In 2021, Oppo introduced its first foldable phone, the Find N, as a direct response to Samsung's foldable line. The Oppo brand has been growing and releasing various interesting models since.
Oppo continued to develop its foldable phone series. In 2022, they launched the Find N2, which was more refined and featured some of the best specs at the time. This was followed by the Find N3 in 2023.
The newest model, the Oppo Find N5, was released in February 2025 and is considered by many to be a serious competitor to Samsung's Fold series. This is due to its unique design and a growing love for the brand.
Now, let's take a detailed look and compare it to the Samsung Fold 7, which just recently hit the market. It's worth noting that Oppo made an effort to release its foldable smartphone earlier to attract attention, and it seems to have partially succeeded.
The OPPO Find N5 was officially introduced to the world in February 2025, and it immediately turned heads with one of its most impressive features: identical thickness when folded and unfolded — something that even Samsung only just achieved with its newly released Galaxy Fold 7. The OPPO Find N5 weighs in at just 229 grams, making it lighter than most foldables in its class.Display
OPPO brings a premium display experience with a HDR10+, 120Hz, 2100 nits peak brightness panel, offering a 2248x2480 resolution and 412 PPI (pixels per inch). In comparison, Samsung's Fold 7 has a slightly lower 368 PPI, though it outshines in peak brightness with an impressive 2600 nits.
Performance
Both smartphones are powered by the Snapdragon Elite 8 processor, based on 3nm architecture, ensuring flagship-grade performance and efficiency. Whether it's gaming, multitasking, or high-end apps, both devices handle it all effortlessly.
Stylus Support
Just like Samsung’s Fold series, the OPPO Find N5 also supports a stylus, adding to its productivity features and making it a solid choice for professionals and creatives alike.
Storage Options
Both brands offer three storage variants:
-
256 GB
-
512 GB
-
1 TB
This gives users flexibility depending on their storage needs.
Camera
This is where Samsung takes the lead.
-
OPPO Find N5 offers:
-
50 MP main camera

Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 includes:

-

-

Furthermore, Samsung supports 8K video recording at 30fps, while the OPPO Find N5 lacks 8K recording altogether — a notable drawback for video creators.
Battery & Charging
OPPO regains ground in the battery department. The Find N5 features a massive 5600mAh battery, capable of:
-
80W wired fast charging
-
50W wireless charging
Samsung, in comparison, offers only:
-
25W wired charging
-
15W wireless charging
Clearly, when it comes to charging speed and battery capacity, OPPO is well ahead.
While Samsung's Fold 7 still dominates the camera game and offers slightly higher brightness, OPPO’s Find N5 shines in design, display sharpness, battery, and charging power. For users focused on productivity and endurance, OPPO might be the better choice. But for photography enthusiasts, Samsung remains unmatched.
