And it could be here as soon as Q1 2025
Zhou Yibao, product manager of the Oppo Find series, announced on Weibo that the Find N5 will launch in two weeks from now — probably on February 19 or 20. However, he didn’t specify an exact release date. In another post, Yibao confirmed the phone will launch globally and not be limited to China. That would be a welcome move, as outside of China, Oppo only launched its last foldable — the Find N3 — in Singapore and selected other Asian markets.
While an official US launch seems unlikely, the foldable should eventually arrive in the US as the OnePlus Open 2. BBK group is also likely to prioritize the OnePlus Open 2 in international markets over the Find N5, so the latter’s international launch could be limited to a handful of Asian and European markets.
Oppo’s official handle also posted a video on Weibo, again teasing the Find N5’s thin design and comparing it against the Find N3.
On X, Oppo’s Chief Product Officer, Pete Lau, revealed that the company has reduced the motherboard length by 31.4% using 20 new materials. This optimization created more internal space, allowing room for a larger battery.
Oppo’s next foldable could make foldables go mainstream
The Oppo Find N5 is ready to take the crown of the world’s thinnest foldable, with a 4mm waistline in an unfolded state. The device would be almost as thin as its USB-C port and feature an IPX9 rating — the latest being another first for a foldable. For comparison, the Honor Magic V3 Fold is currently the world’s thinnest foldable and measures 4.3mm when unfolded.
Despite the thin design, the Oppo Find N5 (and the OnePlus Open 2) will support 50W wireless charging, fixing one of the biggest flaws of its predecessor.
With all these upgrades, the Oppo Find N5 and its OnePlus counterpart, the Open 2, are shaping up to be the most exciting foldables of the year.
