The Oppo Find N3 is designed for people on the go. These days, the demand for work requires people to be flexible, mobile, connected, and adaptable wherever they may be. Foldable smartphones offer a wonderful balance between size and accessibility, but its novelty is slightly undermined by its often-compromised features, such as cameras and battery power. The OPPO Find N3 proves that such compromises don’t need to exist. Made in collaboration with Hasselblad, the phone has three cameras to provide sharp images and incredible colour imaging. Meticulously designed and engineered to break the ceiling for foldable smartphones, the Find N3 seeks to realise the potential of foldable smartphones as the ultimate device, enabling PC-level productivity.

 The Oppo Find N3 and Find N3 Flip are available online and in store, retailing at RM 4,399 for the Flip and RM7,999 for the Fold.
