Oppo is gearing up to make waves with the introduction of their much-anticipated foldable phone, the Find N5, which is set to be a trailblazer in its category. Following in the footsteps of the successful Find N3, the Find N5 promises to take innovation to new heights, especially with its renowned water resistance capabilities.
As the industry prepares for its launch, exciting details are emerging about this remarkable device. Oppo has highlighted its exceptional water resistance features, boasting impressive ratings of IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9. These ratings signify that the phone can withstand various water exposure levels, making it one of the most resilient foldable phones in the market when it comes to water protection. Zhou Yibao, Product Manager for Oppo’s Find series, proudly announced that the Find N5 is set to be the only folding flagship with such comprehensive waterproof capabilities.
An intriguing promotional video shared on Weibo showcases the phone’s ability to shoot videos underwater. A daring test at depths ranging from 6 to 8 meters demonstrated the phone’s functionality and durability as it successfully captured videos beneath the water’s surface. This sets a new benchmark for other foldable smartphones, which typically offer limited water resistance.
In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 can only withstand water up to 1.5 meters deep for 30 minutes, thanks to its IP48 rating. Similarly, the Honor Magic V3 holds an IPX8 rating. The Find N5, therefore, stands out as a formidable contender, poised to take the crown for water resistance.
While the exact launch date for the Find N5 remains under wraps, industry insiders predict a March debut in China. Simultaneously, its global counterpart, the OnePlus Open 2, is likely to be showcased at the prestigious Mobile World Congress in Barcelona around the same time.
Adding to the excitement, the Find N5 has been spotted on Geekbench with a powerful 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Leaked images also hint at a design influenced by the OnePlus 13, with notable improvements to the inner display’s crease and an enhanced camera module.
As anticipation builds, the Oppo Find N5 is not just promising a revolution in foldable technology, but also an unparalleled mobile experience that fuses cutting-edge design with unmatched water resistance.
