OPPO Find N3 Flip officially available in PH, priced

ItSince the launch of the groundbreaking Find N2 Flip earlier this year, OPPO has continued to create technologies that disrupt the industry and inspire creativity among its users.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip set the standard of what flip phones should be in terms of design, performance, and overall user experience. It featured OPPO’s renowned Flexion Hinge which significantly decreased the appearance of  a crease on the inner display, making it more seamless without compromising quality.

The large vertical cover screen changed the game in terms of accessibility while the industry-leading charging and long-lasting battery reinforced OPPO’s dedication to produce exceptional products in the market.

OPPO has once again elevated the game with the introduction of its highly-anticipated, next generation flip phone, the Find N3 Flip.

“OPPO made an undeniable impact in the foldable smartphone market with the OPPO Find N2 Flip. Now, the successor is here–the OPPO Find N3 Flip,” said Joanarc Sales, Head of Public Relations and CRM of OPPO Philippines. “The new Find N3 Flip takes things a step further in design, imaging, and technological innovations, making it truly the gold standard of flagship flip phones.”

Major improvements of the Find N3 Flip include a revamped triple camera system, still co-created with Hasselblad technology and significant upgrades to the vertical cover screen’s app compatibility and interactivity.

It also comes in a more elegant build and stylish color options, boasts flagship performance and OPPO’s signature long-lasting battery capacity and fast-charging features.

Refined Aesthetics and Outstanding Display with Every Flip

Prioritizing style should never come at the expense of comfort. The OPPO Find N3 Flip is wrapped in precision-cut glass and metal, giving it a more premium look and feel.

It maintains the same 6.8-inch Full HD+ AMOLED inner screen with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and an impressive brightness level of 1,200, peaking at 1,600 nits.

With 1440Hz PWM dimming, it provides a vibrant, smooth, and comfortable usage experience.

Get the most out of your content with the OPPO Find N3 Flip’s expansive, uninterrupted, unfolded display. The brand’s innovative Flexion Hinge incorporated in the newest flip phone elegantly shapes the screen into a perfect water droplet when closed, resulting in a more subtle crease angle.

It also makes the crease look shallower, narrower, and less conspicuous, appearing almost invisible from various angles. And with TÜV Rheinland Reliable Folding certification, Find N3 Flip has been independently tested to withstand 600,000 folds, the equivalent of more than 16 years of use if you fold your phone 100 times a day.

One of the key design upgrades to highlight is the Cosmos Ring and Starlight Track, which elevates the camera system’s visual appeal and functionality.

The phone comes in captivating colors to match one’s personal style: Cream Gold and Sleek Black.

Industry-First Triple Camera System on a Flip co-created with Hasselblad

The OPPO Find N3 Flip’s camera reinvents flip phone photography as it is the first to have a triple camera system, the first telephoto camera on a flip phone, and the first flip phone to feature larger camera sensors.

Powered by imaging expert Hasselblad, the remarkable 50MP Wide-Angle primary camera with Sony IMX890 sensor, 48MP Ultra-Wide Camera with Sony IMX581 sensor, and the 32MP Portrait Camera with Sony IMX709 sensor of the Find N3 Flip produces the most vibrant, lifelike images in great detail.

It also features a 32MP Front Camera supported by Sony IMX709 RGBW with a 1/2.74-inch sensor that can capture subjects with impressive focal length.

With all these, the OPPO Find N3 Flip has the most powerful imaging systems with higher megapixel cameras, larger sensors, and superior photo capabilities compared to other flip phones in the market to-date.

This year’s addition of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) elevates its performance in challenging environments, ensuring excellent noise suppression and fine detail retention in photos.

Experience this camera’s vibrant yet natural color rendering and extensive dynamic range, ensuring consistent performance across lighting scenarios.

Capture selfies effortlessly by previewing your shot on the cover screen and using a convenient palm gesture for hands-free, pro-level 2X zoom portraits when the phone rests on a surface.

Folding the device partially switches to the FlexForm Mode on the main display, relocating the preview to the top half and camera controls to the bottom, making it perfect for stable tripod shots.

Improved Functionality on the Intuitive Vertical Cover Screen

The cover of the OPPO Find N3 Flip features an impressive 3.26-inch vertical cover screen which provides a convenient platform to view up to six notifications at once and facilitates seamless selfie-taking.

The device’s cover screen now extends its support to even more third-party apps, expanding beyond the mini apps introduced in the OPPO Find N2 Flip. With this expansion, popular social media apps like Reddit, Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), WeChat, and WhatsApp are harmoniously integrated into the user experience.

Responding to messages and emails or scrolling through your favorite apps is made easier.

A wider variety of options to access one’s most-used tools is also introduced in the new OPPO Find N3 Flip cover screen. Evolving beyond the card-style interactions of its predecessor, the device now adopts a more familiar application tray. It lets users easily swipe, rearrange, and launch their preferred apps and widgets intuitively.

Reliable Performance and Battery Life Fit for a Flagship Flip

Equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 chipset, the Find N3 Flip guarantees superior performance that allows seamless switching between apps, indulging in top-tier gaming, and editing 4K videos without any lagging time.

The new Flip from OPPO is crafted with IPX4 water resistance and unique dual-friction plates to ensure smooth usage and durability for years to come.

With its new aircraft-grade stainless steel core, the OPPO Find N3 Flip achieves exceptional durability, featuring a 25% improvement in load-bearing strength.

With a high-capacity 4300 mAh battery, the OPPO Find N3 Flip allows users to enjoy all-day use without the worry of charging so frequently. The 44W SUPERVOOC fast charging capabilities swiftly replenish its battery from 0 to 58% in just 30 minutes.

HONOR 90 Lite: How is it different from the HONOR 90?

09/28/2023

Right on the heels of the HONOR 90 5G, HONOR Philippines has just announced that its Lite variant will now also be available.

Priced at PhP X12,990, the HONOR 90 Lite comes in as the more conservative pick. As of writing, pre-orders are ongoing and come with additional freebies. But as to what you’re getting (or not getting) with this more affordable variant, that’s what we’ll be finding out.

Design and display

Let’s work from the outside in. The difference in design between the two variants is quite obvious. HONOR wanted to give the 90 Lite its own identity by giving it a different look from its bigger brother.

Unlike the HONOR 90 5G, the 90 Lite 5G opts for hard, flat edges. While I find the grip better on the non-Lite mode, the 90 Lite still provides a pretty comfortable in-hand feel.

The next most obvious difference is the design of the camera module. Placement remains the same but on the HONOR 90 Lite 5G we have a Dual Ring camera module that’s supposedly jewelry-inspired.

We also have only two colors available for the HONOR 90 Lite – Cyan Lake and Midnight Black. We have the Cyan Lake colorway with us and compared to the HONOR 90 in Midnight Black, it’s much more fingerprint-resistant thanks to the matte finish.

On the display front, both boast large 6.7-inch screens. With the HONOR 90 Lite, however, you are getting an LCD, 90Hz refresh rate, and Full HD+ resolution. It also doesn’t have an in-display fingerprint reader but you are given face unlock and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner as security options.

Internals, performance, battery

Another area of compromise on the HONOR 90 Lite is its processor. It comes in a single configuration with a MediaTek Dinemsity 6020 5G chip at its heart and is supported by 8GB of RAM. At its price, the HONOR 90 Lite’s 256GB internal storage also becomes a highlight.

Now, while not as high-performing as the HONOR 90 5G, the Lite variant still proves its mettle. Everyday tasks like browsing social media or checking emails are easy to knock out. No problems surfaced either when doing light photo and video editing and casual gaming is also possible.

Heavy gaming isn’t its strong suit with Genshin Impact dropping a few frames now and then but others I’ve tried like Mobile Legends and Pokemon Unite didn’t struggle even when playing for a a good while.

For its OS, the HONOR 90 Lite similarly runs MagicOS 7.1 based on Android 13 so you’re getting the same UI experience here.
Another aspect of this phone that’s gone ‘Lite’ is the battery. Compared to its big brother, the HONOR 90 Lite ships with a slightly smaller 4500mAh battery and no SuperCharge support.

In using it, however, we’ve found that the battery could last a full day even when you’re not using it too conservatively. You will need to charge by the day’s end, though, and it’ll take you more than an hour to completely fill up with its 35W charger.

Cameras

The HONOR 90 5G wowed many with its 200-megapixel camera. With the HONOR 90 Lite, you are getting fewer megapixels but still getting quite a lot.

Offering a 100-megapixel shooter, the HONOR 90 Lite 5G carries on providing high-quality photography tools at an accessible price. Accompanying the primary camera are a 5-megapixel wide and depth, and a 2-megapixel macro.

Out of curiosity, I decided to pit the HONOR 90’s 200-megapixel camera with the HONOR 90 Lite’s 100-megapixel camera.

With the two photos side by side, the compromise is noticeable but both cameras did produce good photos in their own right. The most obvious difference is the level of detail the 200-megapixel shooter on the HONOR 90 produces but the HONOR 90 Lite doesn’t fall too far behind, especially when you consider its price.

HONOR 90 Lite > HONOR 90

Of course, this was taken in bright light which helps a lot in producing a cleaner photo.

HONOR 90 Lite > HONOR 90

Switch to low-light and, you’ll see the power of the higher megapixel camera. Details are sharper and the overall image is cleaner.

HONOR 90 Lite > HONOR 90

For selfies, the HONOR 90 Lite comes with 16-megapixel front-facing camera. Selfies come out clean and with a good amount of detail; the quality is what you’d expect from this kind of camera.

The only other major downside of the cameras of the HONOR 90 Lite is the lack of 4K video recording. While probably not an essential for most, it’s an often looked-for feature and possibly a deal-breaker for some.

If you’re able to look past that though, you’re getting a pretty capable rear shooter with that 100-megapixel lens and it comes in as a good deal given the price of the device.

Final thoughts

When I think of HONOR devices, I think of affordable but capable devices built for the everyday user. And that stays true with the HONOR 90 Lite.

The HONOR 90 5G is already an affordable offering as it is but if you need something that’s just lower down the ladder, the HONOR 90 Lite could be a contender. Appropriately called ‘Lite’, this device offers a similar experience to its bigger brother but with some compromises that aren’t too surprising given its segment.
