"Find N" that appeared in the lower 100,000 yen range

　"Find N", released in China from OPPO, is a folding smartphone that opens the display sideways. Speaking of horizontal folding smartphones, Samsung's Fold series is a major one, and "Galaxy Z Fold3 5G" is on sale in countries including Japan. Find N has a price of 7698 yuan in China, about 134,000 yen, which is much cheaper than Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, which costs nearly 200,000 yen. However, the specifications are not dropped, and it is a high -spec product with high performance. The difference between the two people of the exterior of Find N and Galaxy Z Fold3 5G was also emphasized at the presentation of Find N, but when the main unit is opened, the Find N becomes a long display, and the same style as the tablet laid down. It can be used as it is. Opening both and arranging them, Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is certainly long vertical direction, and if you display photos and videos, you will not be able to display them on the full screen. However, if it is Find N, it can be used as a display of about 4: 3. The outer size of the display is 158.2 x 128.1mm for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, and 132.6 x 140.2mm for Find N. Find N has a slightly closer shape to a square. Therefore, the size when closed is 67.1mm width of Galaxy Z Fold3 5g, while Find N is 73mm. However, the iPhone 13 is 71.5mm wide, so Find N is not so thick. The thickness of the Find N is 15.9mm, and the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G has a gap, so the cross section when folded is "whale type (V -shaped)", and the thickness is 14.4 to 16mm. I felt that Galaxy Z Fold3 5g was a little better. The 5.49 -inch display size when closed is classified as a smaller smartphone. By the way, "BALMUDA PHONE", which became a hot topic, is a 4.9 -inch type. Find N is a hybrid terminal of "small smartphone" and "4: 3 7.1 tablet", and is slightly different from Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, "Slim vertically" and "Large display tablet than 7.6 type". It seems to be Find N may be able to see that Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is a model that is small. If you think so, you can understand that the price is cheap. However, as a UI (user interface) that effectively utilizes a large tablet screen when opened, I felt that Find N was easy to use. If you swipe down with two fingers from the display information while using the app, the app will be divided. If you pinch the app screen, the floating window will be displayed. The UI / operation of this tablet screen says that Google will make significant improvements on Android 12L. The fact that the Android tablet is more difficult to use than the iPad is that it is difficult to use a large screen, and Samsung also implements the UI using the sidebar in Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. It is said that Google has abandoned the development of folding smartphones, but not only folding smartphones, but the optimal UI of the tablet is that smartphone makers are developing one step ahead than Google. 。 By the way, when Find N was released in China, it was so popular that the first lot was sold out immediately. It may have been natural that it became popular because the price was low, the performance was high, and the product finish was good. There are many people who want to use it in Japan. In order to make Samsung's next folding smartphone better, I want you to expand overseas.
