Xiaomi recently unveiled its foldable smartphone for the year, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. While the first generation model from the brand receivedan  average response, the company is likely hoping its second generation model, with a slimmer and more premium-looking design profile, manages to catch everyones attention.

We have already compared the two main flagships of 2022 – the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 vs the Galaxy Z Fold4. But there are multiple options for foldables in the Chinese market like the OPPO Find N which received a lot of media attention a few months back. So we thought it would be a good idea to compare the new Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 vs the OPPO Find N in this article.

Here’s a quick specs comparison between two slim foldables available in the market in 2022.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 vs OPPO Find N

Design

The two foldables adopt a different approach when it comes to their designs. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 comes with a much larger screen and consequently larger dimensions. However, it’s both thinner and lighter than the OPPO Find N, and by a considerable margin.
If we directly compare the dimensions, the Mix Fold 2 (161.1 x 144.7 x 5.4mm) is both taller and wider than the OPPO Find N (132.6 x 140.2 x 8.0mm). However, the Xiaomi foldable compensates for its larger dimensions with a much thinner profile (5.4mm unfolded and 11.2 mm folded vs 8mm unfolded and 15.9mm folded on the Find N). What’s also interesting is that the outer display on the Mix Fold 2 is wider than the Find N, putting it much closer to our standard smartphone displays.

As for their weights, the Mix Fold 2 weighs 262gms vs 275gms of the OPPO model.
Even their design philosophies are different. While the Mix Fold 2 comes with a boxier design with sharper corners (like the old Galaxy Note series), the Find N comes with rounded corners with a curvier profile.

Since both the phones feature an inward folding design, the final choice in this department would boil down to your personal preference. If you want a compact design with a curvier profile, go for the Find N, but if you want a foldable that’s slim and features a larger screen like a tablet, go for the Mix Fold 2.

Display

Owing to the larger dimensions of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, it boasts a much larger screen too. On the outside, it comes with a 120Hz HDR10+ 8-inch 1914 x 2160 pixel resolution display (LTPO2) with Schott UTG glass. As for the cover display, it has a 6.56-inch panel, again with 120Hz, 21:9 aspect ratio, and HDR10+, making it very close to our standard smartphone screen size.

In comparison, the OPPO Find N features a 7.1-inch foldable display with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. But on paper, this LTP0 display is less bright than the Mix model. Also, the cover display is pretty compact at 5.46-inches with 988 x 1972 pixels resolution and does not feature a high refresh rate.

Clearly, the Mix Fold 2 outdoes the OPPO Find N in the display department, which isn’t surprising given that it’s a fairly new device.

Both foldables come with side-mounted fingerprint sensors.

Specs & Software

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is a 2022 smartphone and this is evident in its specifications. The biggest update to the device is in the processor department, now featuring the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip, which is way faster and more efficient than the one found inside the Find N mode. The OPPO foldable is powered by the Snapdragon 888 running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz.

As for their memory configuration, the Mix 2 Fold maxes out at 1TB ROM and 12GB of RAM while the Find N has a max configuration of 512GB ROM and 12GB RAM.

In the software department, the Mix Fold 2 runs on the newer Android 12-based MIUI Fold 13 OS. In comparison, the OPPO Find N is still running on Android 11 (customized by ColorOS 12). But it is worth adding that the Find N did get support for the Android 13 beta update and is expected to receive the new ColorOS 13 stable update in the coming months.

Both phones have features tweaked to take full advantage of their foldable form factor.

Camera

Both the foldables have pretty good camera setups. The Mix Fold 2 comes with a 50MP f/1.8 primary camera with OIS, another 8MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 13MP Ultra wide shooter. Note that these cameras are Leica optimized like its 12S series.
Similarly, the OPPO Find N comes 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 foldable features a 20MP selfie camera while the OPPO Find N has two amazing 32 MP front cameras: one on the internal display and another one on the external panel.

Only a real-life camera comparison between the two phones will reveal if either of them has an advantage in the camera department. That said, both phones have pretty solid camera setups.

Battery

In the battery department, the two foldables feature the same 4500mAh capacity batteries. However, the Mix Fold 2 comes with a faster 67W wired charging. On the other hand, the Find N has a slower 33W charging support, but adds 15W wireless and reverse wireless charging support.

The wireless charging support justifies the thicker profile of the OPPO Foldable and having a feature like this would give it an advantage over the Mix foldable, despite its faster wired charging speeds.

Price

Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 starts around 8,999 yuan (~$1,335) for the base 256GB storage, while the starting price tag of the OPPO Find N roughly translates into €1070/$1210. Given that the Xiaomi foldable is a brand new device, it’s pretty expensive to buy globally and retails for around $1700 via Giztop. On the other hand, the OPPO Find N retail for a much cheaper price tag globally at around $1299.
If you are ready to shell out more for a top-end foldable, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 would be a good choice. However, the OPPO Find N is also a pretty competitive foldable, despite being older, and can save a significant amount of your money if you get it right now.

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.

OPPO is long-rumored to launch a foldable smartphone. A report from a few days back revealed that this phone will make its debut in December. Now, a tipster sheds some details on the handset’s displays and cameras.

According to Digital Chat Station, the first-ever foldable smartphone from OPPO will feature an inward folding design. It is said to unfold into a tablet like the Galaxy Z Fold3 and HUAWEI Mate X2.

The leaker says that the cover screen will be slightly curved at the edges. It will have a 60Hz refresh rate and a centered punch hole.

On the other hand, the inner folding canvas will support up to a 120Hz refresh rate and will sport a punch hole at the top left corner. The same source had previously revealed the primary 7.8-inch to 8-inch display to be of LTPO-type. At that time, the leakster also said that the device will boot ColorOS based on Android 11 and will be powered by a Qualcomm snapdragon 888 SoC.

Further, the tipster’s new Weibo post from earlier today says that the handset will have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. His post also reads that the phone’s rear camera module will resemble that of the OPPO Reno6 series.

The leaker discloses that the handset will house a triple rear camera consisting of a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, a 16MP Sony IMX481 tertiary sensor, and a 13MP Samsung ISOCELL S5K3M5 tertiary sensor. Lastly, the device will come with a 32MP selfie camera but it’s not known whether this sensor will reside outside or inside.

We expect to learn more about the upcoming OPPO foldable smartphone in the coming days ahead of its official launch.

OPPO is long-rumored to launch foldable smartphones. The company itself confirmed the same at the end of last month. Today, we get to learn some of the key features of the firm’s first foldable from a reliable leaker.

According to Digital Chat Station, OPPO’s first foldable smartphone will be similar to the Galaxy Z Fold series. In other words, the phone will unfold into a tablet.

This device will sport an inner foldable OLED display that will measure around 7.8-inch to 8-inch. This screen is said to have a resolution of 2K+ pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Further, it will house a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera on the rear and a 32MP front-facing camera. For biometrics, it will use a sid-mounted fingerprint sensor.

The handset will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. Lastly, the tipster says that it will run ColorOS 12 based on Android 11.

Unfortunately, we do not have further information on this device. Although OPPO had revealed its plans to release foldable it did not provide any timeline. However, the company’s first tablet has been confirmed to launch in the first half of 2022.

OPPO is long-rumored to enter the tablet category. When the company unveiled ColorOS 12 based on Android 12, it revealed that the latest version of its mobile software is compatible with different form factors, including tablets and foldables, thanks to a new responsive device. Today, one of the top executives of the firm officially confirmed the arrival of tablets and multi-form smartphone products.

At a partner summit, Liu Bo, Vice President of OPPO and President of OPPO China, disclosed the company’s plans for high-end products, IoT products, and eCommerce strategy.

According to a report by Sina Technology, the OPPO exec confirmed that his company will launch its first tablet in the first half of 2022. In case you missed it, vivo is also set to release its first tablet around the same time.

The exec also revealed that OPPO will be also debuting ‘multi-form smartphone products’. In other words, the firm will be launching foldables and similar unique devices. But unfortunately, he did not give a specific timeline for their release.

Last year, the tech giant showcased a rollable concept smartphone called OPPO X 2021. It even announced a tri-fold concept smartphone design in partnership with a Japanese design firm called ‘nendo’. Hence, we can expect a commercial version of these products.

Talking about high-end devices (¥4,000+), Liu Bo disclosed that OPPO is currently the third-largest premium Android OEM in the overall Chinese smartphone market and the second-largest in the Chinese offline smartphone market. He also said that the awareness of the OPPO Find X3 series has increased from 46% to 60%.

Further, with OnePlus becoming a sub-brand of OPPO after the merger, the company’s eCommerce business is also growing strong with a presence on popular retailers like JD, Suning, GOME, Pinduoduo, and others, in addition to its own Huantai Mall.

Lastly, OPPO will continue to release new products across different IoT product categories like truly wireless earphones, fitness trackers, smartwatches, smart TVs, and more.

A new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) will soon be added to the growing list of manufacturers of smartphones with a foldable or rollable display. Chinese manufacturer OPPO is rumored to be in the final stages of releasing its first smartphone with a foldable display by the end of June or possibly July 2021. This was disclosed by the noted tipster, Digital Chat Station who has got a high degree of accuracy with his leaks.

The race for the delivery of a foldable display seems to be very keen among Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Vivo, together with OPPO and a few others, as well as Google, all pursuing the release of the models within 2021. However, it should be stated that the information is speculative and none of the companies mentioned have put out any definitive statement on their rumored rollout of foldable displays this year.

On the other hand, Chinese giant, Huawei has announced its foldable device for 2021, and Samsung is also projected to release the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 as well in 2021. Huawei and Samsung could we’ll be the frontrunners in the race, having put out some form of confirmation of their plans.

There are speculations that most of the upcoming smartphones with foldable displays are the versions with in-folding capacity, as compared with the initial out-folding models that have been previously produced by some manufacturers. Huawei had come up previously with an out-folding display model, the Huawei MateX, whose initial hype has died off and may have been plagued by many technical issues due to the out-folding nature of its display. It is believed that Huawei’s new offering will be an in-folding model.

It is a mixed bag of opinion among smartphone customers on the utility and durability of foldable displays over conventional flat displays. While some consumers believe that foldable displays are quite compact and could be as efficient and durable as other displays, many consumers are of the view that foldable display models are very fragile and less efficient.

Foldables are the new craze in town. Samsung showed off its Galaxy Fold a few days back, followed by Huawei’s unique take on the design. But one thing’s clear. Foldables aren’t meant for the masses, not at least in the initial period. We are still a few months away from getting our hands on the recently announced foldables. The announcements were basically a formality as we still haven’t got a good look at the devices from both Samsung and Huawei. But these aren’t the only two manufacturers trying out their luck in this market.

Other Chinese companies are working hard to perfect their foldable versions. We have already seen the one from Xiaomi, but it’s still in the prototype stage. Now, even OPPO confirmed that it has been working on one, but unfortunately, you won’t be able to get your hands on it. The company’s VP, Brian Shen showed off a few real images of the OPPO Foldable smartphone but went on to say that they had no plans to mass produce it.

The OPPO Foldable phone has a similar design as the Mate X. And judging from the consumer response so far, it’s clear that the Mate X’s out folding design is preferred. So, it’s possible that this design would catch on among other manufacturers.

The decision to not mass produce the device isn’t really surprising. The technology is still in the nascent stages. It’s really a huge bet to just mass produce these devices which will have a very niche market considering their exorbitant price tag. This year’s release is more of a proof of concept rather than a device that’s worth mass production. That said, Mate X is one phone that we all are looking forward to. Despite being a first generation product, if the hardware and software work close to what we are expecting, then the company will have a winner this year.

But at present, it looks as if other manufacturers are happy watching how the market unfolds. If things go well for Samsung and Huawei, expect a lot more foldables entering the market next year.
