The OPPO Find N5 will become the world’s thinnest foldable, as per OPPO’s CEO. Its thinness appeared online before, and now the chief of OPPO Find series, Zhou Yibao, has decided to add more fuel to the fire. He shared images that tease the Find N5’s unreal thinness, while an unexpected water rating has also been reaveled.
The OPPO Find N5 will offer unreal thinness and unexpected water resistance rating
If you check out the four images in the gallery below, you’ll see what we’re dealing with. The phone, in its unfolded form, is stacked next to two coins, four credit cards, and an iPhone. Needless to say, it will be immensely thin.
The coins and credit cards are very revealing, but the fact that this phone will essentially be half the thickness of the iPhone (we’re presuming that the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max are used here), is truly stunning.
If we do some math, that puts its thickness when unfolded at 3.5-4mm. As a reminder, the HONOR Magic V3 is the thinnest book-style foldable these days, it’s 4.35mm thick when unfolded. The OPPO Find N3 aka OnePlus Open, is 5.8mm thick when unfolded. So this will be quite the difference.
All of this points to true thinness when folded too
Considering how thin the phone will be when unfolded, it can’t exactly be thick when folded either, can it? That phone will definitely feel like a regular slab phone in the hand when folded.
Another detail that Yibao revealed is the phone’s water rating. As a reminder, the OPPO Find N3 aka OnePlus Open offered only IPX4 rating for splash resistance. Well, the OPPO Find N5 will arrive with an IPX8 and IPX9 certification.
In other words, that means that this phone will become the only foldable to offer protection against high temperature and pressure water jets. Needless to say, that’s quite surprising, but certainly a welcomed addition.
The OPPO Find N5 will become official next month, though we still don’t know the exact date.
