Oppo Find N5: The World’s Thinnest Foldable Phone Set to Redefine Innovation
In just ten days, Oppo is poised to shake up the foldable smartphone market with the launch of the Find N5, touted as the world’s thinnest book-style foldable. After a brief hands-on experience, early impressions suggest this device could set a new benchmark for sleek design and functionality in the foldable arena.
Design & Build: Thin Yet Sturdy
The Find N5’s standout feature is its razor-thin profile. While Oppo cautiously labels it a “book-style” foldable to distinguish it from Huawei’s trifold Mate XT (thinner when open), the Find N5 takes the crown as the slimmest closed foldable, thanks to its dual-panel design. The USB-C port is ingeniously positioned, with the chassis around it so slim it’s “a hair’s breadth” thick. Despite this, the phone feels remarkably solid—no flex or buckling under pressure, defying expectations for such a delicate-looking device.
Display: The Crease Conundrum Solved?
Oppo claims significant progress in minimizing the foldable’s Achilles’ heel: the crease. While not entirely invisible, the crease is nearly imperceptible to the touch and only catches light at specific angles. This refinement could finally put to rest one of the biggest gripes about foldables, making the Find N5’s screen as seamless as traditional smartphones.
Color Options & Aesthetic Appeal
The device launches globally in classic black and white, but the showstopper is a sleek purple vegan leather variant—exclusive to China, alas. This eco-friendly material adds a touch of luxury, and its absence internationally might disappoint style-conscious buyers.
Performance & Features
Under the hood, the Find N5 is a powerhouse:
- Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for top-tier performance.
- IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 ratings for robust water resistance (though no dust protection).
- Wireless charging support, a rarity in foldables.
- ColorOS with enhanced multitasking, a highlight from its predecessor. HOOK 4U
Global Availability & the OnePlus Connection
Launching in China and international markets on February 20, the Find N5 will skip the U.S. initially. However, history hints at a rebranded OnePlus Open 2 for the American market, mirroring the Find N3’s transition to the OnePlus Open. This strategy could help Oppo tap into OnePlus’s established U.S. foothold.
Final Thoughts: A Foldable Worth the Hype?
The Oppo Find N5 (or OnePlus Open 2) isn’t just about breaking records—it’s about refining the foldable experience. From its featherlight build to near-invisible crease and flagship specs, it addresses critical pain points while pushing boundaries. If Oppo delivers on durability and pricing, this could be the foldable that wins over skeptics.
What’s your take? Will the Find N5 dominate the foldable market, or is the crease still a dealbreaker? Share your thoughts! 🔥
