OPPO Find N3: Clearest and brightest

Built to last, styled to perfection

At the core of the Find N3 is OPPO’s third-generation Flexion Hinge. It’s smaller than its previous version yet more durable.

It comes with IPX4 splash resistance, and has been independently tested to last a million folds.

The phone’s three pro-grade cameras come with 14mm, 24mm, and 70mm equivalent focal lengths.

OPPO Find N3 Flip: Do more with less

It has an upgraded vertical cover screen supports the use of essential apps like Gmail, Wallet, Maps, Grab, Telegram, TikTok, X (Twitter), WeChat, WhatsApp, and more while closed.

The vertical screen also displays more notifications and quick settings so users can stay updated with just a glance.

The screen has the same orientation as the phone’s camera, so users can take selfies immediately without having to turn the phone or open it.

Incredible portraits

The Find N3 Flip’s triple-camera package features a 50MP wide, 48MP ultra-wide, and 32MP 3x zoom equivalent telephoto camera.

The main camera has a large sensor with f/1.8 aperture along with OIS to capture rich shots in detail while reducing noise even when taking photos under challenging conditions.

The Find N3 Flip is the only foldable with a telephoto camera to date, enabling users to capture subjects with optical 2x reach.

FlexForm mode

When semi-unfolded close to a 90-degree angle, the Find N3 Flip shall activate FlexForm Mode, which is ideal for having the phone sit on a surface while taking selfies, group shots, or videos.

The iPhone 18 might sell out for an unexpected reason

The ongoing shortage might play a part in the phone selling out earlier than expected.

An iPhone selling out is not news. Because of how popular the phones are, it’s within the realm of probability that Apple runs out of stock at some point. According to a new report, this year won’t be any different… but it’s for an entirely different reason.

First reported by analyst Tim Culpan, Apple is reportedly struggling to meet its demand for semiconductors for the iPhone 18 and the foldable iPhone. The ongoing memory shortage is cutting off Apple’s ability to deliver the required supply of smartphones in a timely fashion. The report even claims that TSMC, which helps produce the iPhone, is sitting on a shipment of processors, worth US$ 1 billion, that don’t have memory chips.

Now, Apple is still confident that it can weather the launch. However, if the shortage persists, the iPhone 18 generation will likely sell out much more quickly than expected.

It’s an interesting time for Apple to experience such a shortage. It’s been heavily rumored that the company will launch its very first foldable phone next month, creating a new market for the brand. Apple definitely wants this attempt to succeed after the tepid response to its last new product, the Vision Pro.
