Display Comparison

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 takes the display crown with its measured 1000 nits peak brightness, offering significantly better visibility in direct sunlight. Both devices claim 'infinite' contrast ratios, which is a nominal term, but the Z Fold4's brightness advantage is undeniable. The Find N's display is still excellent, but lacks the Z Fold4's punch.

Camera Comparison

Both phones offer capable camera systems, but detailed camera comparisons require more in-depth testing. Generally, Samsung's image processing is more consistent and versatile, offering a wider range of shooting modes and features. The Find N's camera is no slouch, but may not match the Z Fold4's overall quality.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in the Galaxy Z Fold4 provides a noticeable performance boost over the Snapdragon 888 in the Find N. Apps launch faster, multitasking is smoother, and demanding games run with greater ease. While the Find N is still capable, the Z Fold4's chipset offers a more future-proof experience.

Battery Life

The Galaxy Z Fold4 secures a slight win in battery endurance, boasting a 101h rating compared to the Find N's 90h. While both offer all-day battery life for moderate usage, the Z Fold4 provides a bit more breathing room. Charging speeds are also a factor, with the Z Fold4 offering faster wired charging (25W vs 33W) despite the Find N's slightly faster charging times in the provided data.

Buying Guide

The Oppo Find N is ideal for users who want a more pocketable foldable with a focus on design and a slightly more affordable price point. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is best suited for power users who demand top-tier performance, a brighter display, and Samsung's mature software ecosystem.
