Foldable phones are getting thinner and slimmer and Oppo seems to lead the way. The upcoming folding flagship that Oppo, the Oppo Find N5, is only slightly thicker than a USB-C port. This would mean that Oppo’s foldable phone will be the thinnest when it launches.
Oppo Find N5 thickness compared with iPhone 16 Pro
Zhou Yibao, Oppo’s product manager for the Find N series, posted some jaw-dropping images on Weibo that showcase the Find N5’s slim profile. For context, the iPhone 16 Pro measures 8.3 mm. Officially, the upcoming Oppo foldable is being marketed as the world’s thinnest foldable, and these teasers make that claim hard to dispute.
Oppo isn’t just shaving off millimeters for show, though. The Find N5 is known to be packing the following: wireless charging, a larger battery, a Hasselblad-tuned camera, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor (rumored to have 7 cores instead of 8).
Oppo has been teasing the device in China, where it’s expected to launch as early as February. The possible announcement may come a bit later for global fans, while rumors say that the teaser may be unveiled at the MWC in March as OnePlus Open 2. For the time being, all eyes are on the design of the Find N5. If it’s thinner than the Honor Magic V3, which measures 4.4 mm per side, it will also outclass the future iPhone 17 Air, rumored to be 5.5 mm thick.
What else do we know
Even with its super slim profile, the Find N5 doesn’t skimp on performance. The phone has already surfaced on Geekbench, and while its single-core performance is comparable to the Galaxy S25 Slim (with the same chip), it absolutely crushes the latter in multi-core performance, leading by nearly 2000 points. So, all the concern about overheating or a lack of performance is pretty much nullified.
If you’ve been waiting for a foldable that doesn’t compromise on design or power, the Oppo Find N5 might just be it. Let’s hope global markets get their hands on it sooner rather than later!
