OPPO Find N5: The World's Slimmest Foldable Smartphone

OPPO has introduced the Find N5, the world’s slimmest book-style foldable smartphone, measuring just 4.21mm when unfolded. This revolutionary device sets a new standard in design, portability, and performance, featuring a Titanium Flexion Hinge, advanced IP-rated water resistance, a powerful camera system, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

A Leap Towards Ultra-Slim Design

With a mission to create the thinnest foldable phone, OPPO has made a bold move in the foldable smartphone race. The Find N5 boasts an unfolded thickness of 4.21mm and a folded thickness of just 8.93mm, making it slimmer than competitors like the HONOR Magic V3 (4.35mm unfolded, 9.3mm folded) and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 (5.6mm unfolded, 12.1mm folded). This ultra-thin design allows for better portability while maintaining durability and performance.

Titanium Flexion Hinge: Engineering Excellence

One of the standout features of the OPPO Find N5 is its Titanium Flexion Hinge, which is 26% smaller than the one used in its predecessor, the Find N3. This redesigned hinge enhances rigidity while minimizing the display crease, a common issue with foldable smartphones.

OPPO also incorporates a 3D-printed titanium wing panel and a lightweight carbon fiber blend, reducing the phone’s weight to just 229 grams, making it one of the lightest foldable devices in its category.

First Foldable Smartphone with IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 Water Resistance

The Find N5 is the first foldable smartphone to receive IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance ratings. This means the device can withstand:

• Pressurized jets of hot water

• Complete submersion

• Everyday splashes and spills

The frame of the Find N5 is constructed using 7000 series aluminum, ensuring durability while maintaining a lightweight structure.

Immersive Display: A Visual Delight

OPPO has focused on delivering superior display quality with the Find N5. The device features:

• Main Display: 8.12-inch LTPO OLED screen with FHD+ resolution, a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and 2,100 nits peak brightness

• Outer Display: 6.62-inch LTPO OLED panel with FHD+ resolution, a 20.7:9 aspect ratio, and an impressive 2,450 nits brightness

Both displays support the Oppo Pen stylus, which is available as an additional accessory.

Hasselblad-Powered Triple Camera System

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Hasselblad-co-developed camera system on the Find N5, which includes:

• 50MP main camera (LYT-700 sensor)

• 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom

• 8MP ultrawide camera with autofocus capabilities

These high-quality lenses deliver sharp, detailed images, making the Find N5 a strong contender in the foldable smartphone photography segment.

Flagship-Level Performance with Snapdragon 8 Elite

The Find N5 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, delivering flagship-level speed and efficiency. The device comes with:

• 16GB RAM

• 512GB internal storage (only variant available globally)

Running on ColorOS 15 (based on Android 15), OPPO has promised 4 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches, ensuring long-term software support.

Long-Lasting Battery with SuperVOOC Fast Charging

To keep the device running throughout the day, the Find N5 is equipped with a 5,600mAh silicon-carbon battery, supporting:

• 80W SuperVOOC wired charging

• 50W AirVOOC wireless charging

This combination allows for fast and efficient charging, reducing downtime and enhancing user convenience.

Pricing and Availability

The OPPO Find N5 is priced at $1,800 (~₹1,60,000). While OPPO has not confirmed an India launch date, the global availability of the device signals that it may arrive in the Indian market soon.

Conclusion: The Future of Foldable Smartphones

With its record-breaking slim design, powerful performance, and advanced camera capabilities, the OPPO Find N5 is set to redefine the foldable smartphone landscape.
