The wait is over. OPPO Philippines’ newest clamshell foldable, the OPPO Find N3 Flip, is now available at select OPPO authorized offline concept stores, e-commerce, and multi-brand shops nationwide, and through operators, formally offering to the country innovations such as a more premium design, an improved functionality of the cover screen, and of course, the first triple camera system on a flip.

(Update, December 6: Our OPPO Find N3 Flip review is up!)

Sophisticated aesthetics with every flip

The OPPO Find N3 Flip represents a harmony of style and functionality. The brand calls it “an instant style accessory,” with the ability to effortlessly add a pop of elegance to your OOTDs. And we agree.

The Cream Gold color variant, in particular, stands out with its eye-catching design and “flowing wave” texture. The Sleek Black model, on the other hand, flaunts a sophisticated, near-mirror finish, lending an understated elegance that transcends most flagship-smartphone trends.

Familiar but better cover screen

The 3.26-inch cover screen from the OPPO Find N2 Flip returns, but now it comes preloaded with more useful features, including native support for Google services and third-party apps such as X (formerly Twitter), WeChat, Whatsapp, and Reddit. It also offers more intuitive controls, along with Quick Reply and speech-to-text options.

You get more customizable widgets, plus a diverse set of mini apps to pin to the cover screen and make it more personal. The outer display also upgrades to Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for improved protection against accidental drops.

Outstanding performance from cover to inner screen

But the biggest visual treat comes from the inner folding display, which measures 6.8 inches across, runs at up to 120Hz, and incorporates an anti-reflection film for reducing glare.

And thanks to OPPO’s enhanced Flexion Hinge, the Find N3 Flip achieves a gapless fold. There’s virtually no crease where the phone closes either. Perhaps more impressively, the hinge is supposedly durable enough to last over 600,000 folds — which translates to more than 16 years if you fold your Find N3 Flip 100 times per day.

Not to be outdone by regular flagships, OPPO’s latest flip phone promises industry-leading performance as well, thanks to the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9200 5G chip paired with 12GB of physical RAM under the hood. And charging the 4,300mAh battery is not a hassle with the company’s 44-watt SUPERVOOC charging standard. This allows the Find N3 Flip to go from 0% to 58% in just 30 minutes plugged in.

Game-changing triple-camera setup co-engineered with Hasselblad

Like its predecessor, the OPPO Find N3 Flip further ups the ante in the foldable segment with an even better camera system co-engineered with Hasselblad. It adds a 32-megapixel telephoto camera with a Sony IMX709 image sensor and 2x optical zoom on the rear and upgrades the previous-gen model’s 8-megapixel secondary camera to an ultrawide with a much sharper 48-megapixel sensor. The telephoto option, in particular, is a first for flip phones.

Price, payment options, and perks for the Philippine market

The OPPO Find N3 Flip in Cream Gold and Sleek Black retails at P64,999 (around $1,162 converted) for the variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

You can purchase the new Flip with Globe’s GPlan 1499 or Smart’s Plan 1999, with a one-time device payment of P34,000 ($607) if you get the unit from Globe.

The OPPO Find N3 Flip is also available on Home Credit, with the lowest monthly payment coming in at P1,676 ($30), on top of local credit cards that offer zero-interest payment options up to 12 months.

If you’d rather buy it on Shopee, Lazada, or TikTok Shop, you’re in luck: You’ll get a free OPPO Enco Air3 worth P3,999 ($72) and OPPO Band2 valued at P3,999 with every purchase. Plus, you can enjoy free shipping and flexible payment options with 0% interest through SPayLater or LazPayLater.

Now, if you’re a MyOPPO app user, you can redeem exclusive perks with every purchase of the foldable.
