OPPO's Find N5 is what happens when you make a foldable impossibly thin

Ultimate Summary: OPPO’s Find N5 has been announced in Singapore. It’s unbelievably thin at 4.21mm unfolded and 8.

93mm folded, with a massive 8.12-inch display. It also runs on the 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.



Find N5 will be available “globally”.Today, at an event in Singapore, OPPO announced the successor to its wildly successful Find N3 foldable. Introducing the OPPO Find N5.

The Find N3 was released over 16 months ago, so OPPO has some pretty big upgrades up its sleeve for the Find N5 this time around. OPPO skipped the Find N4 since the number four is unlikely for the Chinese. So most companies will skip 4, including OnePlus.

The first upgrade you’ll notice is the size. While there’s been a lot of talk leading up to the OPPO Find N5’s launch about the thinness, and how it is the world’s thinnest foldable, OPPO also increased the overall size of this phone. So now, we have a 6.

62-inch cover display, with a 8.12-inch internal display. That makes it the largest internal display on a book style foldable.

That wording is important here, as the Huawei Mate XT does have a larger display, however, that is a trifold foldable.Find N5 measures in at 160.87mm x 74.

42mm when folded, and 8.93mm thin. While unfolded it comes in at 4.

21mm. Which makes it the world’s thinnest foldable, beating out the HONOR Magic V3 by about .2mm.

Internally, the Find N5 does sport the new 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite, with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Despite losing a Prime core on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, we haven’t seen any major hits to performance.Every camera was customized specifically for Find N5All of the cameras on the Find N5 were customized for this phone.

Allowing OPPO to shave off quite a bit of space from the camera module. It’s now about 40% thinner, compared to the OnePlus Open/Find N3. They are also using all-new sensors, some of which might seem like downgrades.

This includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor that is the Sony LYT-700. There’s also a 50-megapixel telephoto lens that does 3x optical zoom and sensor crops for 6x optical zoom. Rounding out the backside is an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor.

While the front-facing cameras are 8-megapixel sensors.The Find N3 had a fantastic camera setup with dual 48MP cameras and a 64MP camera, so this does look like a fairly massive downgrade. But in the almost two weeks that I’ve had the Find N5, the camera performance appears to be very similar to the Find N3.

And OPPO is using telemacro this time, so macro is actually getting a huge upgrade.OPPO brings wireless charging to its foldable for the first timeOne feature that was missing from Find N, N2, and N3 was wireless charging. Which OPPO has added this year.

It’s using its proprietary 50W AirVOOC wireless charging – and yes, the OnePlus’ 50W wireless charger does work here. It’s great to have, however, there are no magnets inside the phone. OPPO is selling some cases with the magnets built-in, so you can use MagSafe products with the Find N5.

Unfortunately, the case that is included in the box does not have the magnet.When it comes to wired charging, that has also been improved to 80W, versus the 65W on the Find N3. That’s going to allow the Find N5 to charge its 5600mAh capacity battery completely in about 47 minutes.

It won’t be launching as OnePlus Open 2With the Find N3 in 2023, OPPO actually launched it in the US and other markets under the OnePlus brand. However, OnePlus is not doing that this year. So those of us in the US are out of luck.

OnePlus confirmed that it would not be launching a foldable this year, which is sad news. But that means OPPO might be looking to push the Find N5 more aggressively. The post OPPO's Find N5 is what happens when you make a foldable impossibly thin appeared first on Android Headlines.
