The OPPO Find N3 has shed its outdated aesthetic and gained a caution slider in a questionable new leak

In 2023, OPPO is expected to rebrand its third-generation foldable flagship smartphone as the “OnePlus V Fold,” according to a new leak. It’s a flowchart with what could be a signature element for the company, although the advice has several flaws.

In light of OnePlus’s declaration that it plans to release its first foldable device later in 2023, many have speculated that it would be OPPO’s Find N3. A flexible primary display smartphone that combines the best of both businesses’ offerings is depicted in this schematic, which may lend credence to the previously-stated assumption.

The image in question purports to show the “Find N3,” which supposedly has a tactile alert slider on one side and what appear to be a power button and volume rocker on the other. The speculation that it will be released in other countries as the “V Fold” stems from its design.

The “N3” appears to have lower bezels on its cover display and rear panel than the “N2,” another shorter-than-average foldable, in order to provide more spacious viewing on both of its panels. It also appears to feature a small circular cutout in one of the corners of the back that, despite seeming like a punch-hole selfie camera, is likely the flash that is too large to fit into the Hasselblad logo on the top of the camera.

While this fresh leak seems credible at first glance (after all, the Vivo X Fold also has an alert slider), its original source, Digital Chat Station, has just retracted it and removed it from their Weibo account.
