Live photos of the Oppo Find N5 circulating online point to a China launch in February 2025. A GizmoChina report notes that the images, shared on Weibo, show the new foldable beside its predecessor, the Find N3, illustrating how Oppo is evolving the family’s design language while keeping familiar cues. The visuals imply a deliberate step forward in both aesthetics and engineering, with fans closely watching how the N5 will stack up against rivals in the foldable segment. (GizmoChina)
These shots reinforce the expectation that the Find N5 will target world‑leading thinness among foldables, all while preserving the distinctive large circular camera array that arrived with the N3. Sensor placement and the LED flash have shifted, giving the device a more streamlined silhouette. The camera layout mirrors the OnePlus 13 in spirit, placing a flash in the lower right corner and a periscope telephoto module in the upper right. The N3’s flash lived outside the main camera block, which made the newer design feel more cohesive and compact. Fans and analysts alike are weighing how this rearrangement might affect heat, battery life, and daily usability. (GizmoChina)
Early data suggests the N5 could measure about 4 millimeters in thickness when open and around 9 millimeters when folded. Comparisons circulating online place the Find X8 at roughly 7.9 millimeters, which helps frame Oppo’s ambition to deliver a notably slimmer form factor without sacrificing performance. These numbers reflect the engineering challenge of folding tech, where every millimeter influences cooling, hinge durability, battery capacity, and the overall grip users experience. (GizmoChina)
On the hardware front, the N5 is said to feature an IPX8‑rated titanium body, a Snapdragon 8 Elite class processor, and a sizable roughly 5,700 mAh battery paired with 50W wireless magnetic charging. The internal panel is expected to render at 2K resolution, while the camera stack centers on a 50 MP main sensor and a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens, complemented by 3 to 4 other lenses to deliver versatile optical zoom. These specs point to a flagship posture, aiming to balance image quality, battery endurance, and the realities of a thinner chassis. (GizmoChina)
Beyond China, the Find N5 is planned for multiple Southeast Asian markets as well. The device has already cleared several regulatory hurdles, including an NBTC certification from Thailand, signaling a broader regional push. There are strong signals that the device could arrive in other regions under the OnePlus Open 2 banner, particularly in the United States, Europe, and India, reflecting Oppo and OnePlus’ continued collaboration on product design and market strategy. Such a branding approach would align the foldable with a broader ecosystem while preserving regional naming preferences. (GizmoChina)
In related tech news, Samsung is reportedly preparing a cheaper variant of its flagship Galaxy Tab S10 tablet, a development that underscores how major makers are balancing cost and premium features amid a crowded, highly competitive tablet and foldable landscape. (Industry press)
