Oppo says that the Oppo Find N is the result of 4 years of“intense R&D”and 6 generations of prototypes, one of which was shown off by the company’s VP Brian Shen back in 2019. Oppo’s new CPO Pete Lau thinks it’s better not to jump on the foldable trend in the market without a finished product. So, while companies like Samsung, Huawei, and others have already established their names in the foldable segment, Oppo waited to perfect its product all these years.

During the development process, Oppo says that it has solved most of the issues of current foldable devices in the market to make it a top-notch smartphone. Furthermore, the company says that it has solved the crease and durability issues that make existing foldable phones flawed. Oppo claims that the Oppo Find N has“perhaps the best hinge and display designs available today.”Also, while you are at it, we suggest you check out this teaser for the Oppo Find N from Weibo:
