Samsung's highest weight on a foldable came on the Galaxy Z Fold 2, which was 282 g, while the Fold 4 is down to 263 g. A normal big phone weighs around 220–240 grams. Normally, we wouldn't care too much about a phone's weight, but some foldables get so heavy that they're cumbersome to put in a pocket. The Find N2 is also super light for a foldable. Apps built for tablets are just not good enough for foldables. Google's tablet resurrection plans revolve around ultrawide 16:10 tablets, and those interfaces are cramped on the smaller square displays of foldables. The phone also reveals Android's dark secret: Even if you dig into the developer settings and force everything to act as a tablet app, those apps don't look good on foldables, either.

This means the bigger screen often presents a worse user experience because Android doesn't know what to do with it. The device clearly needs to show something other than a phone UI on the big interior screen, but Android boots into a phone UI anyway.

But the limited distribution isn't a huge loss, as Android is kind of a disaster on devices of this size. While the phone is not shipping in the US, Oppo's sub-brand OnePlus shares a lot of parts and software with the company, so we may see something similar here someday. Its unique form factor and construction make it the lightest tablet-style foldable on the market, and it manages to have one of the least-noticeable creases of any foldable device. One of the more interesting designs we've seen in the wild world of foldable smartphones comes from the Oppo Find N2.
