You know that moment when you fold your laundry and wonder, “Why can’t my phone do this too?” Well, in 2025, it can—and it does. Meet the OPPO Find N5, the world’s thinnest book-style foldable that wants to blend into your life instead of shouting, “LOOK, I FOLD!” every time you take it out of your pocket.

This isn’t just a device for tech nerds or flex-loving YouTubers (though they’ll adore it too). No, the Find N5 feels like the first Android foldable for the everyday user—someone who values balance: style and substance, innovation andreliability, power and pocketability.

Let’s unfold the experience (pun 100% intended).

Design: When Form Finally Meets Function

Foldable phones have long existed in a kind of futuristic purgatory—cool enough to turn heads, but not practical enough to live in your pocket. With the OPPO Find N5, that finally changes. At just 8.93mm thick when folded and an astonishing 4.21mm when opened, OPPO has crafted a device that is redefining expectations. This isn’t some bulky slab pretending to be a phone-tablet hybrid. This is an honest-to-goodness smartphone that just happens to unfold into a powerful productivity panel.

Now, let’s talk weight. At 229g, the Find N5 is comparable to a traditional flagship bar phone. It doesn’t tip your pocket, pull down your hoodie, or scream for attention. Instead, it slips quietly into daily life. That’s the kind of silent utility foldable fans have been craving for years.

What really takes the cake is the build quality. OPPO has integrated materials you’d more likely find on a spacecraft than in a smartphone—aerospace-grade fiber, titanium alloys, and carbon-aluminium composites. It’s not just a flex on paper (or in your hand), it’s a feat of modern industrial design.

And let’s give a moment of appreciation for OPPO’s much-loved Alert Slider—a hardware switch that lets you jump between sound profiles. If you’ve used a phone with it before, you know how addictive that flick becomes. If you haven’t, prepare for an epiphany.

Visually, the device comes in two colors that perfectly walk the line between classic and contemporary:

• Misty White: Like holding a glacier that decided to become fashion-forward.
• Cosmic Black: Understated luxury meets stealth mode.

But it’s not just about looks. Every curve and edge has been engineered for comfort. The finely contoured sides provide a premium grip, and when unfolded, the phone still feels balanced and remarkably light. Whether you’re commuting, lounging, or lying in bed doom-scrolling until 2 AM, the Find N5 never feels like a burden.

Durability: Delicate Looks, Hulk-like Guts

Let’s address the foldable elephant in the room: durability. Ever since the first foldables launched, people have been skeptical. And rightfully so—cracking screens, flimsy hinges, water sensitivity. But OPPO didn’t just slap a hinge on a flagship and call it a day. The Find N5 has been engineered from the inside out for real-world resilience.

First, the Titanium Flexion Hinge. Constructed from Grade 5 titanium alloy, it’s 36% more rigid and 26% smaller than its predecessor. This hinge isn’t just sturdy—it’s a marvel. Using advanced 3D printing technology, OPPO has sculpted a mechanism that’s both lightweight and crazy durable. The wing plate and hinge cover? Also titanium. We’re basically dealing with a pocket-sized Transformer.

Inside the chassis, carbon fiber and aluminium-ceramic composites support the battery compartment. The motherboard uses a quad-stack design to save space while enhancing structural integrity. Compared to the Find N3, the board is 20% thinner and 31% shorter, which might not sound like much, but in smartphone engineering, that’s wizardry.

As for the back cover, it’s 43% thinner than before, and five times more resilient in drop tests. If you’re the kind of user who watches their phone tumble in slow motion at least once a week, this is great news. The Find N5 is also the first foldable to be IPX6, IPX8, AND IPX9 certified. That means it can withstand splashes, submersion, and even high-pressure jets of water. Whether it’s an accidental sink dunk or your kid’s attempt at aquatic warfare, the Find N5 isn’t sweating it.

Let’s not forget the TÜV Rheinland certification, which proves the phone can handle 100,000 folds at extreme temperatures. You could be snapping this thing open in a sauna or on a snowy peak—OPPO’s got you.

Display: A Visual Feast Indoors and Out

The moment you unfold the Find N5, you’re met with a screen that feels like a magic trick. The 8.12-inch OLED LTPO panel doesn’t just look stunning—it feels limitless. Whether you’re reading, drawing, gaming, or watching HDR videos, the sheer size and quality of this display is a game changer.

Brightness? You’re covered. With 2100 nits peak and 1400 nits outdoors, sunlight doesn’t stand a chance. Color accuracy, HDR10+ support, and ProXDR visuals mean your content looks truer than life.

But here’s where it gets seriously impressive—the crease is practically invisible. Compared to the Find N3, it’s 50% shallower and 10% narrower. Swipe, tap, or draw across it, and you won’t even notice it’s there. Finally, a foldable that doesn’t remind you of its hinge every 10 seconds.

Now, let’s talk outer screen: a 6.62-inch OLED with a super-comfy 20.7:9 aspect ratio. It feels exactly like a regular phone, which is a compliment in disguise. Fold it up and go about your business—texting, scrolling, emailing—with one hand. It’s what we’ve been begging foldables to do since day one.

OPPO’s use of Nanocrystal Glass on the outer panel adds strength and polish. Meanwhile, LTPO technology ensures buttery-smooth 1-120Hz adaptive refresh, preserving battery while keeping visuals fluid.

Smart Software and Seamless Productivity: O+ Connect and AI Integration

Let’s talk software—because what’s the point of futuristic hardware if it’s not backed by intuitive, intelligent tools that actually make your life easier? With the OPPO Find N5, the software experience is every bit as refined as the hardware, blending productivity, AI, and cross-platform harmony into a cohesive digital lifestyle.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly O+ Connect, OPPO’s bridge between Android and macOS that finally gives Mac users a reason to love Android again. Whether you’re juggling work on your MacBook or just want to stream a video from your phone to your laptop, O+ Connect makes it effortless.

Just link both devices to the same Wi-Fi network, and boom—you can wirelessly transfer files, preview photos and videos directly from your phone on your Mac, and even open, edit, and save files between platforms with zero friction. Need to check a PDF? Need to send a Keynote presentation back to your device? It’s all drag-and-drop simple. And because it’s optimized for speed, even large files (like a 1GB video) load in seconds.

But OPPO didn’t stop there. With Remote Mac Control, your phone becomes a pocket-sized command center. Enable the virtual keyboard and trackpad, fold the Find N5 into FlexForm mode, and now you’ve got a true multitasking hub. Two-finger scroll? Check. Three-finger swipe to open Mission Control? You bet. Need to send a file from your Mac to someone on WhatsApp? Long-press and drag—it’s that seamless.

Multitasking on the phone itself is equally impressive thanks to Boundless View. The intuitive triple-dot menu atop any app unlocks a world of options: add a second or third app in split screen, float windows, expand or shrink views. And it’s smart—switch between certain apps a couple times and the phone will suggest a split-screen layout before you even ask.

And then there’s the AI layer—OPPO’s practical, baked-in, offline-ready AI suite that turns your Find N5 into a proactive assistant without ever feeling intrusive.

Need to translate or rewrite a document? AI Document has you covered. Open it up and watch side-by-side translated versions appear in real-time. Perfect for international business, research, or even casually reading imported articles.

Then there’s the redesigned Translate app—built for dual screens, real-time chats, and travel. Enter conversation mode and talk naturally with someone who speaks another language, while each screen shows the appropriate translation for each participant.

Take AI Call Summary. After a client call or meeting, it transcribes key points, identifies to-dos, and presents them in a readable, actionable format. It’s like having an intern who listens in and summarizes what matters.

On the creative side, OPPO’s AI photo tools are stellar:

• AI Clarity Enhancer boosts quality for pixelated or cropped images.
• AI Unblur fixes those almost-perfect but motion-blurred shots.
• Reflection Remover cuts out annoying window glare.
• AI Eraser deletes distractions like stray tourists in the background.

The best part? None of these features feel gimmicky. They work. And they work well. Whether you’re a power user, creative, or casual multitasker, the Find N5 software adapts to you, not the other way around.

Together, these software features transform the OPPO Find N5 from an impressive foldable into a versatile digital daily driver. It’s more than a phone—it’s your editor, assistant, translator, designer, and command center. And it all fits in your pocket.

Performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite Unleashed

In most foldables, performance is an afterthought. They’re often a year behind traditional flagships, relying on last-gen chips to cut corners or save battery life. But the OPPO Find N5 isn’t here to play that game. It’s not following trends—it’s setting the pace.

At its core, the Find N5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite, featuring Qualcomm’s new Oryon CPU and Adreno 830 GPU. This isn’t just an incremental update—it’s a full-blown performance renaissance. With a massive leap in both raw power and energy efficiency, it’s a chip that makes the Find N5 feel as fast as any top-tier gaming phone or productivity powerhouse in 2025.

Backing it up is a generous 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, giving you ample space and ultra-fast read/write speeds for apps, media, and multitasking. Want to keep ten apps running in the background? No problem. Need to export a 4K video while uploading photos and streaming music? The Find N5 handles it like a champ.

This isn’t just synthetic benchmark bragging—though if you care about numbers, the Find N5 tops them. In daily life, everything is smoother. App switching is instantaneous. Animation stutters are gone. Boot times are nearly nonexistent. From launching resource-heavy tools like Photoshop Express to jumping into Google Docs mid-call, this device stays fluid under pressure.

And then there’s gaming

With the Find N5, gaming doesn’t feel like an afterthought squeezed into a productivity phone. It feels intentional. Thanks to the Adreno 830 GPU, mobile titles like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile, and PUBG: New State run on maximum settings without breaking a sweat. Frame rates are stable, textures are crisp, and load times are lightning fast.

Even better, the foldable form factor enhances the experience. Unfold the device for a tablet-like view with more screen real estate for on-screen controls. Combine that with the 8.12-inch OLED inner display and stereo speakers, and you’re looking at a mini gaming console that folds in half and fits in your pocket. For emulators, cloud gaming via Xbox Game Pass, or just bingeing a few matches in Arena Breakout, it’s hard to find a better companion.

OPPO has also implemented advanced thermal management. Despite the intense processing power, the device rarely heats up beyond warm-to-the-touch levels, even after extended play sessions or prolonged video rendering. That’s thanks in part to the new Trinity Engine, which works behind the scenes to optimize performance, manage CPU cycles, and maintain battery efficiency.

Speaking of battery—the synergy between the efficient Snapdragon chip and OPPO’s power optimization means you’re not sacrificing battery life for performance. Whether you’re working, gaming, or editing on the go, the Find N5 delivers consistent results all day long.

In short: the OPPO Find N5 is not only the most powerful foldable on the market—it’s one of the fastest Android phones, period. It brings flagship-tier performance to a foldable form without compromise, making it a dream device for anyone who demands speed, responsiveness, and versatility in one sleek, foldable package.

Camera: More Than Megapixels

If there’s one thing OPPO rarely skimps on, it’s imaging—and the Find N5 is no exception. In fact, it might be the best foldable camera system to date, thanks to the Hasselblad partnership that continues to give OPPO phones a creative edge.

Let’s break it down. The main camera is a 50MP Sony LYT-700 sensor with a 1/1.56” sensor size, OIS, and a fast f/1.89 aperture. That’s the kind of spec sheet you expect from a top-tier flagship, and in real-world use, it delivers. Daylight photos pop with natural color, low-light performance is impressive, and HDR is balanced without looking artificial.

Then there’s the 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and up to 60x AI-enhanced digital zoom. OPPO’s AI Telescope Zoom kicks in at 10x and beyond, using computational photography to sharpen details that would otherwise be lost. It’s not just marketing fluff—it’s genuinely usable, producing surprisingly detailed long-range shots that rival the competition.

Oh, and did we mention tele-macro photography? That 3x lens can focus as close as 10cm, allowing for close-up shots with beautiful bokeh and zero distortion. It works like a pro-level macro lens, and once you start using it, you’ll be looking for excuses to photograph coffee foam, insects, or the texture of your sweater.

On the ultra-wide front, there’s an 8MP shooter with a 116° field of view and autofocus. It’s the least flashy of the trio but still does a solid job with landscapes and group shots. Autofocus helps with macro-ish shots and keeps images sharp edge-to-edge.

Selfie-wise, both the inner and outer screens house 8MP front-facing cameras, which get the job done for video calls, selfies, and face unlock—but you’ll probably find yourself flipping the phone open and using the main sensor in FlexForm mode for truly stunning selfies.

And for video lovers? The Find N5 supports 4K 60fps Dolby Vision recording. That means rich contrast, cinematic tones, and a more dynamic final product right out of the camera. Combine that with the dual ProXDR displays and you’ve got a phone that not only records beautiful video—it can show it off, too.

There’s even a suite of AI photo editing tools:

• AI Clarity Enhancer for upscaling
• AI Unblur for motion shots
• Reflection Remover for shots through windows
• AI Eraser for photobombers and distractions

This is the first foldable camera setup where you don’t have to compromise. Whether you’re capturing portraits, wildlife, food, or family moments, the Find N5 has the range, the detail, and the software to make it shine.

Battery Life and Charging: The Foldable Marathon Champ

Foldables usually compromise on battery life. But again, the Find N5 breaks the mold with a massive 5600mAh Silicon-Carbon battery. That’s not just good for a foldable—it’s better than most bar phones.

How did OPPO pull it off? By using a high-density battery tech with 10% silicon content. The result is a thinner cell that stores more juice without ballooning the device.

Real-world usage? Stellar.

• 25 hours of video streaming
• 8.6 hours of Zoom calls
• 7 hours of gaming

Even with heavy use, you’re getting all-day performance. And if you’re more casual, you might squeeze out two days.

With 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging and a class-leading 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging setup, this foldable doesn’t just recharge fast—it redefines what fast means.

A full top-up takes under 50 minutes. That’s for a 5600mAh battery—not a dainty cell. Even a quick 15-minute splash can give you most of your day’s power back. Wireless charging is just as sleek thanks to a custom coil that’s only 0.18mm thick. Paired with OPPO’s magnetic charger, you get reliable, fast, and elegant wireless charging with no extra bulk.

Everyday Use: From Morning Scrolls to Midnight Calls

Let’s get down to brass tacks—what is this phone like to live with, day in and day out? I’ve spent a week using the Find N5 as my primary device. Here’s the honest verdict: this is the first foldable that just feels normal.

In the best possible way.

Morning routine? I check emails and messages on the outer screen while making coffee. The size and aspect ratio make it feel like any regular phone—none of the tall, skinny awkwardness from other foldables.

During work hours, I unfold it to join Google Meet calls, jot down notes, and reference documents side-by-side. The 8.12” screen feels like carrying a tablet in my pocket, but with better multitasking. FlexForm mode lets it sit upright on my desk, no stand needed.

Commuting? I can reply to texts one-handed. Watching Netflix? I open it up and get lost in OLED bliss. Grocery list? Split-screen between my notes and recipe app. The point is, the Find N5 adapts to whatever I’m doing—not the other way around.

At the gym, it slips into my shorts pocket just like any other phone. On a hike, I used the camera to take zoomed-in shots of distant birds. At night, I fall asleep reading comics in tablet mode. It fits every part of my life in a way no other foldable has.

And that’s what makes it special. It doesn’t just show off—it shows up. Every day. Quietly. Reliably.

The Final Verdict: The Foldable Future, Now Folded in Your Pocket

Let’s not mince words: the OPPO Find N5 is the most well-rounded, thoughtfully designed foldable on the market right now. It doesn’t feel like a prototype. It doesn’t feel like a compromise. It feels like a real phone—that just happens to fold in half.

From its titanium-enhanced durability and nearly invisible crease to its beast-mode performance and truly useful AI smarts, the Find N5 is more than a gimmick. It’s a bold rethinking of what a smartphone should be in 2025.

It’s the first foldable I can recommend to literally anyone—not just the tech-obsessed. If you want a phone that can do it all, and do it elegantly, the OPPO Find N5 is it.

The OPPO Find N5 will be officially released in the UAE in May
