pete Lau and a lot of other people, the OPPO Find N is the best foldable phone released until now. But is it the truth? In order to understand it, we decided to compare it to the other last-generation foldable phones. After comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, here is a comparison between the specifications of OPPO Find N and Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold.

Design

The design of the OPPO Find N is simply stunning. In my opinion, the phone is a lot more attractive than Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold due to its amazing glossy finish, color options, and, more than anything, its compact dimensions. Its rear glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus is reminiscent of the OPPO Find X3 and the Reno6 Series, and it is very compact while folded thanks to a 5.49-inch external display with very narrow bezels. The Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold uses ceramic instead of glass, but it is not enough to make it more suggestive than OPPO Find N which is also thinner and lighter than its rival.

 

Display

The display of the OPPO Find N is smaller than the one of the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold with a diagonal of 7.1 inches against 8.01 inches, but its quality is higher. It is an AMOLED display provided by Samsung with the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz, the HDR10+ certification, and a very high resolution. Unfortunately, the internal display of the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold does not have a high refresh rate, but it shows up to one billion colors and supports Dolby Vision, besides the HDR10+ certification. When it comes to the external displays, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold wins the fight with its 90 Hz AMOLED panel providing HDR10+ and Dolby Vision just like the foldable panel inside. OPPO Find N and Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold have stereo speakers and rely on side-mounted fingerprint readers for authentication.

 

 

Specs & Software

The OPPO Find N and the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold are powered by the same mobile platform: the flagship-class Snapdragon 888 running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz. They both provide flagship performance with almost no limits in every scenario. The winner of the hardware comparison is the highest-end memory configuration of the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold because it provides 16 GB of RAM. On the other hand, the OPPO Find N is based on Android 11 (customized by ColorOS 12), while the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold still ships with Android 10 (customized by MIUI 12). Note that the OPPO Find N also provides very advanced software features taking advantage of its form factor.

 

Camera

The best foldable phone in terms of camera performance in the whole market is the OPPO Find N. It is equipped with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 16 MP ultrawide camera. The Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold features 3x optical zoom, but its main camera is inferior, as well as its 20 MP front camera. The OPPO Find N has two amazing 32 MP front cameras: one on the internal display and another one on the external panel.

 

 

Battery

The battery of the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold is actually bigger because the phone is bigger too and there is more space to contain a bigger battery. The Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold should guarantee a longer battery life in several scenarios due to its bigger 5000 mAh unit, and it will also provide faster charging thanks to a power of 67W. But the OPPO Find N adds wireless charging, which is not present on the Mi Mix Fold.

 

Price

Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold starts from about €1300/$1470, while the starting price tag of the OPPO Find N roughly translates into €1070/$1210. Due to its more compact form factor, I personally prefer the Find N. It also provides better cameras, so it is definitely the winner of this comparison, in my honest opinion.
