be just a little bit wider while still being usable and that means one you can still use the front NUMBER_TOKENp ish screen almost as if it was just a normal phone it is a little bit wonky looking and i did think it was weird to start with that one side of the screen is flat while the other is curved but having used it i'm pretty glad it's like that because it makes navigation gestures just way more pleasant than if it was a sharp cut off and two is that the second you unfold it it is still squarish but because it's wider than it is tall you're automatically in landscape mode ready to consume media and hey if you like consuming my media then a sub to the channel would be opportune but it's not just that they're making good decisions when it comes to the hardware i wasn't expecting how fleshed out the course software would be see when i first got this phone there wasn't a single leaked photo on the entire internet no one knew what this was which is rarely the case just before a consumer-ready phone launches and so i just assumed oh it'll be some sort of internal prototype concept device but no the software experience makes it clear that this is a phone oppo spent a long time planning for as it turns out even though this is technically their first ever foldable they told me they've spent the last four years making six other foldable phones this is just the first one that they thought good enough to release so either they're extremely good at keeping leaks or well or no one cares but what i'm trying to say here is that while the phone is first generation the internally developed first party software has clearly been in the works for a while i did notice two instances where words were cut off in the ui but apart from that it is fast smooth and tactile the camera interface makes really good use of the space provided the live wallpapers that open up proportional to how much the phone is open are delightful and the split screen multitasking is handled greatly you feel like you're literally playing fruit ninja something like that i can't believe i actually did that didn't realize it would squirt so much and then the final cornerstone of the find n is its price now because this phone is being launched in china only for now the only pricing info that i have is that it will be less than NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN reminbi which i realize is not a hugely useful figure given that no one watching is from china i think but it's useful for context because we do know that samsung zNUMBER_TOKEN is about NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN. so assuming that oppo does one day launch their foldables globally i think there's a pretty good chance that they will actually undercut samsung i should probably put this knife away okay all that great stuff aside there's three reasons that i don't think oppo's quite nailed it yet and contrary to the marketing these are significant enough reasons that i don't think this is the phone that will change foldables from novelty to necessity a big one being that even more so than its competition i think this is a novelty like why does someone buy a foldable phone it's so that they can either have a huge screen that can be folded into a normal phone form factor or a
