2025 has been another top-quality year for smartphones. Even if most of the kind words get lobbed at the same brands, there have been some awesome devices launched by companies from across the globe. And as a result, I have found that my no. 1 phone of 2025 is not from the oft-praised Samsung or Apple.
It is the Oppo Find N5, a foldable phone that launched early this year, albeit in select markets excluding the U.S. It is perhaps weird to still be talking about a foldable launched in February when so many other good foldables launched this year, especially when many of those other devices are easy to buy. But to me, the Find N5 's quality still stands up.
