Oppo

When competing with Samsung for vertical foldables, Oppo has always gone with more. More screen space, more cover display, more camera. While doing all of this, the Chinese smartphone brand has also gone with a more refined hinge, all of which worked in favour of the Oppo Find N2 Flip when I compared it with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 early this year—a few months on, Motorola released its Razr 40 Ultra, which offered a radical design with an edge-to-edge cover display (and embedded cameras) along with features like an IP rating and wireless charging. A few months later, Samsung launched a refreshed Galaxy Z Flip 5, which followed the trend set by Motorola and offered a large, squarish cover display but fell short on execution with badly optimised software.

Oppo's Enco lineup of true wireless earphones has been a relatively quiet success for the company, and has received largely positive feedback from the community, including myself. While the premium Enco X2 headset is among the best that you can guy for around Rs. 10,000 or so, the Enco Air series is a bit more of a hit-or-miss situation. While the regular ‘Air' variants haven't quite matched up to the hype, the ‘Pro' headsets have generally been good picks when it comes to features and performance for the price.
