Oppo Find N5: Ultra-Thin Foldable Phone Redefines Water Resistance as OnePlus Open 2 in US

Oppo Unveils Ultra-Thin Foldable Phone, Challenges Industry Standards

Oppo has set a new benchmark in the foldable smartphone market with its upcoming Find N5, boasting a thickness comparable to a USB-C port. The device, expected to be rebranded as the OnePlus Open 2 for its US release, has been the subject of teasers on Chinese social media, highlighting its remarkable thinness and water resistance capabilities.

Product manager Zhou Yibao shared images showcasing the Find N5’s slim profile, revealing that when unfolded, it measures approximately half the thickness of an iPhone 16 Pro Max. The device’s svelte design pushes the boundaries of smartphone engineering, with its thickness reportedly rivaling that of two Chinese yuan coins, four ID cards, or 39 sticky notes.

Oppo claims the Find N5 is the thinnest foldable phone to date, likely measuring close to 4mm and potentially surpassing the Honor Magic V3. The company notes that the main limitation preventing further reduction in thickness is the size of the charging port itself.

In addition to its groundbreaking design, the Find N5 boasts impressive water resistance credentials. With an IPX9 rating, the device can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure water jets. It also carries IPX8 and IPX6 ratings for submersion and lower-temperature water jets, respectively. However, unlike the OnePlus 13 with its IP69 rating, the Find N5 lacks official dust protection certification.

The Find N5 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Find N3, which was launched in Western markets as the OnePlus Open. Industry experts anticipate that this new model could provide formidable competition for Samsung and Google in the foldable smartphone segment.

As the China launch approaches next month, tech enthusiasts and consumers alike eagerly await further details on this ultra-thin, feature-packed foldable device. The Find N5’s innovative design and specifications signal a potential shift in the foldable phone landscape, challenging established players and pushing the boundaries of smartphone technology.
