OPPO Find N2 Flip's Wins

Main Display Size and Resolution

The OPPO Find N2 Flip boasts a larger main display, measuring 6.8 inches compared to the Galaxy Z Flip5's 6.7 inches. This slightly larger screen size provides a more immersive viewing experience for multimedia content and productivity tasks. Additionally, the OPPO Find N2 Flip offers a higher resolution on its main display, with 1080 x 2520 pixels compared to the Galaxy Z Flip5's 1080 x 2640 pixels. The OPPO's display also has a 21:9 aspect ratio, making it ideal for widescreen content.

Main Rear/Cover Camera

The rear or cover camera module of the OPPO Find N2 Flip also outperforms the Galaxy Z Flip5 in terms of both resolution and sensor size. The OPPO boasts a 50 MP primary camera with a large 1/1.56" sensor, allowing for stunning photography and videography even in challenging lighting conditions. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip5's dual-camera setup includes a 12 MP primary shooter, which may not deliver the same level of image clarity and detail as the OPPO's higher-resolution 50MP camera.

Selfie Shooter

OPPO Find N2 Flip shines with its 32 MP selfie camera above the main display. This high-resolution front camera enables users to capture more detailed and larger selfies. In contrast, the Galaxy Z Flip5 features a 10 MP selfie camera, which obviously has a lower resolution compared to what's being offered by the OPPO foldable.

Battery Capacity and Fast Charging

OPPO Find N2 Flip takes the lead in the battery department with its larger 4,300 mAh battery capacity. This larger battery ensures longer usage time, ideal for heavy users or those who rely heavily on their smartphones throughout the day. Additionally, the OPPO's impressive 44W wired charging speed enables users to charge the phone to 50% in just 23 minutes, making it incredibly convenient for on-the-go charging.

In comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip5 features a 3,700 mAh battery and a 25W wired charging speed, offering a slightly slower charging experience than the OPPO Find N2 Flip.

Price

One significant advantage of the OPPO Find N2 Flip is its affordability despite being released four months before the Galaxy Z Flip5. At PHP 49,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant, the OPPO Find N2 Flip is far more budget-friendly compared to the Galaxy Z Flip5's PHP 64,990 price tag for the same memory configuration.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5's Strengths

While the OPPO Find N2 Flip excels in several aspects, it is essential to acknowledge the Galaxy Z Flip5's advantages. 

Build

The Samsung device features a more robust build while being thinner and lighter, thanks to its Armor aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 combo, supposedly providing additional drop and scratch resistance. Also, this shell is IPX8 Certified Water Resistant (up to 1.5 Meters for 30 Minutes), making the handset potentially less prone to water damage.

Cover Display

Moreover, the Galaxy Z Flip5 boasts a slightly larger cover display, measuring 3.4 inches compared to the OPPO's 3.26 inches, offering a more convenient way to access notifications and essential functions without unfolding the device.

Ultra-Wide Camera and Video Recording

In terms of imaging, the Galaxy Z Flip's secondary ultra-wide 12MP camera at the back has a wider 123˚ lens and higher resolution compared to OPPO Find N2 Flip's 8MP 112˚ camera. 

Also, the Selfie cam of the Galaxy Z Flip can record 4K videos versus FHD on the Find N2 Flip. Samsung's foldable likewise supports slo-mo HD recording at 960fps.

Processor

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5's 4nm 3.36GHz Octa-Core Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor (AnTutu 9 Score - 1282911) may deliver a slightly more powerful performance than the OPPO's 4nm 3.2GHz Octa-Core MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset (AnTutu 9 Score - 1150577) based on benchmark scores and rankings. Although, I must say that the Dimensity 9000+ processor remains an A+ Ranked mobile processor based on AnTutu Benchmark Score as of Q3 2023.

Storage Option

We should also note that Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 also comes in a 8GB + 512GB variant, offering users with double the storage capacity of the base model. However, this one also comes with a hefty price tag of PHP 71,990.

Summary

To wrap up, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 has its merits in terms of build quality, cover display, ultra-wide, video recording, and processor performance, the OPPO Find N2 Flip, launched four months prior, takes the lead in several essential aspects. The OPPO excels in display size, camera capabilities, battery capacity, charging speed, and affordability. Its larger main display, higher resolution selfie camera, larger battery, and faster charging speed make it a strong contender for users seeking a foldable smartphone with impressive features at a more affordable price.

Ultimately, the choice between the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and the OPPO Find N2 Flip will depend on individual preferences, priorities, and budget. Both devices offer unique features and innovations, catering to diverse user needs in the ever-evolving world of foldable smartphones.
