Oppo made the best foldable phone, again
Once again, Oppo has set a new benchmark for foldable smartphones with the launch of the Find N6. This device addresses one of the most persistent challenges in foldables: the screen crease. Thanks to Oppo’s innovative 3D liquid printing applied to the hinge, the crease on the Find N6 is almost unnoticeable in everyday use, making it one of the only foldables where the crease truly fades into the background.
Slim Design and Outstanding Display
Despite its folding form factor, the Find N6 is as thin as many standard smartphones when closed, measuring just 8.93mm thick and weighing 225 grams. The display’s crease is barely visible, even less so than on competitors like Google’s Pixel Fold or Honor’s Magic V series. Unless you specifically look for it, it’s easy to forget it’s there altogether.
Software and Multitasking
Oppo’s foldable software has always impressed, and the Find N6 takes it a step further. It runs Android 16 with the promise of five years of updates and offers multitasking options unmatched in the foldable market. Users can run up to four floating, resizable app windows at once, quickly switching between floating and split-screen layouts. This flexibility helps take full advantage of the device’s 8.12-inch inner screen.
Stylus Support and Hardware Specs
For productivity and creativity, the Find N6 supports a new AI Pen stylus that works on both displays and features handy note-taking and annotation tools. The phone is powered by a robust Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, ensuring smooth performance for demanding apps and games.
Battery, Charging, and Durability
The 6,000mAh battery stands out as a high point, often lasting well into a second day of typical use. Charging supports up to 80W with Oppo’s charger and 50W wireless (Oppo pad only), making it convenient for fast top-ups. The Find N6 is IP56-rated, providing solid water resistance but not the best dust protection.
Camera Performance
Equipped with a triple rear camera featuring a 200MP main lens, the Find N6 delivers solid images that outshine most other foldables, but it can’t quite match the photography standards set by classic flagship phones, especially in tricky night scenes.
Availability and Price
The Find N6 is available in China, parts of Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, retailing at around $3,299 AUD (approximately $2,300 USD). Unfortunately, it’s not currently on sale in the US or Europe.
Verdict
Oppo’s Find N6 is a standout foldable, delivering a near-flawless display, excellent multitasking, and long battery life. While the camera remains a slight compromise and global availability is limited, the N6 sets a new standard for what a foldable phone can be.
