Oppo’s Find N3 was announced in October, and we had the opportunity to review this large foldable device last month. Additionally, we spent a few days with the phone while traveling around Europe, and we were pleased to see that the Find’s camera proved to be a mighty fine companion, whether it was capturing the sunny streets of Seville or the hustle and bustle of cloudy Paris.
The Find N3’s camera system is headlined by a new Sony imager, the LYT-808, which is part of Sony’s new LYTIA lineup, benefiting from the latest stacked architecture for improved light-gathering capabilities. While we didn’t particularly test it in the bright Andalusian sun, it excelled in dynamic range in the often very contrasty scenes we encountered, with vibrant colors capturing the atmosphere of the city.
In Paris, where color was harder to find due to overcast weather, the Find N3’s main camera once again demonstrated its ability to handle difficult lighting conditions. The 50mm equivalent focal length, a popular choice for street photography, allowed us to capture detailed shots, demonstrating the camera’s versatility.
The 3x telephoto lens saw the most action, capturing finely detailed 16MP shots with next to no noise, making for very appealing compositions. The telephoto capability allowed us to focus on specifics instead of vistas, but we also appreciated the ultrawide camera’s extreme coverage and distorted perspectives in various shooting situations.
Overall, the Find N3 proved to be a versatile travel camera phone, covering all types of shooting situations across a wide range of focal lengths with minimal compromise. However, its price tag carries a foldable premium that may be a consideration for potential buyers.
