It looks like Oppo might return to clamshell foldables in 2025, more than a year after the Find N3 Flip. The next-gen foldable might be called the Find N5 Flip, as the number 4 is considered unlucky in China.
Recently, a new flip phone from Oppo has appeared on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) patent filing with a set of renders. While the docs don’t explicitly call it the Find N5 Flip, the timing and design make a pretty strong case.
This could be the upcoming Oppo Find N5 Flip
Seeing these renders, it’s clear that Oppo is refining its design rather than making any big changes. The cover screen still has that rectangular shape, but now the camera system has been reworked into a pill-shaped module stacked on the right.
The new layout frees up more space for the cover screen, which is pretty evident from renders. It now looks just a bit wider.
The clamshell has three cameras on the pill module and has no visible gap between the hinges when closed. The internal display also seems largely unchanged, and yes, there’s still an alert slider.
However, keep in mind that this is a patent filing and not all patent applications materialize. So this could either be something that Oppo is working on or just a concept in itself.
So far, Oppo hasn’t said a word about a new flip phone. The book-style Find N5 launched back in February 2025 and has made its way to global markets, at least in some regions. And just like last time, when the Find N3 Flip launched separately from its foldable sibling, we’re expecting the same rollout strategy for the Find N5 Flip.
