Oppo’s Find N5, expected to debut in February, is being hailed as the slimmest foldable phone in the world. When folded, this device is reported to have a thickness of less than 9.2mm. However, a recent post on Weibo by notable tipster Digital Chat Station indicates that it may not be the lightest foldable device on the market.
Weight Considerations for the Find N5
Last year, the Vivo X Fold 3 was launched and is currently available only in China, weighing in at 219 grams, making it the lightest foldable phone globally. The Weibo update hints that the Find N5 may not surpass the X Fold 3’s weight, thereby missing the chance to claim the title of the lightest foldable phone.
Despite this, the Find N5 is anticipated to hold a 5,700mAh battery, potentially making it lighter than the Find N3, which weighs 239 grams and contains a smaller 4,805mAh battery. Recently, a user on Weibo inquired if the Find N5 would weigh under 230 grams, to which Oppo’s Find Product Manager, Zhau Yibao, gave a cheeky reply, suggesting that the N5 might indeed weigh less than 230 grams, making it a serious contender for the lightest foldable phone title.
Features and Design Elements
Returning to DCS’ Weibo post, it was also mentioned that the Find N5 will keep the side-mounted fingerprint sensor seen in the N3. Additionally, the device will have a flat design for both its internal and external screens.
Underneath, the Find N5 will sport the 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, along with support for 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. On the camera side, it will feature a triple-camera system, including a periscope telephoto lens, enhancing its photography capabilities.
Durability and Model Variants
In terms of its build, the Find N5 will integrate a 3D-printed titanium alloy hinge and is expected to have IPX6, X8, and X9 ratings for water resistance. The standard model of this device is identified by the PKH110 model number. There are also rumors of a satellite communication version, which will carry the PKH120 model number.
