I was struck by super thin folding you could not buy in the US


In the first time since Galaxy Z Fold 4 Launch in 2022, I have never used a Samsung foldable to do my bidding. Instead, I felt the perfect content of doing it all to Oppo Find N5 Ever since it arrived a few weeks ago. The book's stylish is an 8.12-inches interior screen and a 6.6-inches exterior screen. This is a larger device than Galaxy Z Fold 6 Out now and even Pixel 9 Pro Fold of Google. The Kaba -Child It is thin compared to the rest of the folding offerings makes it attractive -despite the larger screen size. We wonder if OPPO has the same plans for the brand it sells in the US, OnePlus, which has never seen its updating strongly praised folded Since 2023.

That is not to say that Oppo Find N5 is a perfect folding. It starts at Singapore's $ 2,500 dollars, or about $ 1,880 USD. It still suffers from the conundrum of using this factor at first, especially in small hands. It's a heavy hammock with only fingers! My hands are medium-to-little, I know, and not built to act as phone holsters. However, the larger inside the screen realizes me that I like Ay A folding tablet phone. I don't want a folding device that pretends to be a phone in my pocket. I want the screen space to roam, read, and deeply dive into a suitable topic, no matter where I am. That's the point of such an expensive phone that makes it, and the Find N5 makes it all easier. I'm ready to embrace larger, thinner folding devices.

One of the best folded experiences

The front cover screen of the Find N5 is 6.6-inches in total.

Let's talk about what you get in Oppo Find N5, especially if, for some reason, you are so happy to be out abroad that you have tried to import it for yourself. For one, this is one of the thin folding devices that you can handle now. Find N5 is 4.2mm thin when turned open, compared to 5.1mm of Pixel 9 Pro Fold, boasting one of the thin designs in folded space in the US

The wireless charging remains intact, thanks to the slightly in OPPO's proprietary billing, which simplifies up to the 80W supervooc that is set and 50W wireless charging, but in brand cables. The battery is good enough, at least what's happening to Oppo here. This is a 5,600 mAh battery, a little bigger than you can see in Google and Samsung folders. This is a way larger than Galaxy Z Fold 6, which has 4,400 mAh batteries. I haven't run the whole battery test yet, but battery life promises anecdotally. That includes the Find N5 connected to a mobile network and get all my notices from the newspaper and chat apps I've installed, along with OnePlus Watch 3 that has signed my workouts. (For what is worth, I run Find N5 with a SIM connected to the Mint Network, and it has been well.)

Everything else about Find N5 is a standard friendship of the smartphone, up to QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 8 ELITE Processor. You can buy Find N5 with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage space, but it starts with a sufficient 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. The Find N5 has a cute little quirks, such as a mute switch on one side of the device and a fingerprint scanner that is embedded in the power button. Again, this seems to be a common trope of use with folding smartphones. Samsung is doing this, and there are rumors that apples Will do the same with its folding smartphone.

The Find N5's 8.1-inches inside the screen is where it is. I used it to read books and magazines in Libby, interact with my recreation friends at Discord, and only the headlines I can handle in my two newspaper apps. One more night, I just raised it in half in my stomach and watched the stages of The Anna Nicole Show On YouTube – thanks, the YouTube app knows how to work on a screen folded in half.

This is the widescreen that works for me. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 is good if you're trying to use a more folded phone like a phone. Oppo's position seems to be that, if you do one of them, you know what you're in there, so why don't you look good, big, and like a tablet? As long as I like having a 7-inch Android tablet like Nexus 7 Back in the dayThe larger size of the Find N5 screen why I prefer it with other folding devices. I just feel like I can do more.

Wait, why are you telling me about this phone?

The Oppo Find N5 is not readily available in the US, which you may wonder why we interrupted to cover it. Well, because Oppo is the parent company of OneplusA brand already Ay Sell ​​in the US, and one which, as I mentioned, often carries the properties of Oppo devices successfully abroad. Today, the Find N5 is getting a lot of glowing reviews, mainly for its slim, light (ish) design and large screens.

Oppo finds N5 not only interesting because it's a thin donkey phone, even if that's the driving force behind why you want to bother to import this thing in the first place. It also shows us what manufacturers think is a “important” feature for its users. You cannot have a thin device without some caveats.

The rear of the Find N5 is usually an OnePlus device with the same hasselblad branding.

For example, the camera in Find N5 is middle. On paper, it seems enough to promise a dual 50-MP camera sensor, one for the main shot, a second one for telephoto capabilities, and a third 8-MP camera sensor for ultra-wide shooting. However, the main camera is often preferable to extremely bright images, unless you tap and ask for it to focus on a specific point. Like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6, it's limited to a 3x optical zoom.

Regarding software updates, Oppo will not support this phone as long as Samsung and Google plans to do so with their folding devices. Samsung and Google are focused on seven years of software updates and security patches. Oppo and OnePlus remain focused on the four -year timeline.

The Find N5 is also not what I will call strong. The case sent by the manufacturer along with our review unit does not even occupy the front part of it. It pops behind, and has enough cases to cover the hinge. The entire cover screen remains exposed. At the very least, the Find N5 is water -resistant, even if it is not built for tough outside world. Oppo achieved an IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 rating. The Find N5 can withstand a variety of water conditions, including rain submission and high -pressure water jets. It's about both on Google and Samsung devices.

Speakers are also limited for a smartphone that costs a lot, especially compared to the sound of bass-forward I can get from a iPhone 16For example – be the iPhone 16e has some powerful woofers in its small phone's body.

You can't buy this phone (if you're in the US)

The war for the thin folding smartphone remains continuous, even though most manufacturers seem to be in a standing, who knows how to cram a artificial intelligence on withering phone bodies. Good news for our gadget freaks that are obsessed with the future that are now available. Find N5 is a comfortable folding. The hinges are strong enough that the Find N5 can get rid of itself. If you haven't been caught in the great news of folding smartphones, Oppo Find N5 will hopefully give you some faith. I like this phone as a dedicated reading device, and it has all the same software tricks like a Samsung UI in its foldables, so it has no problem transferring.

Sorry for teasing, however, as we are in the US cannot buy this phone directly. I hope this means some good news reaches for both the OnePlus fans and those looking for the third offer beyond Google and Samsung.
