Oppo’s next book-style foldable is coming soon, according to a now-deleted post by prolific Chinese leakster Digital Chat Station. This will be called Find N5 and it will be the successor to the Find N3 from last October.
The company will skip “4” most likely because of tetraphobia. The Find N5 will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. It will have a “2K+” inner folding screen, a 50 MP main camera using a Sony sensor, a periscope telephoto camera as well, and a circular camera island.

The phone will be just over 9mm thick, which makes it very close to Honor’s Magic V3, the current record holder for world’s thinnest foldable smartphone. Whether the Find N5 can snatch its title remains to be seen, but even if it doesn’t, under-10mm thickness for a foldable is still very impressive.
The Find N5 is also rumored to have improved water resistance (its predecessor was only IPX4 rated for splash resistance), and a three-stage alert slider. The Find N5 is allegedly due to be released between January and March. It is likely to be launched only in China, and arrive in international markets rebranded as OnePlus Open 2, in which case all of the above information obviously also applies to that model.
