- Oppo continues to tease Oppo Find N5
- The phone will be the OnePlus Open 2 globally
- It is significantly thinner than an iPad pro
Oppo continues to tease the impending arrival of Oppo Find N5 – which is most likely to be renamed the OnePlus Open 2 outside China – and the latest excerpt of promotional material gives us more an idea of how thin this foldable will be.
Oppo President of Overseas Marketing Billy Zhang shared an image (via notebookcheck) showing Oppo Find N5 up against the M4 iPad Pro launched by Apple in May 2024 – and you can see the difference in thickness from cover to back.
In comparison, the iPad Pro model in question is 5.1 mm front and rear if we talk about the 13-inch version (which we assume is the case). Oppo Find N5 (or OnePlus Open 2) is noticeably thinner than when opened.
There has been plenty of speculation that the OnePlus Open 2 would actually be the thinnest foldable to date when it shows up. Given that the Honor Magic V3 is currently the thinnest foldable 9.2 mm when closed, so the goal is to beat.
Upgrades all the way
I can’t believe how slim our latest foldable is. We have pressed our technique to ensure an optimal experience, folded or unfolded, and I can’t wait for users to get their fingers in it next month. #Oppofindn5 pic.twitter.com/8J0ZEO2GEFJanuary 24, 2025
Oppo has previously shared promotional images showing the thinness of the upcoming foldable, and it certainly looks like a record breaker. We will have to wait and see if this has any influence on the handset’s mechanisms and durability.
Being a super thin can also affect the battery life offered by the OnePlus Open 2, although foldable phones at least have more surface area to fit battery packs in – and the rumor is that this model will have a particularly large battery.
We also expect the handset to come with improved waterproofing and Snapdragon 8 elite chipset from Qualcomm, which should mean a significant boost in the performance of the first OnePlus foldable, launched in October 2023.
Go to our OnePlus Open review and you will see that we are big fans of the original OnePlus foldable so we are excited to see what’s coming next time. An official launch date has not been announced, but Oppo has said it will be sometime in February.
