Oppo's new foldable phone is one of the thinnest I've seen - and I hope OnePlus and Samsung follow suit

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-06-17 19:00:19

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.
