Default One year with a foldable phone: From innovation to irritation

Today, I’m writing on behalf of my wife — a relatively recent convert to the foldable phone clan after peering over my shoulders during many a review. She grabbed late 2022’s OPPO Find N2 Flip last year, but after just under twelve months with the phone, second thoughts are creeping in. The key reason — an increasingly flimsy hinge, leaving the top half of the phone flapping in the breeze.

OK, that might be a slight exaggeration; it’s more of a wobble rather than the display hanging off its hinges. It’s certainly not broken enough to try wrangling a warranty claim. But that’s no consolation when you’re being driven mad by a metronomic “click-clack-click” while the phone’s sat in the navigation dock. The once reassuring and satisfying snap open has been replaced by flimsiness and dread.
