Clamshell foldable phones became even more popular than horizontal ones among average users. Having the possibility to fold a normal phone in half without renouncing it to a wide display is a great thing for a lot of people. And that is also the reason why OPPO just launched its first flip foldable phone: the OPPO Find N2 Flip. Besides being the first flip phone from the brand, it will also be the first OPPO foldable phone to hit the global market: it will launch globally at the beginning of 2023. Once in the global market, this device will have one single and important rival: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4. Which of these devices is the best? You will discover it after reading this comparison between the main specifications of the OPPO Find N2 Flip and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4.

Design
The designs and the form factor of these two phones are simply amazing. They are built with premium materials, including glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. When unfolded, they look like normal phones with a secondary display on the rear side, but if you fold them, you can notice that they can actually fold in half and become extremely compact. That is the reason why they are the best phones for one-handed use and the best to keep in a pocket. Between the two designs, I personally prefer the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 because it is thinner and it comes in a special Bespoke color option which I define as very original. Further, it is the only waterproof foldable phone of the duo, with the IPX8 certification. Last but not least, it has a toughened aluminum frame with drop and scratch resistance.
Display
If we talk about the internal foldable displays, these two phones are very close to each other. The OPPO Find N2 Flip comes with an internal AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.8 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification. With the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, you actually get a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a similar Full HD+ resolution and the same 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as the same HDR10+ certification. The OPPO phone has a higher peak brightness as it is able to reach 1,600 nits instead of just 1,200 nits. But the most important advantage of the OPPO Find N2 Flip is the presence of a wider and vertical external display, with a diagonal of 3.26 inches (instead of just 1.9 inches) and a resolution of 382 x 720 pixels. It allows you to see more notifications and use the rear camera as a selfie camera in a better way.
Specs & Software
The hardware department you can get with the OPPO Find N2 Flip is superior to the one found on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4. It is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9000+ processor built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at 3.2 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 3.2 GHz, and four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, as well as a Mali G710 MC10 GPU. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 gets the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset running at 3.19 GHz, but it is paired with just 8 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. So, the RAM makes the difference. Further, note that the OPPO Find N2 Flip ships with Android 13, while the Samsung ships with Android 12.
Camera
The camera hardware of the OPPO Find N2 Flip looks more convincing: the main sensor is a better Sony IMX890 with a 50 MP resolution, but it lacks OIS, while the Samsung has an old 12 MP camera, but it has OIS.
Battery
The OPPO Find N2 Flip wins the battery comparison thanks to a bigger 4300 mAh battery. It also charges faster, thanks to 44W fast charging, but, unlike the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, it lacks wireless charging.
Price
The OPPO Find N2 Flip starts from $850/€800 in China and it is yet to hit the global market, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 starts from the same price. The OPPO Find N2 Flip wins the comparison.
