Officially, OPPO has announced the launch date of much-talked foldable smartphone OPPO Find N5. The company claims OPPO Find N5 will be the thinnest foldable smartphone in the world. It also adds that OPPO will be launching the OPPO Watch X2 at the same event. Here's everything you need to know about the OPPO Find N5: release date, design, specifications, and more.
OPPO Find N5 Launch Date and Event Details
OPPO Find N5 is to be globally unveiled on February 20, 2025. This is in a Singapore launch event. The launching event is said to begin at 7 PM SST or Singapore Standard Time and would thus begin at 4:30 PM IST or Indian Standard Time. It will announce in minute detail about the device's design, features, and price.
Design and Colour Options
The OPPO Find N5 will be available in three stunning colour options:
Jade White (glass back)
Satin Black (glass back)
Twilight Purple (leather back) (Note: The global teaser does not showcase the Twilight Purple variant.)
The OPPO Find N5 has also been the epitome of design, and this is according to Pete Lau, OPPO's Chief Product Officer, as he shared a post comparing the nearly invisible crease of the device to that of a competitor's foldable phone. It indeed shows huge improvement in display fold technology.
Durability and Water Resistance
The OPPO Find N5 will be fitted with an advanced 3D printed titanium alloy hinge, said to be much stronger and lighter than its competitors. The gadget is also touted to have IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9, industry-leading water resistance ratings that promise better protection against water damage.
OPPO Find N5 Specifications
A leaked screenshot of the ‘About Phone’ section of the OPPO Find N5 has revealed some key hardware specifications. This seems to be shaping up as one powerhouse in the foldable smartphone market, boasting quite a few impressive upgrades from the predecessor. On the display, the Find N5 comes with an expansive 8.12-inch foldable inner screen to deliver the maximum immersive media and multitasking experience. But as of now, OPPO is tight-lipped about details for the cover screen, thus adding mystery around the outer display of the Find N5.
Under the hood, the Find N5 is the first smartphone to introduce with a 7-core variant of Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, promising top-tier performance with efficiency. The new chipset promises to run as smoothly as possible across all applications, including gaming and streaming, as well as productivity-related work.
OPPO isn't holding back on memory and storage. The device will feature 16GB of RAM, coupled with an additional 12GB of virtual RAM, making it a multitasking beast. 512GB of internal storage is also included to accommodate all of the apps, photos, videos, and so much more that users want.
Major benefits for the battery department. The Find N5 comes with a massive 5,600mAh battery, a significantly larger offering compared to the 4,805mAh unit that is featured on the OPPO Find N3. It boasts 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging, promising lightning-fast and very convenient power-ups. The software front promises a polished, feature-rich ColorOS 15 built atop Android 15.
The cameras, while details are still scarce, seem to be slightly downgraded from what was expected earlier. The device is said to have a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP secondary camera (details unknown), and a 50MP telephoto periscope lens, which should offer 3x optical zoom. With cutting-edge hardware, a large foldable display, and top-tier performance, the OPPO Find N5 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting foldable smartphones of the year.
OPPO Find N5 to Launch as OnePlus Open 2?
There is a rumor that the OPPO Find N5 could be released internationally as the OnePlus Open 2. This is because OPPO had previously used a tactic in which the OPPO Find N3 was sold for international markets as the OnePlus Open.
To recall, the OnePlus Open in India launched with a price tag of Rs 1,39,999 in 2023. Applying the same pricing strategy, the OnePlus Open 2, rebranded from the OPPO Find N5, may hit the market in the same range or higher.
The OPPO Find N5 is one of the most impressive foldable smartphones yet. With its ultra-slim design, upgraded hinge mechanism, water resistance, and powerful hardware, it is sure to give tough competition to other foldable smartphones in the market. More details, including pricing and availability, will be unveiled at the global launch event on February 20, 2025. Stay tuned for the latest updates regarding the OPPO Find N5 and OnePlus Open 2 with the official date of launch not far away.
