The world's best selling foldable smartphone form factor is the flip style. Oppo has joined the fray on the global 💋 scale this year with the international launch of the Find N2 Flip - a device that's very obviously meant to 💋 compete head-on with Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip4, the latest iteration in the world's best selling foldable line. If you're having 💋 any doubts, just look at them - the Find N2 Flip is so similar-looking to its Samsung-made counterpart that even 💋 their purple colorways are almost identical.
With all that in mind, we decided to review both of these long-term, but there 💋 won't be two separate long-term reviews - they're just so similar to each other that we thought a better option 💋 would be to create our first ever comparative long-term review. So it's the Galaxy Z Flip4 vs. Find N2 Flip 💋 all the way.
We'll go through all the usual sections, focusing on the same things we usually do in long-term reviews 💋 - it's just that, in this case, there will be two phones to talk about instead of one, and we'll 💋 let you know how they directly compare in each area, as well as which one 'wins' a specific category in 💋 our subjective view. There will be no 'final score' however, as the point isn't to say one of these is 💋 better than the other - they both have their strengths and weaknesses, and we want to stress which those are 💋 so that, if you're looking to purchase a device in this form factor, you can make an informed decision.
It's been 💋 fun alternating between the Galaxy Z Flip4 (which from now on we'll refer to as "Flip4") and the Find N2 💋 Flip ("N2 Flip" from now on, for our sanity's sake), and even using them side by side at times, just 💋 to get a better feeling of how they are similar and how they are different. Quick spoiler: they are indeed 💋 very close in some areas, but also perhaps surprisingly far from each other in some important ways. We'll get to 💋 all of that in the next few pages of this review, so why don't you join us?
