The post Every Snapdragon 8 Elite phone launched so far: Complete list appeared first on Gizmochina.

If 2024 was a year of incremental updates, 2025 was the year the foldable form factor truly matured. We moved past the era of engineering curiosity and fragility into a time where these devices stood confidently alongside and often surpassed traditional flagship phones.

From Samsung’s meticulous refinement of its ecosystem to Huawei and Oppo pushing the physical limits of camera optics and hinge mechanics, this year’s lineup proved that foldables are no longer just experiments. They are now among the very best smartphones money can buy.

Here are our picks for the best foldable smartphones of 2025.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

Samsung’s seventh-generation book-style foldable feels like the device the series was always destined to be. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 eliminates previous compromises, most notably in its weight; at just 215g, it is the lightest Fold yet, thanks to a new titanium-backed display and slimmer FlexHinge. The viewing experience has been significantly upgraded with an 8-inch main display featuring thinner bezels and the removal of the under-display camera, which has been swapped for a sharper 10MP sensor.

However, the headline feature is the camera system. For the first time, Samsung has integrated a 200MP flagship-grade sensor, allowing the Fold 7 to capture images that rival the best slab phones on the market. On the software front, the device acts as a premier mobile workstation. Running One UI 8 and Android 16, it leverages Galaxy AI for seamless multitasking, such as side-by-side editing and context-aware interactions with Gemini Live.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

Samsung also elevated its Flip line this year, turning the clamshell form factor into a productivity tool. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 introduced the biggest and brightest cover screen ever seen on the series, a 4.1-inch FlexWindow that genuinely feels like a standalone phone. This expanded real estate allows users to reply to messages, run full apps, or interact with Gemini Live without ever needing to unfold the device.

Beyond the screen, the Flip 7 is a powerhouse in its own right. It is the first in the series to support Samsung DeX, allowing it to double as a desktop computer, and it packs a larger 4300mAh battery despite being slimmer than ever. This combination of portability and power ensures that the Flip 7 offers a premium flagship experience that goes far beyond simple nostalgia.

Huawei Mate X7

While others focused on refinement, Huawei chose to experiment with aggressive hardware. The Mate X7 turned heads with its unique Yun Brocade Collector’s Edition design, but it is the camera system that truly sets it apart. It features a 50MP main sensor with a variable aperture, a 50MP telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, and Huawei’s Red Maple color sensor, all of which combine to deliver stunning results in any lighting condition.

The display technology is equally impressive, with a foldable OLED screen that reaches a peak brightness of 2500 nits. Running on HarmonyOS, the device makes excellent use of this extra screen real estate with improved multitasking features and satellite messaging support. To top it off, the 5600mAh battery and titanium-reinforced body make the Mate X7 one of the most rugged and longest-lasting foldables released this year.

Oppo Find N5

If Samsung and Huawei aimed for raw performance and camera versatility, the Find N5 focused on ergonomic perfection. This was arguably the most comfortable and polished foldable to hold in 2025, featuring a crease so shallow it is barely noticeable. This is made possible by an aerospace-grade titanium hinge that is both lighter and tougher than anything Oppo has shipped before.

The experience is just as premium on the inside. The 8.12-inch LTPO inner display supports stylus input, while the outer display has been upgraded for higher brightness. The Hasselblad-powered triple camera system, which includes a 50MP periscope lens and 6x optical zoom, holds its own in low-light and portrait scenarios. Furthermore, Oppo addressed battery anxiety by packing a massive 5600mAh silicon-carbon battery into the device, complete with fast wired and wireless charging, features its predecessor sorely lacked.

Huawei Pura X

Huawei’s Pura X took the idea of a flip phone and flipped expectations. The device features a unique 6.3-inch inner display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, a rarity in foldables, while the 3.5-inch outer OLED is a perfect square, giving the phone a distinctive, mirror-like aesthetic. Both screens are top-tier, supporting high-frequency PWM dimming and full 120Hz LTPO refresh rates.

Unlike many flips that compromise on cameras, the Pura X is a serious imaging device. It houses a 50MP RYYB main camera, a 40MP ultra-wide, and a 3.5x telephoto lens, offering flagship versatility in a playful form factor. When you add in IPX8 water resistance, satellite communication support, and a 4720mAh battery with 66W wired charging, the Pura X stands out as a flip phone that feels like a true flagship.

In 2025, Chinese brands aren’t just catching up in the foldable race. They’re dictating the pace. From Huawei’s pioneering tri-fold concept to Honor’s slim engineering marvels, this year’s best Chinese foldables are redefining what mobile hardware can do, from displays that break brightness records to battery tech that feels pulled straight from the future.

If you’re ready to invest in a foldable phone that pushes boundaries in meaningful ways, these are the must-buy Chinese foldables that deserve your attention.

Huawei Mate XTs Ultimate Design

Huawei introduced the Mate XTs as a follow-up to last year’s Mate XT. It remains the only production-ready tri-fold phone available for purchase in 2025. The device switches between three usable form factors: a 6.4-inch folded phone, a 7.9-inch mini tablet when half-open, and a full 10.2-inch tablet when completely unfolded. The display features COE pixel technology, which reduces power consumption by 13%.

The post Save $200 on the OPPO Find N5 Foldable Phone: Limited Time Deal at Giztop appeared first on Gizmochina.

From May 2025, your next smartphone from China could cost 10–54% more, all thanks to a new wave of U.S. tariffs and taxes targeting imported tech. If you’ve been eyeing a high-performance smartphone from brands like Xiaomi, OnePlus, OPPO, or Realme, the clock is ticking fast.

Under the Trump administration’s new trade enforcement measures, a second 10% tariff on Chinese goods will take effect, stacking on top of the initial 10% rate introduced back in February. That means a total of 20% tariffs on all Chinese electronics, including smartphones, tablets, and wearables.

A $1200 device today could quickly shoot up by $1540 or more in added fees once the new rate kicks in.

But that’s not all. The real price crunch comes on May 2, when the T86 customs clearance policy ends. This policy currently allows quick, tax-free shipping for orders under $800. When it expires, buyers could face a 34% import tax on top of tariffs, customs fees, and shipping delays. That’s a potential 54% total tax, making even mid-range phones more expensive overnight.

While the temporary reinstatement of the $800 De Minimis exemption (as of February 8) gives buyers a short window of relief, it’s just that, short. Customs is already preparing a stricter system to process and tax low-value shipments, and the grace period won’t last much longer.

So here’s the deal: Buy now, while stock lasts and duty-free rules are still in effect. Retailers like Giztop have many of these phones in warehouses, ready to ship, meaning you can lock in current prices and avoid the upcoming tax increase.

We’ve curated the list of top smartphones you can still grab at pre-tariff prices, perfect picks to lock in now before costs climb and inventories tighten.

Oppo has launched the Find N5 as the world’s slimmest book-style foldable phone, which previously demonstrated impressive structural rigidity in the company’s tests. Now famous YouTube creator Zack Nelson (aka JerryRigEverything) puts the phone through his signature durability test.

The aluminum middle frame, glass-protected outer display, and soft inner display handle the scratch test just as you’d expect: the inner screen starts scratching at level 2 of the Mohs scale of hardness while the outer display starts scratching at level 6.

Find N5’s inner display was completely damaged when bent vertically

Things took a turn for the worse during the bend test. As he covered the hinge with dust, some particles got inside—unsurprising, given that the hinge is water-resistant but not dustproof. He also covered the display with a significant amount of it and folded the phone.

Dust particles that entered through the hinge led to two lines of dead pixels on the inner display as he bent the phone horizontally while folded. Notably, the OnePlus Open survived this test. The foldable display of the Find N5 was completely damaged when bent vertically with the hinge unfolded.

Is it due to the slim form factor of the phone? After all, a thicker middle frame made from the same material technically offers higher structural rigidity and hence may prevent the damages shown in the video. So, while the company has showcased the hinge supporting as high as 50 kg without any damage to the folding mechanism or to the display, the pressure was applied on a specific part of the phone from a specific direction in a controlled environment, which might not be the case when it comes to real world usage.

Nonetheless, the hinge is strong enough to withstand most accidents, and the reduced crease is noticeably less visible than its predecessor—something the company deserves praise for.

The post World’s slimmest foldable phone fails to survive bent test appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has proven that cutting-edge technology can be both sleek and sturdy. In a recently released YouTube video, the company demonstrated the remarkable toughness of the hinge on its recently released ultra-thin Find N5 book-style foldable.

The demonstration:

The video showcased four unfolded Find N5 devices supporting a dangling weight of 50 kg, which highlights the slim hinge’s exceptional strength and durability. However, it’s important to note that the test was conducted in a controlled setting. The devices were properly positioned to maximize their load-bearing capacity.

The video also showcased a person seated in the swing, which further emphasized the hinges’ robustness as the phones effortlessly withstood the stress. For those unfamiliar, the phone is just 4.2 mm thick when unfolded. Four of the hinges withstood 50kg of load, which, indeed, is impressive.

As for ingress protection, the Find N5 comes with IPX8 and IPX9 certifications, which means the phones can be submerged in clean water, and they can even withstand hot water jets, despite having moving parts that could serve as an entry point for the water to get inside. This places it among the most resilient foldable smartphones on the market. For the sake of comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is IP48 dust and water resistant, which means it can be submerged in water, but dust particles smaller than 1mm in diameter can still get inside the hinge. This isn’t the case for the latest Oppo foldable, at least on paper.

On the inside, the Find N5 packs the 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a 5600 mAh Si/C battery that supports 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. The crease has also improved as compared to last year, which makes it a great choice for those okay with the typical ColorOS experience.

Unfortunately, the Find N5’s availability remains limited. Currently, the device is only sold in a few Asia-Pacific countries.

The post Oppo showcases Find N5 hinge durability in impressive demonstration appeared first on Gizmochina.

Foldable phones have come a long way from their clunky, first-gen iterations. But let’s be real—most still come with trade-offs. They’re either too bulky, too fragile, or just not practical enough for everyday use. Oppo’s Find N5, however, feels like a major leap forward. With an ultra-slim design, a significantly improved hinge, a battery that actually lasts, and AI-driven multitasking, Oppo’s latest foldable might just be the one that makes foldables mainstream.

The Slimmest Foldable Yet—And It’s Actually Durable

At 8.93mm folded and 4.21mm when open, the Find N5 is the thinnest book-style foldable on the market. For comparison, the Honor Magic V3, the previous record-holder, was 4.35mm unfolded and 9.3mm folded. Oppo didn’t just shave off some millimeters, it re-engineered the whole hinge mechanism to get there.

The Titanium Flexion Hinge is 26% smaller than its predecessor while also being 36% more rigid, thanks to a mix of 3D-printed titanium alloy and ultra-high-strength steel. The result? A foldable that doesn’t feel like it’s going to snap in half. And if crease-free displays are your thing, Oppo claims the Find N5 is the first to get TÜV Rheinland’s Minimized Crease Certification, meaning you’ll see fewer screen distortions when watching videos or scrolling through apps.

Beyond just durability, the Find N5 is also built to handle the elements with an industry-leading IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance rating. This means it can withstand high-pressure water jets, submersion, and extreme conditions, making it one of the most resilient foldables available today.

A Foldable with a Real Battery

Battery life has been a major weak point for foldables, but Oppo is flipping the script with a 5600mAh silicon-carbon battery—the biggest in any foldable yet. That’s a huge jump from the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 4400mAh unit, meaning you won’t have to baby this thing through the day.

And when it does need a charge, Oppo’s 80W SuperVOOC wired and 50W AirVOOC wireless charging make sure you’re back to full power fast. No more foldable battery anxiety.

Displays That Actually Make Sense

On the inside, the Find N5 boasts an 8.12-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,100 nits. The outer screen is a 6.62-inch panel with a 20.7:9 aspect ratio, which makes it feel more like a regular phone when folded.

Both displays support the Oppo Pen stylus, which adds a level of versatility that’s rare in foldables. Whether you’re sketching, taking notes, or just scrolling through social media, the Find N5 makes it feel seamless.

Plus, Oppo threw in 2160Hz PWM dimming to reduce eye strain, which means less flickering and a better viewing experience for long screen sessions.

AI-Driven Multitasking That Doesn’t Feel Gimmicky

Powering the Find N5 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 3nm processor with 45% better AI efficiency and 40% faster GPU performance. But the real magic is Oppo’s software.

The new Boundless View feature lets you run up to three apps simultaneously in split-screen mode, making full use of the larger display. And if you’re a Mac user, Oppo’s O+ Connect lets you transfer files and remotely access your computer with minimal friction.

Cameras That Do More Than Just Look Good on Paper

Foldables usually compromise on cameras, but Oppo’s Hasselblad Master Camera System says otherwise. The Find N5 packs a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. AI-powered features like AI Telescope Zoom ensure lossless zoom, while AI Eraser, AI Unblur, and AI Clarity Enhancer clean up your shots automatically.

Translation: You’re getting flagship-level camera performance in a foldable that doesn’t feel like an afterthought.

The Future of Foldables?

If the Find N5’s battery wasn’t already a big enough flex, rumors suggest that Oppo and OnePlus are working on an 8000mAh silicon-carbon battery for future devices. That could be a game-changer, pushing battery life to new heights and making foldables even more practical.

Should You Care About the Oppo Find N5?

Foldables have always been cool, but the Find N5 makes them actually make sense. It’s thinner, stronger, lasts longer, and packs some genuinely useful AI and multitasking features. It’s not just a tech flex—it’s a device that could change how we use smartphones.

The big question: Is this the foldable that finally gets you to switch, or are you still waiting for something even bigger?

The post How Oppo’s Find N5 Could Finally Make Foldables Go Mainstream appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has expanded its O+ Connect feature to Mac with the launch of the Oppo Find N5, which offers seamless file sharing and a remote desktop experience for macOS users. Originally introduced with ColorOS 15 on the Oppo Find X8 series, O+ Connect made it easier for Oppo devices to interact with iPhones and iPads.

Now, Mac users can also enjoy smooth cross-device connectivity, making it easier to manage files and even control their Mac remotely.

Oppo’s O+ Connect for Mac: cross-platform made simpler than ever

With O+ Connect for Mac, Oppo Find N5 users can view, move, search, and delete files on their phone directly from their Mac or MacBook. Unlike traditional file transfer methods, this feature lets users access their phone’s files without copying them, which means you can browse through recent photos or documents on your Mac in real-time.

Notably, O+ Connect for Mac does not require your data to be uploaded to a server. All the data sharing happens between your phone and Mac and you only need to connect them to the same Wi-Fi network.

Aside from photos or videos, you can also access notes and documents without touching your phone. File transfers are also fast—Oppo claims that 100 photos can be moved from the phone to the Mac in just 8 seconds.

Remote Mac Control

O+ Connect for Mac isn’t just about file sharing—users can also control their Mac from this Android foldable. The foldable phone’s 8.12-inch inner display offers a full-screen macOS view, or users can fold the phone at 90 degrees for a more ergonomic experience:

• The top half of the screen displays the Mac desktop.
• The bottom half becomes a touchpad, supporting Apple’s multi-touch gestures.
• Alternatively, the bottom half can be used as a keyboard.

Oppo even showcased a split-screen mode, where users could drag a file from macOS and drop it directly into WhatsApp on their phone, making file-sharing incredibly intuitive.

Oppo has also announced an upcoming update for O+ Connect for Mac, which will allow users to access files stored on their Mac directly from the phone’s Files app—eliminating the need for a remote desktop session for basic file transfers.

While it may seem like just another feature on an Oppo phone—one of the Chinese brands with a much smaller market share than Apple or Samsung in the US and many other global markets—this is actually a significant development. It lets Apple users experience innovation without sacrificing the core functionalities of Apple’s ecosystem.

The post Oppo Find N5 is Here, and It’s Thinner Than Ever appeared first on Gizmochina.

Foldable smartphones have become the pinnacle of innovation, offering a perfect blend of portability and productivity. The Oppo Find N5 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 represent the latest advancements in this space, each bringing unique strengths to the table. With Oppo pushing the boundaries of battery life and performance, and Samsung refining its proven foldable design with better software support and stylus compatibility, choosing between them isn’t easy. This comparison dives into their differences, helping users decide which foldable best suits their needs.

Design and Display

The Oppo Find N5 boasts a sleek and ultra-thin design when unfolded, making it one of the slimmest foldable devices in the market. It features an 8.12-inch LTPO3 OLED panel with a high 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision, ensuring vibrant colors and smooth animations. The cover display is a generous 6.6 inches, maintaining the same quality and refresh rate.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, while slightly thicker when unfolded, retains Samsung’s signature foldable design, complemented by an Armor Aluminum frame for added durability. Its 7.6-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel offers a peak brightness of 2600 nits, making it exceptionally bright for outdoor use. Samsung also includes stylus support, a feature absent in the Oppo Find N5.

Overall, Oppo’s display might be slightly larger, but Samsung’s extreme brightness and stylus compatibility offer a more versatile experience.

Specifications 

The Oppo Find N5 is expected to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 3nm chipset featuring a 7-core CPU configuration, offering exceptional power efficiency. It comes with 16GB of RAM across all storage variants, making it a powerhouse for multitasking.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a proven performer with a more traditional 8-core CPU setup. While both devices use UFS 4.0 storage for blazing-fast read and write speeds, the Oppo Find N5 takes the lead with a massive 5600mAh battery, significantly larger than Samsung’s 4400mAh cell.

Oppo’s 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging far outpace Samsung’s 25W wired and 15W wireless charging speeds. This means Oppo’s device will last longer and charge faster, giving it a clear advantage in battery performance.

Camera

Oppo has a history of focusing on camera quality, and the Find N5 follows suit with its Hasselblad-tuned triple-camera system. The 50MP main sensor has a wider aperture and larger pixel size, potentially offering better low-light performance compared to Samsung’s 50MP shooter. Oppo also features a periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, while Samsung’s telephoto lens has a smaller sensor but offers similar zoom capabilities.

Samsung, however, takes the lead in video recording, with 8K video support and higher frame rate options. Additionally, the under-display selfie camera in the Z Fold 6 provides a more seamless viewing experience, whereas Oppo sticks to a traditional 8MP ultrawide selfie camera.

For photography enthusiasts, Oppo’s Hasselblad calibration might be appealing, but Samsung’s advanced video capabilities and seamless under-display camera give it an edge in certain areas.

Pricing

The Oppo Find N5 is rumored to launch at around $1600, making it a premium offering in the foldable space. Samsung, on the other hand, has priced the Galaxy Z Fold 6 at approximately $1018 in the U.S., making it significantly more affordable despite its premium features.

Given Oppo’s aggressive hardware specifications, the higher price point might be justified, but Samsung provides excellent value with software longevity and refined foldable technology.

If pricing is a major factor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the more cost-effective option, but Oppo’s larger battery and display might appeal to users willing to spend extra.

Conclusion

One of the standout features of the Oppo Find N5 is its massive 5600mAh battery, which is unparalleled in foldable phones. Its ultra-thin design and powerful charging speeds further set it apart.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6, however, shines with its stylus support, superior video recording, and under-display selfie camera, enhancing the overall user experience. Samsung’s commitment to software updates, with up to 7 major Android upgrades, ensures long-term usability, which Oppo does not yet match.

Ultimately, Oppo prioritizes raw power and battery life, while Samsung delivers a more refined, feature-packed experience.

Disclaimer: The Oppo Find N5’s specifications and features are based on leaks and speculation, as the device has not been officially launched yet. Final details may vary upon release.

The post Oppo Find N5 specifications leaked via TENAA listing appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Oppo recently confirmed that it will hold a launch event on Feb. 20 to unveil the Oppo Find N5 and the Oppo Watch X2. Today, the brand released a couple of posters to confirm the chipset, battery size, and DeepSeek AI integration. Here is a look at the details confirmed by the brand.

Oppo Find N5 chipset, battery, and AI integration

The Oppo Find N5 will debut as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered foldable phone. The Geekbench listing that emerged a couple of days back revealed that it will not feature the regular version of the chip, but it will arrive with a 7-core edition.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite 7-core edition features a 2+5-core configuration with two high-performance cores clocked at 4.32GHz and five efficiency cores at 3.53GHz. This version, identified internally as SM8750-3-AB, is a 7-core variant optimized for performance and efficiency.

The foldable phone packs a 5,600mAh battery, setting a new benchmark for foldable phone endurance. It’s a major upgrade compared to the previous generation Find N3, which was backed by a 4,805mAh battery. The N5’s huge battery is packed inside an ultra-thin chassis that measures around 9.2mm in the folded state.

As far as battery life is concerned, lab tests indicate that the Find N5 can record 1080p video in extreme cold (-15°C) for 4.2 hours, surpassing existing foldables that last 3.2 hours in similar conditions. Additionally, it supports 24 hours of video streaming and 18.47 hours of online meetings.

Oppo has integrated China’s very own DeepSeek-R1, an advanced AI model launched in January 2025, into the Find N5. This enables intuitive voice commands via the Xiaobu assistant, allowing users to perform tasks with a single phrase, and store results locally. DeepSeek-R1 is designed for natural interactions, complete functionality, and extensive real-world applications.

The Find N5’s global version, which is also set to debut on the same date, will be equipped with Google Gemini. Reports have revealed that the foldable phone will be rebranded as OnePlus Open 2 in markets such as the US, Europe, and India. Therefore, it will also feature the same chipset and battery.

The post Oppo Find N5 / OnePlus Open 2 has Snapdragon 8 Elite (7-core), 5,600mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo is gearing up to launch its next foldable, the Find N5, on February 20. The device is the successor to the Find N3, which debuted in 2023. Notably, the company skipped a foldable release in 2024. 

Instead, Oppo took the extra time to refine its approach—and it looks like that decision is paying off. If early buzz is any indication, the Find N5 could be Oppo’s most polished foldable yet, and maybe even one of the best foldables ever.

Unmatched Thinness and Premium Build

One of the most striking aspects of the Find N5 is its unprecedented thinness. Oppo has managed to engineer a foldable phone that, when unfolded, is barely thicker than a USB-C port. 

When unfolded, the device measures approximately 4.2 millimeters which makes it the world’s thinnest book-style foldable phone to date. And despite its slender form factor, the Find N5 doesn’t compromise on durability. 

The device features a 3D-printed titanium alloy hinge to maintain its structural integrity. It also boasts an array of water-resistance certifications, including IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9, which is a first for any foldable. 

A Creaseless Display

The Find N5 features an 8.12-inch LTPO OLED foldable display with support for 1 billion colors, Dolby Vision, and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. But Oppo’s biggest flex for Find N5 is a nearly invisible crease.

Foldable displays have long struggled with visible creases, but based on renders and live images so far, Oppo seems to have cracked the code. The crease is so subtle that you’d have to catch it under just the right lighting to notice it—and even then, you’d be nitpicking.

Snapdragon 8 Elite and Big Battery

Under the hood, the Find N5 is expected to debut with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, making it the first foldable to feature the new chip. It’s paired with 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, so performance should be buttery smooth.

However, Oppo is reportedly using a 7-core variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite instead of the standard 8-core version. According to Mishaal Rahman, this tweak could help reduce heat without sacrificing much in terms of performance.

Despite its slim design, the Find N5 is rumored to pack a massive 5,600mAh battery. Mind you, that’s bigger than what you’ll find in flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone 16 Pro Max. And that’s seriously impressive for a foldable that this slim. It will have support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging for battery top-ups. 

Notably, Oppo might be adding wireless charging compatibility with in-car systems from EV brands like BYD and NIO in China, making the Find N5 even more versatile.

Software and Cameras

As for the cameras, the foldable rear module will comprise a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and phase detection autofocus (PDAF), a 50MP periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. 

For selfies, the device features two 8MP front-facing cameras—one on the cover display and another on the inner display—for high-quality shots in both folded and unfolded states.

Oppo has done a stellar job bringing clever multitasking tricks to its foldables, making full use of that big inner display like no other. Now, I’m curious to see if can Oppo push things even further. We’re hoping to see Oppo build on its strengths and introduce new features that truly take advantage of the large canvas.

We’ll find out this when the reviews start rolling in, but one sure thing is that the Find N5 will ship with Android 15, running Oppo’s ColorOS 15 skin on top.

Final Thoughts

With its ultra-thin design, nearly invisible crease, flagship-tier performance, premium camera setup, and advanced software features, the Oppo Find N5 is looking to be the most refined foldable smartphone yet.

It is launching in China and select international markets on February 20, 2025, but there’s no word yet on a U.S. release. That said, history suggests there’s a good chance it could make its way stateside.

Oppo’s previous foldable, the Find N3, eventually landed in the U.S. as the OnePlus Open. If Oppo sticks to that playbook, we might see a rebranded Find N5 hit the American market later this year—likely as the OnePlus Open 2.

The post 5 Reasons Why the Oppo Find N5 Could Be the Best Foldable to Date appeared first on Gizmochina.

Several smartphones are expected to launch in February. However, we are only excited about some of them.

One of these devices is the most anticipated foldable of 2025. Another one is an annual Ultra phone from a popular Chinese brand.

The remaining models are mid-rangers. One of them is performance-focused, while the other is camera and design-oriented.

Let’s take a look at these products.

Upcoming Smartphones February 2025

Oppo Find N5

Oppo is gearing up to debut its 4th book-style foldable smartphone. The device is officially called Oppo Find N5 and it will succeed the Oppo Find N3 from late 2023.

As the new model is arriving more than a year after its predecessor, it will pack some serious upgrades. Thanks to official teasers and unofficial leaks, we know a lot about this product.

For starters, it will launch as the world’s thinnest foldable. It will be about as thin as the USB Type-C port when unfolded.

Despite its thinness, the phone is expected to house a large 5,700mAh battery. On top of that, it will support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging standards.

The Find N5 will come with not one but three IP ratings, namely IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9. Lastly, it is rumored to feature a 7-core variant of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be the company’s 6th Ultra smartphone. It will be more of a yearly upgrade model.

The device will retain the giant circular module from its forerunners, however, the sensors will be arranged differently. The quad-camera setup will include a 50MP Sony LYT-900 primary sensor, a 50MP Samsung JN5 ultrawide unit, a 50MP Sony IMX858 3x telephoto snapper, and a 200 Samsung HP9 4.3x periscope telephoto shooter.

It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Under the hood, it is expected to pack a 6,000mAh battery and support 90W wired as well as 50W wireless charging standards.

iQOO Neo 10R

The iQOO Neo 10R will be the latest mid-range powerhouse from the brand for India. It will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and is expected to start at around ₹30,000 in the country.

The handset is tipped to draw energy from a 6,400mAh battery. It is said to come with a 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary camera and an 8MP ultrawide unit.

Other anticipated features include a 1.5K 144Hz OLED display, up to 12GB + 256GB memory configuration, and Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15.

Vivo V50

The Vivo V50 is set to arrive alone this time around. The ‘Pro’ model is expected to be released sometime later.

The device is said to be a modified version of the Vivo S20. However, unlike the S20, the V50 will have Zeiss cameras.

The handset is anticipated to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip and a 6,000mAh battery. Despite a large-sized battery, the product may have a thickness of just 7.2mm.

The phone will sport three 50MP cameras: two on the rear (wide + ultrawide) and one on the front (with autofocus). Lasty, it will flaunt a 6.67-inch 1.5K 120Hz micro-curved OLED display.

The post Oppo Find N5 RAM, storage variants revealed; Global launch date confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo has officially announced the launch of its highly anticipated Find N5 foldable smartphone, set to debut on Feb. 20 in China. Alongside the announcement, the company released a few images showcasing the device’s sleek design and color options. While rumours have been circulating about the phone’s specifications, key details like display size and battery capacity had remained under wraps—until now. A leaked screenshot from the Find N5’s “About Phone” page has revealed some exciting details about the upcoming device.

Oppo Find N5 specifications (rumored)

The Oppo Find N5, which bears the PKH110 model number, will feature an 8.12-inch internal foldable display. However, there is no information available about the phone’s outer screen. Under the hood, it will be powered by the 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite, making it the first foldable phone to feature the said chipset.

The device will come equipped with a massive 16GB of RAM, complemented by 12GB of virtual RAM and 512GB of internal storage. While the Find N3 featured a 4,805mAh battery, the N5 will pack a much larger 5,600mAh battery that supports 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The device will run on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, offering the latest software experience.

On the camera front, the Find N5 will sport a triple rear camera setup, though the leaked details contradict earlier rumours. Instead of three 50-megapixel sensors, the phone will feature a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel secondary lens, and another 50-megapixel sensor, which could be a 3x periscope telephoto camera. For selfies, it will include two 8-megapixel cameras—one on the outer display and another on the internal foldable screen.

There seems to be a noticeable downgrade in the camera department, as the predecessor model features a 32-megapixel front camera, a 20-megapixel internal camera, and a 48-megapixel (main) + 48-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 64-megapixel (3x periscope telephoto) triple camera setup on the back.

While Oppo has confirmed that the Find N5 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, it has yet to confirm the other specs of the device. Therefore, it is advisable to approach the above leak cautiously.

After weeks of teasing, Oppo has finally confirmed the Oppo Find N5 launch date. The brand has confirmed that it will hold a launch event at 7 pm (local time) on Feb. 20 in China. Apart from the Find N5, the company will also unveil the Watch X2 smartwatch. Besides revealing the launch date, the official images of the foldable phone have also been released to confirm its design.

Oppo Find N5 design, color options

The images below show that the Oppo Find N5 will arrive in three colour options: Dusk Purple, Jade White, and Satin Black. As can be seen in the images above, the Find N5 sports a redesigned camera module compared to the Find N3.

The round camera module houses three cameras and an LED flash, with a Hasselblad logo in the centre. The images also confirm the presence of an alert slider and a side-facing fingerprint sensor. Apart from the official renders, two real-life images of the phone are also being circulated on Chinese social media platforms.

Oppo Find N5 specifications (rumoured)

As per reports, the Find N5 sports a slim profile of 9.2mm in its folded state. Under the hood, the device features the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and is likely to pack a 5,700mAh battery. It is expected to support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. The phone is likely to ship with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The Find N5 is expected to run on ColorOS 15-based Android 15 and offer DeepSeek-R1 integration. For photography, it is expected to feature an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. In terms of durability, the Find N5 is confirmed to offer up to IPX9-level water resistance.

The post Oppo Find N5 launch date confirmed; Design, color variants officially revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo launched the Find N3 in 2023 and took a year-long break before unveiling its successor. That gap wasn’t for nothing—Oppo has clearly been refining its foldable formula, and the results are finally coming to light.

The Find N5 is confirmed to be the world’s first foldable with IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance, the slimmest in its category while still packing a large battery, and the first foldable powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.

But the most ambitious claim from the Chinese brand is that its next foldable will have no visible crease when unfolded. The company already teased this in a side-by-side comparison against Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z Fold. Now, real-world images are backing up that claim.

The Find N5 has no crease

Leaked photos circulating on Weibo show the Find N5’s inner display with no crease in sight. And no, it’s not a case of clever angles or strategic lighting — another shot of the device inside its retail box still shows a completely smooth screen. That’s impressive, especially since foldable creases tend to be most visible when the display is off.

If Oppo has truly cracked the crease-free foldable, it would be a major achievement—especially for a company that’s still relatively new to the foldable game. 

As for specs, the Find N5 is expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite (7-core) chip, a 6.85-inch LTPO main display with 1.5K resolution, and a large cover screen. 

The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto camera. It will also support 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging, reverse charging, NFC, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Oppo has confirmed that the Find N5 will launch simultaneously in China and global markets, with an official debut expected within the next two weeks. If it really delivers a crease-free experience, this could be foldable to beat in 2025.

Oppo’s upcoming foldable smartphone, the Find N5, is set to receive a significant AI upgrade. According to the brand, the device will integrate DeepSeek-R1, an advanced AI model, enabling seamless voice activation and smart functionalities. This makes the Find N5 one of the first Oppo devices to support this AI assistant, offering users a more intuitive experience.

Oppo Find N5: DeepSeek-R1 integration

The Oppo Find N5 will come with built-in DeepSeek-R1 support, allowing users to activate and interact with the AI assistant through voice commands. This functionality will be accessible via Oppo’s Xiaobu Assistant, eliminating the need for additional downloads or complex setup processes. By integrating DeepSeek-R1, OPPO aims to enhance the hands-free experience, making AI assistance more accessible and efficient.

Beyond basic AI functions, DeepSeek-R1 on the Find N5 will also enable online search capabilities, allowing users to retrieve real-time information without manual input. Furthermore, the AI model can generate and export results as local files, making it easier for users to store and reference information when needed.

The Find N5 is poised to be the world’s thinnest foldable smartphone, combining cutting-edge hardware with advanced AI features. Its integration with DeepSeek-R1 positions it as a pioneering device in Oppo’s lineup, setting a new standard for foldable phones. First-batch buyers will be among the earliest to experience these AI-driven enhancements, marking a significant leap in smart device interactions.

Oppo is expected to unveil the Oppo Find N5 in the next week. The device will come with key features, such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, around 5,700mAh battery, 80W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and up to IXP9-level water resistance. It will come in three shades, such as black, white, and purple. The device is said to have an ultra-thin profile of 9.2mm in the folded state.

Oppo is yet to confirm the Find N5 launch date. Most likely, the foldable phone and the company’s next flagship smartwatch, the Watch X2, will be announced in the next week. Currently, both devices are available for pre-orders in China.

The post Oppo Find N5 to arrive with DeepSeek-R1 integration, support exporting results locally appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO is preparing to release its next-generation Find N5 foldable smartphone in February 2025, starting in China, where pre-booking is already available. The device has been teased by OPPO Chief Product Officer Pete Lau, who has already highlighted that the device features a no-crease main display.

In addition, Pete Lau has now confirmed that the device has an IPX6/IPX8/IPX9-rated body, improving its durability against water and everyday use. For those unaware, IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 are Ingress Protection (IP) ratings that indicate a device’s resistance to water intrusion. IPX6 means the device can withstand powerful water jets, IPX8 signifies protection against continuous submersion in water, and IPX9 denotes resistance to high-pressure and high-temperature water jets.

We already know that the Find N5 will be wider and longer than its predecessor, the Find N3, and will feature a slim design, measuring 4.2 mm thick when unfolded and 9.x mm when folded.

The so-called no-crease display, though not entirely crease-free as noted by netizens, still offers a significant improvement over the competition, effectively addressing a common issue in foldable smartphones.

In terms of specifications, the Find N5 is expected to include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite (7-core) chip, a 6.85-inch 1.5K resolution LTPO main display, and a large cover display. The camera setup will consist of a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto camera. The device will also support 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging, reverse charging, NFC, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Global certifications from authorities such as NBTC, and SIRIM indicate that the Find N5 will launch internationally after its Chinese debut. It will also be rebranded as the OnePlus Open 2 for global markets.

OPPO is also expected to introduce the OPPO Watch X2 smartwatch alongside the Find N5 this month. More details about the Find N5 are likely to be revealed in the coming days.

The post OPPO Find N5 Brings IPX9 Water Resistance to Foldables appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo is building hype for its next foldable, the Find N5, with a focus on its slim design. The company has already highlighted the device’s minimal crease in a recent social media post. And now, leaked renders from tipsters Evan Blass and Arsene Lupin offer our first real look at the design—along with its full-color lineup.

The images show the Find N5 in black, white, and purple. At first glance, the design looks like an evolution of the Find N3. It features a large circular camera module on the back with the Oppo logo beneath it. 

The front of the device, however, has a few notable changes.  The bezels around the screen are significantly slimmer, leaving almost no extra material next to the outer display. For comparison, Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold still has a chunk of material on the left side, but the Find N5 eliminates that entirely, letting the glass meet the hinge seamlessly.

What to expect

It’s clear now, that Oppo is chasing the title of the thinnest and most compact foldable yet with the Find N5. According to reports, it could measure just 4.2mm when unfolded.

The inner display is expected to be a 2K OLED panel, while the cover display is a conventional flat screen. Also, it could be the first foldable phone to debut with the 7-core variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

Despite a slim profile, the Find N5 might still pack a big battery inside — 5700mAh, according to rumors. And this will support 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. 

The confirmed details include an IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance rating, a Hasselblad-branded triple camera setup, a new white edition, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Like its predecessor, the Find N5 is expected to launch globally as the OnePlus Open 2, continuing Oppo’s strategy of bringing its foldables to North America under the OnePlus brand. The Open 2 might introduce some tweaks in design and color options—the first Open, for instance, came with a vegan leather back.

The post Oppo Find N5 leaks show off full color lineup appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The launch timeline for the Oppo Find N5 might have just been revealed. In a social media post, an executive of the company has confirmed that the upcoming flagship foldable phone will be launching later this month. So here’s what we know so far.

Oppo Find N5: When is being announced?

The latest information arrives from Zhou Yibao, head of the OPPO Find series, stated in a Weibo post that the Find N5 will be arriving in two weeks. Going by this, we can safely estimate that the Chinese tech giant plans on hosting a launch event for the premium foldable phone around the 19th or 18th of February 2025. This imminent launch makes sense considering how the pre-orders for the Oppo Find N5 and Watch X2 went live in China earlier today (6th February 2025).

Unfortunately, this was all the information that was shared by the company official. So we still don’t have an exact launch date, availability details, pricing, or news regarding its global release. But there are plenty of recent leaks and rumors that have confirmed a bunch of these key details. The Oppo Find N5 recently showed off its slim 4.8mm design in leaked images that compared it to its predecessor. When folded, the Find N5 measures around 9.2mm in thickness.

Oppo’s Find N5 could be the first foldable phone to debut with the 7-core variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The inner display is expected to be a 2K OLED panel, while the cover display is a conventional flat screen. A large 5,700mAh battery may power this device that may support 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. Other notable features include PX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance rating, Hasselblad branded triple camera setup, new white edition, and a side mounted fingerprint sensor.

While Oppo is actively teasing the arrival of the Find N5 in China, its teasers for the global market have yet to begin. It is unclear whether the Watch X2 will also debut alongside the N5 for the global market.

Oppo is working on its next generation of flagship foldable smartphone that will be called the Find N5. This model will likely make its debut in the brand’s home market of China, but ahead of its announcement, new images have surfaced that showcases the device’s ultra slim profile against its predecessor. So let’s check it out.

Oppo Find N5 faces off against the Find N3

In a tweet shared by known tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Chinese tech giant’s upcoming Find N5 model can be seen with the last gen Find N3 model. To recall, the Find N3 was praised for its thin design as well, measuring around 5.8mm. However, the newer Find N5 will reportedly measure only 4.8mm in terms of thickness. These figures are the width of these foldable phones when they are open.

This showcased the brand’s efforts in making the device a lot less bulkier compared to its predecessor. In total, the Oppo Find N5 has shaved off around 1.6mm to achieve this slimmer design, which can be clearly seen in the image shared on the tweet. When folded, the Find N3 measures around 11.7mm while the Find N5 is believed to measure around 9.2mm in thickness.

Based on previous rumors and reports, Oppo’s Find N5 could be the first foldable phone to feature the 7-core variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The primary display is expected to be a 2K OLED panel with nearly non-existant crease, while the outer panel is a flat screen. A sizeable 5,700mAh battery may power this device, which could support 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. Other notable features include PX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance rating, Hasselblad branded triple camera setup, new white edition, and a side mounted fingerprint sensor.

It is said to sport an 8-inch inner display with a 2K resolution with almost non-existent screen crease and a flay outer display for a seamless experience. The phone is said to house a 5,700mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The post [Update] Oppo Find N5 officially confirmed to launch globally in two weeks appeared first on Gizmochina.

After months of anticipation, Oppo is gearing up to unveil its next foldable flagship, the Find N5, in February or March. The device is set to be the world’s thinnest foldable and the first to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It will also boast IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 rating water resistance—again a first for a foldable. 

Adding to the list of details, Zhou Yibai, the product manager for Oppo’s Find series, has now confirmed that the Find N5 will come in a white color variant. The confirmation came through comments on his latest post on Weibo. Reports also suggest a black model could be in the lineup.

Zhou also clarified that the Find N5 will launch alongside the Oppo Watch X2. The smartwatch might have a blood pressure monitoring feature and a circular dial design, as revealed by the TENAA certification. 

Oppo Find N5 Specifications (Expected)

While it’s almost certain that the Oppo Find N5 will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, reports suggest it might use the 7-core variant of the SoC. The details come from Geekbench, where the device scored 3083 in single-core tests and 8865 in multi-core tests.

Despite its claim to fame as the “world’s thinnest” foldable, the Find N5 is rumored to house a sizeable 5,700mAh battery—a notable jump from the 4,805mAh battery in the Find N3, which weighs 239 grams. Charging won’t be a compromise either, with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.

On to the cameras, the Find N5 is said to house a triple-rear camera setup, including a periscope telephoto lens for zoom shoots. 

Other design elements might stay familiar. The foldable will retain a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, while both its internal and external screens will sport flat designs, like its predecessor.

The Oppo Find N5, set to debut in February, is one of the most anticipated foldable phones of the year. Touted as the world’s thinnest foldable phone, it will also be the first-ever foldable to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The brand is expected to unveil the Find X8 Ultra in March in China. A new leak on Weibo reveals that the Find N5 and Find X8 Ultra, which are already expected to feature a periscope telephoto camera, will also support macro shooting capabilities.

Find N5, X8 Ultra may have a telephoto macro camera

According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the Find N5 will arrive with customized ultra-thin flat displays on both the inner and outer screens for a slimmer design. Both the Find N5 and the upcoming Find X8 Ultra will be equipped with a telephoto macro camera.

The inclusion of macro shooting capitalise suggest that the Find N5 and X8 Ultra will be capable at capturing detailed close-ups of small subjects like flowers or insects while also offering telephoto zoom for distant shots.

As per reports, the Find N5 will have a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS support, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto. The X8 Ultra is said to have four 50-megapixel cameras, which will possibly include a one-inch primary camera, an ultra-wide lens, a 3x periscope telephoto camera, and a 6x periscope telephoto camera.

The Find X8 and X8 Pro that are already available in the market feature the Dimensity 9400 chipset. The upcoming Ultra model will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite onboard. Apart from the Find X8 Ultra, the Find X8 Mini equipped with the Dimensity 9400 chip is also expected to launch in March in China.

As per other reports, the brand is also said to be working on the Find X8S, which may debut with the new Dimensity 9400+ chip in the second quarter of this year. The Find X8 Ultra and X8S may likely remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

Okay, so foldable phones are already pretty cool, but Oppo is about to take things to a whole new level with its upcoming Oppo Find N5. It might be slimmer than Apple’s iPad Pro (M4), which, by the way, is already ridiculously thin at 5.1mm. For more context, the OnePlus Open/Oppo Find N3 measures 5.8 mm (unfolded) and the Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to measure 6.4 mm.

Slimmer than the iPad Pro M4

Oppo’s new foldable could be around 4mm thick when unfolded, making it the thinnest foldable phone in the world. The Honor Magic V3 measures 4.35mm when unfolded.

Oppo’s President of Overseas Marketing, Billy Zhang, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to tease the Find N5’s slim profile by comparing it to the iPad Pro M4. And this isn’t the first time Oppo has flexed about how thin this thing is. Earlier, they compared it to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is 8.25mm thick. I mean, come on, that’s almost twice as thick! Pete Lau, Oppo’s Chief Product Officer and OnePlus founder, even called it the “world’s thinnest foldable” in a post. So, yeah, they’re pretty confident about this one.

But all the focus isn’t actually concentrated on the thickness. This phone packs some serious specs too. According to rumors, it will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. So performance should be top-notch, comparable to the latest flagship bar phones. The display? A 6.85-inch LTPO screen with 2K resolution. The crease has also improved than the Find N3, noted a company official on a Weibo post.

And as for the camera, there’s a triple rear setup with Hasselblad tuning. A previously revealed hands-on image of the phone also shows a less protruding camera than the Find N3.

Despite the thin form factor, the battery is also rumored to be getting a big upgrade to 5,900mAh (up from 4,805mAh in the OnePlus Open). Plus, it’s expected to support 50W wireless charging and might even have an IPX9 rating for water resistance. So, not only is it slim and powerful, but it’s also built to last.

The post Oppo Find N5/OnePlus Open 2 is thinner than the 5.1mm iPad Pro (M4) appeared first on Gizmochina.

The foldable smartphone market has undergone a transformative journey, evolving from fragile novelties to robust, functional devices. By 2025, foldables have made significant strides, leading many to believe the long-standing hype surrounding them is finally justified. With advancements in design, durability, and affordability, foldables are carving a niche in the tech landscape.

The evolution of foldable smartphones

The foldable journey began in 2019 with devices like the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X, which, although innovative, had issues such as fragile screens, bulky designs, and high costs. These early models were more experimental than practical choices for everyday users.

By 2025, however, the narrative has shifted. Brands like Samsung, Huawei, Vivo Oppo, Xiaomi, Honor, and Google have invested heavily in overcoming these challenges. Foldables now boast enhanced durability, refined features, and prices that appeal to a broader audience. Technologies such as ultra-thin glass, crease-less designs, and water resistance have become standard, redefining the category.

Improved durability and cutting-edge designs

Early criticisms of foldables centred around their vulnerability to wear and tear. Screens scratched easily, and hinges failed with extended use. However, recent innovations have addressed these issues. Ultra-thin glass reinforced with strong coatings ensures screens are more resilient. Devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, Vivo X Fold 3 series, and Oppo Find N3 feature durable, smooth hinge systems.

Foldables are also sleeker and lighter, making them more practical for daily use. Structural improvements, including reinforced frames and adhesives, contribute to better build quality. Features like IP ratings for water and dust resistance are now common, making foldables more reliable and versatile than ever before. Initially, foldable phones faced prominent screen crease issues, which became more noticeable as the device aged and experienced more folds. However, brands have made significant strides in reducing the screen crease in newer models, so it is no longer a major concern.

Enhanced functionality for diverse needs

Foldables are no longer just eye-catching gadgets but offer functionality that sets them apart from traditional smartphones. Their larger fold-out displays are perfect for multitasking, gaming, and immersive media consumption. Features like split-screen multitasking and app continuity have been optimised, allowing seamless transitions between folded and unfolded modes.

The flip-style foldables, such as the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, Huawei Magic V Flip, Xiaomi Mix Flip, and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, have seen significant improvements in hinge durability, better cameras, and decreased screen creases. These updates have made it easier for users to perform multiple tasks without needing to open the phone, enhancing the overall user experience. The increase in external screen sizes on these devices allows for more functionality without unfolding, making them even more convenient for daily use.

Foldables come in different form factors to cater to various user preferences. Compact and stylish models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 appeal to trend-conscious users, while productivity-focused devices like the Huawei Mate X6 target professionals. This diversity ensures foldables can meet a range of needs, making them more than just a niche product.

Breaking the price barrier

Affordability has historically been a major roadblock for foldable adoption. Early models often cost upwards of $2,000, limiting their appeal to affluent consumers. However, by 2025, the landscape has shifted. Manufacturing advancements and competitive pricing have brought foldable smartphones closer to the cost of premium flagships. Devices like the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 and Vivo X Fold 3 are available at more reasonable prices.

Trade-in programs and carrier subsidies have further reduced the cost barrier, making foldables more accessible to a wider audience. As these trends continue, foldable adoption is expected to grow rapidly.

Final Thoughts

Looking ahead to this year, foldable phones are expected to become even thinner and lighter. The upcoming Oppo Find N5, measuring around 4.2mm in its unfolded state, is being touted as the world’s thinnest foldable phone. The Magic V3, currently holding the title of the lightest foldable phone at 226 grams, may soon see competition from upcoming models weighing under 220 grams.

While challenges remain, the rapid pace of innovation suggests that foldables are no longer a passing trend but a cornerstone of the smartphone industry. Foldables are finally fulfilling the hype for those seeking a blend of cutting-edge technology and practicality.

The post Is the foldable smartphone hype finally justified in 2025? appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Oppo Find N5 is slated to debut in February in China. Official teasers released by the brand have already provided a good idea of what to expect from the N5’s design. Now, a fresh set of images has appeared on Weibo, offering a glimpse of its front display and rear camera module.

Oppo Find N5’s new images reveal more details about its design

The new images showcase the thickness of the Oppo Find N5 in its folded state, which is said to be around 9.2mm. The company is touting it as the world’s slimmest foldable phone.

One of the images shows that the company has significantly reduced the camera bulge on the Find N5. The frosted right-angle middle frame has a pleasant texture. The side view image also reveals an alert slider on the left edge, while the right side features a volume rocker, and a power key integrated with a fingerprint sensor. On the front, it boasts a flat OLED panel.

There are two speakers on the top and bottom for stereo output. A microphone is seen on the bottom alongside the speaker, while the other half on the bottom has a USB-C port and a SIM slot, which is not visible because of the thumb placed on it.

The images of the OPPO Find N5 were leaked by automotive influencer Chen Zhen, who has a massive following of 9.638 million followers. He had previously leaked a video related to the Lynk & Co 900. Zhen was fined 5 million yuan for the leak ahead of the car’s official release. Although he has since deleted the Find N5 images he shared on Weibo, the leak caused a stir online. Some believe the images may have been borrowed from another blogger who had received a test unit under a confidentiality agreement, leading to the accidental leak.

There has been criticism of Zhen’s actions, with some arguing that it violates the confidentiality agreement, and calls for Oppo to enforce penalties as per the signed agreements. Some Weibo users have speculated that the leak could be a strategy to build hype, with suggestions that Oppo may have secretly collaborated with the influencer because of his huge fan base. Reports indicate that Oppo may have provided Zhen with the Find N5 device after the incident. Both Chen Zhen and OPPO have yet to comment on the matter.
