Oppo has been teasing its upcoming foldable for quite a while and has revealed many aspects of the device ahead of the launch event. The latest one is about the crease on the inner display.
Pete Lau, the chief product officer (CPO) at Oppo, has shared two images on his official X account, comparing the crease of the Oppo Find N5 with one of its competitors. The difference in the crease, well, you can see for yourself.
The crease is almost nonexistent
Thanks to Samsung for changing the corner radius last year, we can confirm it’s the brand’s latest foldable – the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Of course, Oppo hasn’t been able to completely get rid of the crease yet – upon closer inspection, you can still see it. But here, the Oppo exec had a point: it’s almost nonexistent in comparison. Other than that, the aspect ratio and the front camera placement look very similar to the Oppo Find N3.
The company previously revealed the side profile emphasizing its slick form factor. According to a previous report, the phone is only 4.8mm thick. It is impressive to see Oppo having figured out how to fold the display within such a small area without leaving a crease. This achievement is likely due to a redesigned hinge mechanism.
Matter of fact, a recent rumor claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s crease is “almost gone“. Considering the fact that we have only seen minimal improvements in this aspect from the Z Fold models so far, and the Fold 7 is expected to be based on the hinge mechanism of the already released Z Fold SE, we cannot expect too much yet. That said, the crease could be one of the advantages the Find N5 will have over its biggest competitor.
