Oppo Find N5 Latest Promo Showcases a Rugged Build & Water Resistance

Oppo may have taken its time with the Find N5, but the wait seems to be worth it. The device has been making frequent appearances in teasers, and a recent one highlights just how durable it is. Here’s a breakdown of what the video reveals.

Previous teasers have showcased the Find N5’s slim profile—just 4.2mm when unfolded and 8.4mm when closed. That’s even thinner than the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which measures 8.6mm. While this sleek design is impressive, one might wonder if it compromises durability. Apparently, it doesn’t!

According to GSMArena, which recently published hands-on coverage, the Find N5 is anything but fragile. In one extreme durability test, the phone was strapped to a 20kg exercise weight and suspended freely between two tables. The result? It remained intact, bending only as intended.

The latest teaser video builds on its ultra-thin form, showcasing a first in foldable technology—IPX9, IPX8, and IPX6 water resistance ratings. The Find N5 can survive full submersion and even withstand hot water jets, meaning an accidental drop in a dishwasher won’t be a disaster. Given its premium features, its price tag will likely reflect its high-end status.

The promo also highlights the phone’s impressive drop resistance, suggesting it could be the first foldable with a shockproof chassis. Another key detail is its robust hinge mechanism, recently revealed in images shared by GSMArena when they received a sample unit for testing.

Leaked hands-on images confirm that the Find N5 features an alert slider on one side, while the power button (with fingerprint ID) and volume rocker sit on the other. The retail box has also surfaced, revealing a circular rear camera and a screen size similar to its predecessor. One noticeable improvement? A significantly reduced crease in the latest Find N5 Fold.

According to Oppo’s official landing page, the Find N5 is set to debut on February 20. It will launch in China first, while global markets will receive it under the OnePlus Open 2 branding. Pricing and availability details remain under wraps for now. Stay tuned for more updates!
