Oppo Find N6 Leaks Point to a Foldable Powerhouse
The Oppo Find N5 launched in March and quickly impressed users with its ultra-thin, lightweight design and solid performance. As the spiritual successor to the OnePlus Open, its quality wasn’t a surprise—but its refinement was.
OnePlus and OPPO, sister companies, previously released near-identical foldables: the Open and Find N3. This year, OPPO followed up with the Find N5, while OnePlus held off, stating they’d wait until they could truly innovate.
Now, leaks hint at the Find N6. Could the Open 2 be next? Possibly. With the foldable market evolving rapidly—Honor’s Magic V5 boasting top-tier camera hardware, Samsung’s Z Fold 7 making major strides, and Google releasing another solid entry—OPPO’s next move is highly anticipated.
Breaking Down the Digital Chat Station Leak
Leaks from Digital Chat Station on Weibo offer an early glimpse at OPPO’s next foldable, though the brand isn’t explicitly named. The info is translated from Chinese, so some details require interpretation.
The device reportedly features an 8.1-inch inner screen and a 6.6-inch outer screen—nearly identical to the Find N5. It may run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a confusing name, but likely a top-tier chip. Battery translations are vague, but hints suggest a capacity starting with “six,” likely over 6000mAh, which would be a major upgrade over the N5’s 5600mAh and far ahead of the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s 4400mAh. Silicon carbon tech is expected.
Camera upgrades include a 50MP LYT 808 sensor at 1/1.4 inches—larger than the previous 1/1.56-inch sensor—offering better light capture and detail. A 50MP 3x telephoto in a slim periscope format is also mentioned, likely similar to last year’s model, though maybe not quite as strong as Honor’s Magic V5. Multi-spectral imaging has been tested, but its role remains unclear.
Other features include a customizable button which could be an action key or it could be used for AI tasks as we’ve seen on new OnePlus releases. There’s also a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, wireless charging, and full waterproofing which is likely similar to last year’s IPX8 and IPX9. The design is said to be thinner than the “candybar ultra” suggesting it could beat the Find N5’s 4.2mm profile.
Final Thoughts on the Rumors
The Find N6 is shaping up to be a clear upgrade over the N5, with similar screen sizes, a better main camera sensor, a larger battery, a thinner and lighter build, and a new customizable hardware button—possibly with AI features.
Despite the promising specs, key details remain unknown: the release date (likely around March), pricing, and regional availability. The previous OPPO foldable didn’t launch in the U.S., but if OnePlus sees these upgrades as worthy of an Open 2, there’s hope it could finally arrive stateside—especially since the original Open is starting to lag behind.
