In daylight, the main camera of the Oppo Find N2 Flip captures good photos. Detail is fairly good, dynamic range is decent, and close-up shots are sharp and well-defined. Colours overall are also quite accurate. The ultra-wide camera on the other hand is a bit weak on detail and colours tend to look bleak.
Low-light images shot with the main camera look lively, with vivid colours and good exposure since the app automatically captures long-exposure shots. Details are fairly good even when magnified. The ultra-wide camera struggles to match the colours and exposure of the main camera, producing strictly passable pictures, that too provided there’s enough ambient lighting. In very dim lighting, even Night mode fails to deliver any redeemable results.

The selfie camera can capture good results in daylight. Portrait mode mode works very well too and the results are pleasing. Selfies captured in low light look decent but skin tones are a bit of a hit or miss.
Coming to video recording, the Oppo Find N2 Flip can shoot at up to 4K 30fps. In daylight, video quality and stabilisation are both good. Low-light videos tend to look heavily processed with weaker details and a bit of grain. The ultra-wide camera can only capture video at up to 1080p, just like the selfie camera, but the quality is much weaker than that of the main camera in the day and in low light.
Verdict
The Oppo Find N2 Flip is a pretty strong first attempt at a vertically folding phone, and in many ways offers stiff competition to Samsung. The more practical outer display, faster charging, and higher resolution primary camera are some of the main reasons to consider it over the Galaxy Z Flip 4. You also get more storage, as the 256GB variant of Samsung’s Flip is priced higher.
However, I can’t ignore two big features that are missing from Oppo’s offering: an official IP rating and wireless charging. The ultra-wide camera is also a bit underwhelming, and I don’t think the outer display is being utilised to its full potential yet. Still, the launch of the Oppo Find N2 Flip in India means that buyers finally have a choice, and that’s always a good thing.
