The OPPO Find N6 launched globally on March 17, and I am very excited about this feature
OPPO hasn’t fared well in the last 15 months, and the Find X9 Pro continues to be my favorite Android phone. The brand is shifting gears to talk about its foldable plans, and the Find N6 is expected to launch globally on March 17. OPPO’s Find N5 is still going strong, and I’m excited to see what the N6 will bring.
Although OPPO is not sharing too many details at this time, the brand is touting the new Zero-Feel Crease panel as the main feature. If you’ve used book-style folding in the past, you’ll know that there’s a visible crease in the middle – there’s no way to avoid that because of the hinge. Well, OPPO says the Find N6 will come with a crease that won’t be visible in everyday use, and that’s a bold claim, which I’ll be testing as soon as I get my hands on the foldable.
AC’s Take
I’ve used all the big folding things, and it’s clear that the Chinese manufacturers do a better job with the hinge. If OPPO manages to deliver a foldable device with a design that doesn’t shrink, it will be a big investment, and it will be interesting to see how other brands fight the move.
The global launch means that the Find N6 will start appearing outside of China, but that doesn’t mean it will make it to western markets – we’ll have to wait until the launch to find out about global availability. Since I used the Find N5 a lot, I want to see how the N6 differs from last year’s foldables, and if it can make a reasonable display in Samsung’s foldable presence.
