When you look at devices like the Oppo Find N2 and Find N2 Flip with a 400,000-fold rating, when considering Samsung’s massive head start, you might start to wonder whether it’s even trying. However, we’d caution against making such apples-to-apples comparisons, even between devices that look and function so similarly.
For one, you have to consider the engineering goals between the two. Samsung has long pushed the bar for sleekness, always making a point to try and get its phones as thin as possible.
When we compare the difference between the original Galaxy Z Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s thickest points — 16mm and 15.8mm, respectively — we can see that it hasn’t been able to move the needle much. But with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 rumored to be no thicker than 14mm, this can impact its potential durability dramatically, even if Samsung has made ample structural improvements.
Back to the Oppo comparison, the Find N2 is coming in at 16mm thick, which doesn’t sound like a sizable difference on paper, but you’d likely notice it with both phones in hand.
We also don’t know what Oppo considers a respectable threshold for durability at that 400,000 mark — is that normal wear and tear for the hinge to lose just a fraction of its strength, or is that literally its breaking point? We can’t answer that today, but that won’t stop competitors from using such a big gap as a prime selling point.
