Launched in October 2023, the Oppo Find N3 and its rebranded version, the OnePlus Open, have received some backlash for not meeting expectations. Even though Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 later that same month, both foldable devices are powered by the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which makes them feel outdated when compared to current flagship models. Reports suggest that the upcoming Find N5/OnePlus Open 2 will be one of the first foldable phones to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Here’s a summary of what we know about the new Oppo/OnePlus foldable so far.
Naming and Rebranding of the Oppo Find N5
There is currently no definitive information on the name of Oppo’s next foldable device. The number “4” is viewed as unlucky in many Asian cultures, which might lead the company to name its next product the Find N5 instead of the Find N4. The N5 is anticipated to launch in markets like China and various Southeast Asian countries, while it may be branded as the OnePlus Open (the first foldable from OnePlus) in regions such as India and the United States.
Consequently, it seems likely that the Find N5 will debut in China and other Asian regions, potentially being known as the OnePlus Open 2 in India and the US. Currently, there is no clear indication whether these Oppo/OnePlus devices will be made available in European markets.
Future Prospects for the Find N5
Oppo has yet to officially acknowledge the Find N5. The company is reportedly concentrating on the launch of the Find X8 series, which is expected to occur on October 21. It is likely that official information about the Find N5 may be revealed in December, with rumors possibly emerging a few weeks ahead of the announcement. As excitement grows, consumers are eager to see how Oppo will tackle the challenges associated with naming and marketing its forthcoming foldable device.
