just 2 months ago I got the OnePlus open and I thought it was the best folding
phone you could buy but it turns out I am a fool because Oppo has released the
find N5 and it looks better in every way
it's thinner it's more powerful it has wireless charging and I miss wireless
charging so much but what's in the box we have an 80 W charger in the box with
a plug that we cannot use here in North America we also have a nice little
cardboard box with a case and a USB-C
TOA cable as super vuk technology uses
usba a for ultimate power I guess and I
got to say the case that looks pretty nice it's like a a faux leather uh AKA
plastic in white nice little flexible hinge pretty neat on the front of the
paper wrap here we have all of the warnings about how folding screens are
fragile to be careful do not press your nails into it or use sharp objects on it
which makes sense you shouldn't be putting sharp things on any phone in fact uh my OnePlus open has scrap
matches all over the camera and the back
of the phone uh Which is less than ideal especially when folding phones don't
have a ton of case options if you don't like the white one that was included and
I bring up the OnePlus open a lot because Oppo actually owns OnePlus and
this is just a rebranded version of the N4 so this is probably going to have
similar successes and problems but a major success is the design this baby is
thin at only a millimeter thicker than
an iPhone or a Samsung phone uh if you don't count with the camera bump it
feels amazing in the hand just like a traditional slab phone uh comparing it
to the OnePlus open it feels substantially thinner and when you
compare to an iPhone it truly is not
that much thicker in fact they say it's thinner than a pencil when open and uh I
would believe it because you know pencils are thick you know you don't write very often but almost thinner when
closed definitely thinner when open they say 8.93 mm when folded and 4.21 mm when
unfolded but we're going to put that to the test I really want to check how big
it is with the camera bump as again comparing to the old phone it makes a
big difference when you're sliding something in and out of your pocket if there is a big bump to kind of account
for I got to be careful it's a sharp object what does it say
4.53 interesting liars and with the camera
bump 8.91 I don't know okay how about folded
141 so it's not the finished device in the world but again when you're
comparing it to its contemporaries it is quite thin they also say it's as light
as a coffee cup at 229 G and that one I believe it is quite light anyways let's
go over buttons on the right side when it's closed at least you have your power
button and fingerprint scanner a volume rocker and the alert slider for vibrate
uh silent and ring on the bottom we have our USB 3.1 Gen 2 some speakers mic
holes and SIM tray on the top more speakers more mic holes and on the left
side it is our titanium tum flexion hinge which feels quite good it's a
little stiff but it's you know new I wouldn't say it's anything too uncomfortable and it keeps its position
at a lot of different angles like look how close that is to closing that's crazy another really eye-catching thing
about this phone is the back of it it has a large camera bump but it's kind of
subtly raised it's curved up into the bump of it which I think gives it a much
more subtle Look it's even hard to catch on camera but it looks quite nice and
the back of it is the Misty white and it looks kind of like a marbley Milky
texture but it is just glass it's not the kind of pleather or anything like that and I do prefer that and with the
contrasting Oppo logo I think it looks really nice it does also come in Cosmic
Black if you like a darker phone but I think this looks quite nice even as
somebody who usually does take the black phone option and then we have our inner
screen which is 8.12 in and is a
fingerprint magnet it is an ultra thin glass on the inside of the phone but
that is pretty much just plastic and it feels fine when you're using it but as
somebody with uh sweaty Palm s it does feel a little bit tacky so your finger
does drag a little bit which it does feel odd the other important thing about
the inner screen is the crease and I have to say it looks amazing of course
when I shine in the light here you can see it in all of its Glory but when
you're actually watching content or you're looking at it at a different angle you barely see it and it sounds
like it'll be really noticeable and you'll be able to feel it but you truly
cannot once you get your hands on this kind of thing it feels so good
especially when you compare it to some of the competition like I find the Samsung Galaxy fold series you can see
the crease quite a bit and feel it but this one here not at all but if you
don't need a giant screen you can just fold it close and you get a more traditional 6.62 in screen and this is
just regular glass like the phone in your pocket if the phone in your pocket
is big it is quite a large phone it's not too wide so you can still you know
hold it in one hand but reaching you got to do the little the little finger
balance thing that's quite treacherous if you're not a experienced phone user
like myself but a phone is so much more than screens that aren't turned on
there's battery life there's specs there's performance and we're going to
learn all about those after we talk about our sponsor Corsair the modular
design of their frame 4000 DK system means that you can put together your
dream PC the way you want to want to switch out the front IO panel for more
USB ports go for it want to throw a reverse connection motherboard in there
why not is 1 360 mm rad not enough for
you heck throw in another plus their
infini raal fan mounting system lets you easily Mount fans exactly where you want
them check it out today at lm. g/ 4000d
or by clicking our Link in the video description this phone isn't just flashy
it's also a Powerhouse of specs we have
16 gigs of RAM 512 gigs of storage a
Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile processor though to note it is a seven core
version of the processor not the 8 core that can be found in other flagships
like uh the newest Samsung stuff and it has a 5600 milliamp hour battery in this
thin of a phone crazy how did they fit so much battery in there we'll never
know but what we do know is how the battery performed we had Labs take a
look and with our standard battery endurance test it was able to get 18 hours and 43 minutes which is on par
with other flagships which is good you know it's a thin phone it's got a big
screen two of them and yet it still did just as well as any other phone I find
with my OnePlus phone it also lasts me well throughout the day so it really
shouldn't be an issue and with the included charger we were able to charge it from 0 to 100% in just over an hour
enough about battery bill you only want to talk about battery okay we'll watch
some content settle down the cover screen is 2616 by 1140 resolution which
is full HD Plus and it looks great and
bright this is not even 100% brightness we're just under halfway and it still
looks so bright and Punchy in fact they claim it's 1600 nits Peak when used
indoors and 2,450 nits when used outdoors and Labs was able to measure
about 1,600 nits in SDR but only just under 2100 nits in HDR on the internal
screen oh you just get so much more real estate when you use this inner screen
this one here is QHD Plus on the inside and it's rated for 1,400 nits when use
indoors and 2100 nits when use Outdoors but we actually got 1,700 nits in SDR
and just under 2,000 nits when using HDR which isn't bad you might notice that
the cover screen is a little bit brighter which you might be wondering why it could be that the internal
screens harder to drive but what really matters is that when you're Outdoors
walking around you're probably using the smaller screen so being brighter just
means it's easier to use in sunlight one odd thing we notice is that when you
have auto brightness off the brightness will still increase we actually reached
out to O about that to see if there was a problem with our software but they say
it's on purpose it'll set the minimum brightness to whatever you put the bar
at but if you go outside they want you to still see your phone so it allows the
brightness to continue getting brighter I've never really seen that before but
it's kind of Handy but it doesn't matter if your content looks great if it sounds
awful let's check out these speakers
sounds pretty good it could be a little louder but what's nice is it's not
distorted I've used some phones that sound a little crunchy when it hits the
peak of the speaker but let's see if it sounds any different when it's open
maybe there's inner speakers I'm not quite
sure nope sounds pretty much the same what's nice is that where you hold the
phone you'll kind of end up naturally cupping the speaker so it'll be more angled towards you but nothing crazy but
what I love about my OnePlus open is is gaming man having a bigger screen truly
is gamechanging literally let's play
some batro look at this having all the space to play your little mobile games
is amazing and these days most games will just naturally adapt to your screen
size though if they don't fold it shut swipe up and now you're playing your
game as if it was a regular candy bar size phone where every Apple work really
really nice to have and when Labs checked out the performance they said it was pretty darn good it matches most
performance expect from a flagship though a little worse than the latest Samsung with it having on less core I
think that makes sense but we did find only operates at 50 to 65% when you're
doing kind of high stressful or more intense benchmarking it seems to
throttle quite a bit and it could be thermals with how thin it is there's
only so much space to get rid of that heat so it makes sense most people also
aren't bench marking their phone so will you notice probably not especially with
how smooth the OS feels this is a 1 Herz to 120 HZ screen and it feels great
though you won't be able to tell on camera and speaking of cameras this has
plenty it has a 50 megap main camera a 50 megapix Periscope and an 8 megapix
wide angle why the wide angle has less uh I I don't know but do you use ultra
wide that often I don't think it needs to be high-rise all right we took some pictures of uh producer James today I
got to say the ultra wide looks pretty good it does get a little soft when you
really zoom into it 8 megapixels is putting in work and this is a very
challenging set up with the studio lights and shooting directly into it but these zooms they're solid
considering oh wow the main is much more
contrasty really cut through that light and it looks pretty good again it's a
little soft maybe there's some kind of automatic AI editing on it but not bad
at all I fun with again my OnePlus phone the photos are good but that's not all
the cameras we actually have two selfie cameras one on the inside here and one
on the cover screen both whole punches and both 8 megapixels this is such a
weird photo how do you how do you take a selfie with this thing and not look
weird you know what like the other cameras these are good they are very
wide it almost looks a little un natural but you'll fit all your friends in the
photos and video very good holy smokes this is
steady that is one thing I had is with my OnePlus phone is people would ask me
what I filmed with because of how steady it was and this is no different man that
video looks really really good my quality only okay but you heard it now
it's time to talk software as that's what you're actually going to be using every day and this is color o 15 which
is based on Android 15 and it's got all
the features you want ai ai ai ai and AI
but they also have a bunch of multitasking options which is really important when you have a screen this
big like being able to split the screen with two fingers and open multiple apps
like uh Google TV everyone's favorite app uh or being able to open floating
Windows and split screens and uh multi-
Windows and boundless view there really is everything you could ever want and
more uh which I guess is good to have it
can feel a little bit overwhelming but if you don't want it just don't use it I
guess I actually find myself using the regular app split screen quite a lot
being able to copy one thing to another app is really convenient or when I'm
adding stuff to my calendar being able to read my email to make sure I'm entering it all correctly super useful
I'm hoping to get the level of brain rout where I have YouTube up on one quarter uh Subway Surfers on another and
a podcast playing in another corner but I'm not quite there yet but there is one
feature I really want to try and that's the remote Mac control that lets you
transfer files and such from your Mac to your phone but also use your phone to
control your macc's keyboard and trackpad setting this up is a little
nerve-wracking it ask for a lot of permissions and when I installed the o
plus connect software you need to actually use this feature like three
notifications rushed in the screen saying that new things were going to be able to launch when I turn on my Mac
which uh I guess is it problem cuz this is my work laptop whoa okay so you can
see the laptop screen and here I have what looks like a magic mouse to drag
around to click on stuff which is pretty funny it's not the most elegant solution
it is connecting through the internet so I guess I hope I'm the only one
accessing this right now but it is I
guess nice to have like we can see it live moving here and that's cool I don't
know I don't know if I'm really fully sold on this dream when things like team
viewer parek third option already exist
why would I trust Oppo to have all this information in my computer and now I
have to ask it to remove it all so overall this is a pretty impressive
little package it has Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 the fast refresh rate the huge
battery the thinness wireless charging
it should have everything I want yet I can't buy it well I can't buy it
straight from Oppo it they're only selling it in markets other than the US
and Europe but it does use Google Play services and maybe it supports bands in
your region you'll have to look that up but this is actually cheaper than the
competition the Samsung Galaxy Zed fold 6 is $220 before any promotion Samsung
loves putting stuff on sale when this converted to US is only
1,870 is so if you have a friend overseas it might be worth seeing if
they can smuggle one over for you but what do you think would you get one of
these if you could and would you allow it to control your MacBook let us know
down below and if you like this video why don't you check out our video on the Galaxy Zed fold 6 Elijah was pretty
impressed with it but I don't know
