Can book-style foldables get any slimmer than this? I’m not sure they need to. The Oppo Find N5 is a barely-there 4.2mm when open, not counting its slight camera bump, and is as skinny as a non-folding flagship when folded. It makes the Galaxy Z Fold6 look positively portly.
While still a teensy bit narrower than a traditional bar phone, the 6.62in outer screen has a more natural-feeling aspect ratio than Samsung’s slender effort, so apps feel far less cramped. The OLED panel is glorious, with 120Hz smooth scrolling and brightness that gets more than a passing grade.
It’s the 8.12in inner screen that’s the true star of the show, though. The almost-square ratio gives it more surface area than the latest Apple iPad Mini – comfortably enough for two apps side by side. Even with letterboxing, videos eclipse the largest of non-folding flagships. And the anti-reflection film protecting the flexible AMOLED panel underneath does a more convincing impression of glass than other foldables I’ve used, though it’s just as quick to pick up fingerprints.
