We’ve been waiting for years to see drastic innovation in the smartphone industry, and we got one with the introduction of foldable smartphones.
We’ve seen different foldable form-factors in the last few years, but there’s one that really picked the interest of the mainstream market: flip phones.
After a couple of iterations, we’re now seeing flip smartphones that are more mature, practical, and not just a gimmick. Today, we’ll be comparing two of the most popular options to see which one is better.
So, without further ado, check out the OPPO Find N3 Flip and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 specs and features comparison below.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 sure has a more striking look thanks to its larger cover display. It also uses a more reliable Qualcomm processor, has a wireless charging option, sturdier glass, and a brighter main display.
On the other, the OPPO Find N3 Flip has a vertical cover display with a better camera setup — which could possibly be the best on any Flip phone today.
In addition, the flagship MediaTek processor can easily compete with Qualcomm’s in terms of daily tasks and even heavy gaming, paired with a generous 12GB of RAM (vs 8GB), a bigger 4,300mAh battery, and much faster 44W charging.
But which of the two can best cater to your needs and preferences? Would you go with the Galaxy Z Flip5 for its Qualcomm processor and horizontal cover display? Or get the Find N3 Flip for its best-in-class cameras, bigger battery, and faster charging? Let us know in the comments below.
