Let’s check out their specifications and see how they can compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 phones –
Design:
Find N2
The competitor Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, Oppo Find N2 is 14.6mm thick when closed and 7.4mm when opened. The company used an anodized metal frame to build the phone and offered three different color variants, including black, matte white, and minty green.
Find N2 Flip
Oppo Find N2 Flip is the company’s first clamshell foldable smartphone. It comes with flat-ish sides and a large vertical cover display on the outside. Although the cover display is much larger than Galaxy Z Flip 4, it offers fewer functionalities like notification browsing and acting as a camera viewfinder for both the front and rear cameras.
Display:
Find N2
The device comes with a 5.54-inch external AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2120 × 1080. It has an aspect ratio of 17.7:9, which is much shorter and wider than the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Whereas the inner display is 7.1-inch LTPO AMOLED and that too features a 120Hz refresh rate but with 1920 × 1792 pixels resolution and a 9:8.4 aspect ratio.
Find N2 Flip
This new Oppo clamshell foldable features a 6.8-inch main AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3.2-inch cover panel. The cover display has a 60Hz refresh rate, and it’s an OLED panel as well.
Processor:
Find N2
The phone is equipped with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, the same as the competitor Galaxy Z Fold 4. It comes with either 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM along with 256GB and 512GB of UFS 3.1 flash storage, respectively.
Find N2 Flip
Under the hood, this phone has a MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC, unlike the Find N2. This is paired with either 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB or 512GB of internal storage.

The Chinese company has launched the device with a 4,520mAh battery that supports 67W fast wired charging. Oppo claims it can fully charge in only 42 minutes.
Find N2 Flip
Oppo has installed a 4,300mAh battery on this device that supports 44W fast charging. However, it is not capable to charge wirelessly.
Software:
Both new Oppo foldable phones come pre-installed with the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 software. Whereas, the Galaxy Z Fold 4, currently running Android 13 One UI 5.0, was launched with Android 12L-based One UI 4.1.1 and it was a plus point for Galaxy users as Android 12L has various large-screen specified features that you might not see in Oppo Find N2.

Samsung Galaxy S25 CAD Render (Source – Androidheadlines)
Disclaimer: These Samsung Galaxy S25 specifications are gathered from leaks, rumors, and previous flagships. However, none of these cannot be confirmed as 100% accurate.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Price
Samsung Galaxy S25 5G should start at $800 in the United States. The price leaks and rumors aren’t out yet. However, the industry speculates a slight increase due to Qualcomm’s pricey 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Release Date
The Galaxy S25 series could be announced early next year. The company officially confirmed at its earnings call that the new Galaxy S will be released in the second half. You can expect the new flagships to be available by February 2025.
Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy leak reveals the nearly final design of Samsung’s next big flagship. After CAD renders, we now have a closer look at the refined new design of the Ultra flagship, which will give sleepless nights to Apple.
Onleaks posted a set of Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models. The flagship can be seen with its refined design, which makes the corner slightly rounded. The Z Fold6-inspired camera rings also elevate the rear panel’s appearance, making it appealing.
There are three major changes in the body design of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship. The first is the frame, which is getting flatter like the iPhone. Second is rounded corners, that are not that rounded like S24/S25, and third is textured camera rings.
Notably, the dummy units don’t show a close look at the bezels. However, this aspect is expected to be improved over the previous generations. Minimal symmetrical bezels will present an appealing look on the phone’s front side.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is slimmer than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S Pen compartment resists on the frame’s bottom, accompanied by the primary microphone, USB C-Type port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray.
The right side of the frame features volume adjustment buttons and a side key. The power button can be configured to trigger a digital assistant. The fingerprint scanner will be featured as an in-screen solution with faster and more reliable recognition.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year.
A new patent suggests Samsung working on next-gen camera tech that could save battery and crush lens process noise. The company has recently unveiled the All Lenses on Prism telephoto solution for thinner and sleeker zoom cameras.
Since smartphone camera modules get more advanced, a lot of processing power is required to finish the tasks. That said, Samsung is crafting even more advanced camera modules that save battery and reduce noise.
Enter Samsung’s new patent, which introduces a power-saving sub-processor. This clever little chip would handle all the extra camera tasks—like reducing noise from the OIS lens movements and managing the EIS algorithms.
It will reduce the burden of the main processor so it can focus on the actual photo-taking. At the time your device is in a sleep or power-saving state, the sub-processor keeps running quietly in the background, consuming minimal power.
If the technology is used, you will have less noise in camera operations, smoother performance, and better battery life. At the same time, you won’t lose your favorite camera features, but your smartphone will last longer between charges.
A look ahead
The development shows Samsung’s innovative approach. Other than upgrading camera sensors, the company is also working on improvements to the technology that works behind the scenes and makes a great impact on performance and efficiency.
Samsung often registers new patent applications to secure designs and innovations. However, it’s uncertain that a patented technology would surely be commercialized. Tech firms have thousands of approved patents that never get produced.
