Sleek Revolution: Oppo Find N5’s Jaw-Droppingly Thin Design

The Slimmest Foldable Phone Yet? Oppo Find N5 Teaser Images Reveal Its Svelte Design

The Oppo Find N5, also known as the OnePlus Open 2, is likely to be the slimmest foldable phone in the market, judging by the official teaser images. According to the images shared by the Find series’ project manager Zhou Yibao, the phone’s thickness is limited only by the need for a USB-C charging port.

A Slimmer Alternative

The images show the opened device next to two coins, with the thickness looking identical. Another image appears to show the phone is even thinner than four bank/ID cards. When compared to an iPhone 16 Pro, the Oppo Find N5 looks remarkably slim.

The Charging Port Conundrum

In fact, the only way to make the phone even thinner is to remove the charging port entirely. While wireless charging is an option, it’s not a viable solution for now.

Next-Generation Waterproofing

The Oppo Find N5 will boast next-generation waterproofing via the IPX9 standard, which offers protection against water of higher temperatures and higher-pressure jets. This is a significant upgrade from the IPX8 resistance found in most phones.

A Successor to the Find N3

The Oppo Find N5 will succeed last year’s brilliant Find N3, which is one of our favorite foldables. Our reviewer praised the Find N3 as the "best book-style foldable you can get today, with top-tier hardware packed into an elegant package."

Release Date

The new phone is set to be released in China in February.

What Does This Mean for Book-Style Phones?

The trend in smartphones is to make them more pocket-friendly. Book-style foldables have helped and hindered this goal. The Oppo Find N5 may be the phone that gives you all the positives of a foldable without the boxier thickness.

Expert Opinion

"This is what book-style phones need," says Chris Smith, our expert reviewer. "The trend in smartphones for the last few years has been to make them more pocket-friendly. The first few generations of foldable phones have both helped and hindered that goal. Thanks to book-style foldables, you can essentially fit a small tablet in your pocket now. The downside is these phones tend to protrude from the pockets a little more than the traditional candy bar handset. It now looks like the Oppo Find N5 / OnePlus Open 2 will be the phone that gives you all the positives of a foldable without the boxier thickness."
