After the OnePlus and Oppo merger, Pete Lau has been very vocal in his support of its sister company, Oppo. And with the announcement of the Oppo Find N at the Oppo Inno Day virtual launch event on 15 December today, Pete Lau has taken to Weibo to share his thoughts on Oppo’s first foldable.

“The Oppo Find N is the foldable flagship that I found myself feeling the most joyful, heart-stirring, and irresistible product yet, in my many years in the industry. It is personally the best foldable to use in the market right now,” Pete Lau stated.

He also stated in the Weibo post that in creating the perfect dimensions for the Find N, Oppo ran into a lot of conflicts internally, as well as running into an employee almost resigning due to the hardships they faced in creating the Find N.

As announced earlier, research for the Find N has been ongoing for at least 4 years, and that the Find N would be the first foldable in the industry to use a vertebral-designed hinge compared to the U-shaped hinges of its industry peers, seen as the turning point for foldables going mainstream. 

The hinge was the biggest challenge for the Find N, as Pete Lau mentioned that Oppo had to patent 125 technologies, just to eliminate the crease, and the end result was an almost no-crease customer-wowing industry-leading flagship foldable.

The newly designed hinge is said to help solve the screen crease problem that has been plaguing foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold3 to this day. Pete Lau previously shared that when he showed the Oppo Find N to other foldable users, their reaction to the Oppo Find N having an unnoticeable crease was jaw-dropping.
