The Oppo Find N5 is confirmed to launch globally on February 20. Now the phone has bagged the TUV Rheinland worry-free folding certification
The hinge is reportedly made of a titanium alloy, which has passed the German Rhine TÜV “worry-free folding” and the newly added “imperceptible crease” certification.
The phone has achieved a new milestone in ingress protection with an IPX9 rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in water and even how water jets. Not to mention, it adds to the durability of this super thin book-style foldable.
A breakthrough in durability
According to an Oppo official, the phone uses the company’s fourth-generation water drop screen structure, UTG glass, and other screen materials and technologies—built to reduce the crease depth and width. As revealed by a previous teaser, the crease has indeed improved—it was almost nonexistent when compared side-by-side with the Galaxy Z Fold 6. This has to be a major breakthrough for the brand when it comes to the hinge mechanism.
It’s good to see Oppo has managed to reduce the crease, make the hinge IPX9 sealed, and just 4.2mm thick at the same time.
The phone has passed all tests including high temperature and humidity, low-temperature folding, sharp object impact, and unfolding flatness test. As per ITHome, this is the industry’s first foldable phone to pass the TÜV dual certification.
As for the internals, the Find N5 will be the world’s first foldable to equip the 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It will be powered by a considerably large 5,600mAh battery. For context, the predecessor—Oppo Find N3—runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and has a 4805 mAh battery.
