Oppo has officially announced that its flagship foldable, the Oppo Find N5, will be launched in China in February this year. Oppo’s Chief Product Officer, Pete Lau (better known as Liu Zuohu) has confirmed the imminent launch of the Oppo Find N5 through a teaser image shared on Weibo. Lau, who is also the co-founder and CEO of OnePlus, revealed that the upcoming device will be the world’s thinnest foldable flagship smartphone.

Last time, Oppo released the Find N3 in China in 2023, days after it was rebranded globally as OnePlus Open. Looking at the trends, we think the company will follow the same timeline. For context, Oppo is the parent company of OnePlus.

The teaser poster shows that the Oppo Find N5 aka OnePlus Open 2 is thinner than a standard pencil, which is usually 7-8 mm thick. Based on this, the phone appears to be around 4mm thick when unfolded, which suggests that its thickness could be less than 10mm when folded. Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station has also supported this claim and confirmed that the Find N5 will be the world’s thinnest foldable phone, leaving behind the current record-holder Honor Magic V3.
