Oppo has a new set of foldables with some interesting designs: Meet the Oppo Find N2 and the Oppo Find N2 Flip. Just like Samsung's lineup, these are big and small foldable phones, but both offer something unique.

First up, the Oppo Find N2 is the company's flagship foldable. It's a phone that opens up into a tablet for 7,999 yuan (about $1,147). This one is a China-only release for now, but there's always a chance Oppo's sister company, OnePlus, makes good on all its teasing and jumps into the foldables market with a similar design.

We should talk about the dimensions of this phone first because they are very different. When folded up, the phone is 132.2 mm×72.6 mm×14.6 mm. That's a normal width, but the phone is extremely short. The 132 mm height makes the Find N2 as tall as an iPhone 13 Mini. The short height explains the 120Hz, 5.54-inch front OLED display. I don't know if it's right to call this "small" since at 72.6 mm wide, it's still as wide as a normal smartphone, but it's a unique form factor.
