OPPO Find N5 review: The best foldable I've ever used

OPPO Find N5 next to other foldables.

Foldables have come a long way in the last two years; the Magic V3 and X Fold3 Pro combine great cameras with standout hardware package, and OPPO is looking to outmatch that with the Find N5. The foldable has the distinction of being the thinnest around, and at 4.21mm when unfolded, it is 0.14mm thinner than the Magic V3 — which I didn't think was possible.

While I didn't get to test the Find N3, I used the OnePlus Open (which is just a rebrand of the N3) extensively, and the Find N5 builds on that foundation while delivering better cameras, brighter panels both inside and out, and a bigger battery. The ultra-thin design basically means that the Find N5 feels like a regular phone most of the time — it is just 0.4mm thicker than the Pixel 9 Pro XL when folded — and it makes using the device an absolute delight.

It has a new hinge mechanism that uses titanium, and while that's undoubtedly a good thing, what I like about the change is that the crease is barely visible this time. That was the case on the Open too, but the Find N5 takes things to a whole new level, and honestly, I can say the same in a lot of other areas. The device even gets IPX9 ingress protection and a massive 5600mAh silicon battery that lasts more than any other foldable I used until now, and there's 50W AirVOOC alongside 80W charging.

The Find N5 isn't just a great foldable — it's one of the best Android phones you can buy in 2025.
