Oppo Find N5 hands-on

11 February 2025

The Oppo Find N5 is launching on February 20 and we were able to spend a bit of time with the phone to bring you our quick first impressions.

Oppo says that the upcoming Find N5 is the thinnest book-style foldable phone (when folded) in the world. Unfolded, Huawei's tri-fold Mate XT may have it beat, but folded it's no contest - the Oppo wins.

The Find N5 isn't fragile, though. Oppo used titanium for the impressive hinge and aluminum for the frame. To put their money where their mouth is, Oppo showed us the Find N5 holding its own under a 20kg kettlebell. The phone will also have IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance!

The phone will launch in Satin Black and Jade White in most places, but there is a vegan leather Dusk Purple model for the Chinese market that looks nice.

As its name suggests, the Satin Black model has a smooth finish.

Buttons-wise, the Find N5 follows in the footprint of its predecessor - you get a textured mute slider in the upper right corner.

Thinness is hard to translate in photos, but just look at how close to the phone's edge its USB-C port is. We can't see phones becoming much thinner than this while keeping the port intact.
