Oppo is preparing to make his debut to date his most ambitious folding phone, with the international launch of research N5 scheduled for February 20. However, I have already got my hands on one.
This means that we can have an early overview of the most recent Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold of the company, as well as to speculate on the way in which this last entry of the N Find n series will influence the OnePlus Open 2 highly anticipated.
As you can see on the above trailer, Oppo is not exactly shy about the existence of N5 research and the company's desire to sow media units and tease details Keys of the device shows that they have confidence in its ability to impress.
I partly mention it because, at present, when I have N5 research in hand, I cannot reveal any of its specifications or other songs beyond all that the company has already mentioned publicly, Before its launch on February 20.
The functionality is its slender profile, which does not block slightly thicker than the USB-C port (which is measured at 2.6 mm) placed in its base. Although he is not confirmed, he seems ready to take the crown of Honor Magic V3 as the thinner of the thinst “book style” in the world – a clarification which helps to distinguish the N5 of the N5 of the Huawei Mate XT even thinner (3.6 mm when it is completely open) that I spent time with last September, and this should be launched international on February 18.
Despite its thin profile to the brochure, the N5 search is a pleasantly robust foldable in hand, a line that Billy Zhang of Oppo has argued by declaring that it is the strongest of the company to date (its image D 'Social media header also represents the N5 as thinner than a standard graphite pencil).

Meanwhile, the co-founder Oppo CPO and OnePlus Pete Lau confirmed that the Find N5 Packs IPX6, IPX8 and IPX9 certification against various water input methods.
Lau's clear investment in N5 research also augurs well for the next folding phone of his business – the rumor OnePlus Open 2. Assuming that OnePlus adopts the same approach as with its foldable beginnings – the original Open Open ( Who shared most of its design, the hardware and software with the Oppo Find N3 which launched roughly at the same time) – N5 research is a donor device with the promising aspect.

Even with its notable size, research N5 retains a three -step physical alert cursor, which means that the Open 2 OnePlus is almost confirmed to do the same. The volume switch placement is high on the right side, while it is assumed that the Open 2 will also share the Camera system with Triple Hasselblad of the N5, which has a periscopic telephoto lens sensor.
In addition, Lau highlighted the reduced fold on the main folding screen of the phone, which I also broke against light in the slideshow above, so that you can have an idea of his visible. The sample that I photographed is the Cosmic Black Colorway, while the White Misty model, with a polished silver frame and a back with patterns can be seen in the official Teaser video at the top of history.
We also know that N5 research is expected to reach the last user experience of Coloros 15 of the company, running on Android 15, just as its debut on its recent flagship telephone line in the X8 series. Make the same comparisons with the OnePlus 13, the Open 2 will also arrive according to the Oxygenos 15 of the company.
Speaking of international outings, although the launch of N5's search is designed as a world version, OPPO phones are not easily available on the main markets like the United States, although OnePlus is.

So, even if the N5 search is not available where you are based, it is possible that the extremely similar open 2 is.
However, it remains to be seen how much of these devices will cost, and if they can really compete with the best foldable.
