How OPPO perfected its vertical cover screen
A smartphone experience from the cover
The OPPO Find N3 Flip features an overhauled cover screen experience as the company opted for a vertical orientation on its latest flagship foldable instead of focusing on just its size.
As a result, the Find N3 Flip’s impressive cover screen has led to improved usability and camera performance.
Mirroring the smartphone experience
While it is true that the cover screen of the Find N3 Flip is smaller than its predecessor’s 3.26-inch screen, the latest device mirrors the smartphone experience right from the cover, without having to open it in full.
Users can access an apps menu right from the cover screen, making it easier to swipe from left to right to open them.
When opening notifications, the vertical screen also displays more content to keep users updated on the go.
Additionally, OPPO has made it possible for up to three dynamic widgets that can be quickly accessed from the screen, like camera, voice notes, weather, or even a shortcut to a messaging app.
Support for third-party apps
Aside from basic apps, OPPO has upgraded its cover display for the Find N3 Flip so that it can support majority of Android apps.
The list includes Google Maps, Keep, and Gmail, which can all be used right from the cover screen.
Popular social media apps for short-form video and short-form posting service can also be used without having to unfold the Find N3 Flip.
Even car-hailing services and food delivery apps can be accessed from the front display for one’s convenience.
Seamless selfie experience
Lastly, the Find N3 Flip’s camera has the same orientation as its vertical screen, so users can preview selfies in real-time without much cropping.
This way, they can expect the photos to come out virtually the same way it’s been taken on the front cover camera.
Changing to a vertical cover screen also paved the way for a larger camera package, as the Find N3 Flip has world’s first triple camera system on a flip phone and the largest sensor across the three shooters.
Price, availability
The OPPO Find N3 Flip is priced at PhP 64,999 in selected authorized stores and in online ecommerce stores like Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok.
Customers may get a free Enco Air 3 and Band 2 for each purchase of the Find N3 Flip online.
Globe and Smart also offer the foldable on selected plans starting at PhP 1,499 with a one-time cash out.

What your smartphone color choice reveals about you
Eight colors, eight personalities. Here’s how to pick.
Your phone color says more than you think. With the Pixel 11 series, Google’s giving you eight ways to make that statement, and there’s genuinely one for every kind of person.
Hibiscus
You’re never the quiet one in the room. Hibiscus doesn’t ask for attention; it just takes it, and if that sounds like you, you’re probably not planning to start hiding now. This is the pick for anyone who’d rather stand out than blend in.
Pistachio
You’re the one who remembers everyone’s coffee order. Pistachio is soft and easy; the one whom people gravitate toward without quite knowing why. It doesn’t try hard to be liked. It just is.
Frost
You like things a little too organized. Frost means clean lines and a clear head, the color equivalent of a camera roll with zero mess in it. If your notes app has color-coded folders, this one’s calling your name.
Obsidian
You let the work speak for itself. No flash needed, because when you show up, the room adjusts anyway. Obsidian is the classic choice, the one that’s never trying too hard because it doesn’t have to.
Canyon
You’re the one who suggests the sunset drive. Canyon is warm and a little restless, always chasing golden hour whether or not anyone else is up for it. Available on the Pro and Pro XL, it’s built for people who treat every evening like it might be a good one.
Olive
You’re outdoorsy, but you’ll still show up looking put together. Olive is low-key and grounded, the one who doesn’t try too hard because it’s already comfortable in its own skin. Another Pro and Pro XL exclusive.
Fog
You’re hard to read, and you like it that way. Fog is understated on purpose, a Pro and Pro XL colorway for anyone who’d rather keep people guessing.
So, which one’s you?
Eight colors, three phones, one very personal decision. Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL goes on sale starting August 20 — with Pistachio, Hibiscus, Frost, and Obsidian on the base model; and Canyon, Fog, Olive, and Obsidian on the Pro line.
Which one’s calling your name?
Today, Google launched three different flavors of the Pixel 11 series. If three levels of flatness aren’t enough, the series has a fourth option for you: a new and improved Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
Like the rest of the series, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is lighter than its predecessor. It’s almost 10 percent lighter and around 1mm thinner than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
For a foldable, it’s also Google’s most durable. The foldable has the new scratch-resistant Super Actua display, touting 3600nits of brightness. Plus, the rear has a new glass fiber composite back cover, which Google says is “nearly impossible to crack.” It also has IP68 dust and water resistance.
Inside, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with the new Tensor G6 chipset paired with 16GB of RAM.
For cameras, the foldable has the new 48-megapixel main sensor and a telephoto lens that touts up to 30x Super Zoom. The camera bar then comes in a smaller format on the top left corner of the rear.
Much like the regular phones, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with the new HiLight feature, a notification dot that lights up (and can be customized) whenever notifications pop up.
Finally, the foldable has faster wired charging, promising half of the battery’s capacity in only 30 minutes of charging time. It’s also 20 percent faster with 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging built inside.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes in two colorway options: Obsidian and Olive. It hits shelves in August 20.
