  • Oppo Cancels Find N5 Flip and Delays Find N5 Launch – Report

    Oppo Cancels Find N5 Flip and Delays Find N5 Launch – Report

    Last week, reports surfaced indicating that Oppo and Vivo might be stepping back from the foldable smartphone market. However, a recent statement from an Oppo spokesperson contradicted this speculation.

    Oppo’s Future in Foldable Phones

    Now, fresh reports suggest that Oppo is looking towards releasing a foldable phone in 2024, albeit on a delayed timeline compared to their initial plans.

    Oppo Find N3 Flip (Review)

    According to tipster @chunvn8888 on X (formerly Twitter), the development of Oppo Find N5 Flip has been halted. Additionally, the launch of Oppo Find N5 has been pushed from Q2 to Q4. The decision was influenced by sluggish sales and an excess inventory of the Find N5 model.

    Research firm TrendForce has pointed out that both Oppo and Vivo are indicating a pause on clamshell foldable smartphone launches in 2024. Instead, they are shifting focus towards introducing book-style horizontal foldable phones.

    As per TrendForce’s analysis, the production costs associated with clamshell vertical foldable devices are proving to be economically challenging for these Chinese brands, impacting their overall profitability. Despite the success of the Oppo Find N3 Flip as the top-selling clamshell foldable in China in 2023, the brands are reassessing their strategies.

    We were particularly impressed by the Oppo Find N3 Flip, especially its exceptional camera system designed for a clamshell foldable phone.

    It is disappointing to hear that there won’t be a successor to this model in the current year. However, there is a possibility that the lineup could return in the future. The fate of Oppo’s vertical foldable phones remains uncertain at this point.

    Fans of large-screen horizontal foldable smartphones can take solace in knowing that the launch of Oppo Find N5 is reportedly postponed rather than canceled. This also suggests that the anticipated OnePlus Open 2 might be a rebranded version of the Find N5 tailored for specific markets.

    Pricing and specifications details are not provided in the original text.

    OPPO F25 Pro: Key Specs Confirmed, Pricing Teased Before Next Week’s Launch

    Earlier today, OPPO confirmed the launch date of the F25 Pro smartphone in India. The upcoming F-series offering is set to arrive as the successor to the OPPO F21 Pro that launched way back in 2022. The company did not release a Pro variant of the F23. Now, ahead of next week’s launch event, OPPO has revealed the core specifications of the forthcoming F25 Pro.

    OPPO F25 Pro Key Specifications Revealed

    The OPPO F25 Pro is said to be the slimmest 5G smartphone measuring 7.54mm while having a flat frame. It features an IP65 dust and water-resistant rating. The device is already confirmed to come in Lava Red and Light Blue colors. The former will have OPPO’s Glow finish that will transition the burgundy color to deep sunset hues. The back panel sports a rectangular island housing two rings accommodating three camera sensors.

    Display and Performance Features

    The OPPO F25 Pro boasts a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It has a 93.4 percent screen-to-body ratio and a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout. The upcoming smartphone will support 67W fast charging.

    Camera Capabilities

    On the optics front, the OPPO F25 Pro features a 64MP OV64B 1/2 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro unit. There is a 32MP selfie snapper on the front. The device is confirmed to offer 4K video recording on both the front and rear cameras. This is also touted to be the first in the segment.

    OPPO says that the OPPO F25 Pro promises to offer the ultimate smartphone experience in the sub-Rs 25,000 price segment. Hence, we can expect the device to carry a price tag closer to Rs 25,000.

    Oppo F25 Pro 5G: Launch Date, Design, and Amazon Availability Confirmed

    For the past few weeks, the rumor mill has been speculating that India will soon receive an F-series Oppo phone. Today, the brand officially confirmed that the Oppo F25 Pro 5G will be unveiled on Feb. 29 in India. Its microsite available on Amazon has revealed its design and color options.

    Oppo F25 Pro 5G Design

    The official images available on the microsite confirm that the Oppo F25 Pro 5G will feature a punch-hole display, which seems to be integrated with a fingerprint sensor. The back panel of the device has a triple-camera unit and an LED flash. It will be sold in two shades, maroon and light blue. The final marketing shades of these variants are not known yet.

    Oppo F25 Pro 5G Specifications (Rumored)

    Oppo is yet to reveal any information about the specifications of the Oppo F25 Pro 5G. Rumors surrounding the device claim that it could be a tweaked or rebranded version of the Oppo Reno 11F 5G, which is available in some Southeast Asian markets.

    The Reno 11F 5G has a 6.7-inch Amole display that offers an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Panda glass protection. The device runs on the Dimensity 7050 chipset and ColorOS 14-based Android 14.

    Oppo Reno 11F 5G

    The Reno 11F 5G ships with 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging. It has a 32-megapixel camera on the front, and its back panel has a 64-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

    At present, there is no word on the price of the Oppo F25 Pro 5G. Considering that the Oppo F23 5G was priced at Rs 24,999 ($301) in India last year, it is likely that the F25 Pro could be priced under Rs 30,000 ($360). It is also unclear whether the brand plans to launch a non-Pro version of the F25.
