I just tried the world's thinnest foldable phone — here's how it stacks up to Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold

The Oppo Find N5, which the company claims is the "world's thinnest book-style foldable phone," is launching in just over a week. And since this is the phone that the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 will likely be based on, it would be wrong not to take the chance for an early hands-on.

We can't show the device in action yet, but fortunately there's still plenty to appreciate even with the phone turned off. So feast your eyes on the images in this article while we wait for the official February 20 launch day.

Thinness is undoubtedly the main focus of the Oppo Find N5's design, going by previous teasers and the "slim yet powerful" tagline being used in the marketing. These teasers indicated that, when unfolded, the Find N5's thinner than two coins, or a stack of four credit cards. When I held the Find N5 in my hands, I found it difficult to believe it's possible to make a phone with such small tolerances.

I mean, just look at that USB-C port in the image below. There's barely anything separating the opening from the back of the phone. The same thing goes for the SIM tray on the other side of the phone too.

Even the camera block, which looks to contain three Hasselblad-tuned cameras like the OnePlus Open and previous Find Ns, doesn't add a huge amount of extra depth. And when holding the folded-up Find N5, it feels basically the same as a regular phone, both in screen area and thickness.

The thinness of the Oppo Find N really becomes apparent when you stack it next to other foldables, as we did in the above shot with a Galaxy Z Fold 6 to the right of Oppo's new device. Samsung's phone is 5.6mm thin; we're still waiting on the official word from Oppo about specs, but some reports place the Find N5's thinness at 4.2mm.

Stacking the phone up with other foldables, like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and the original OnePlus Open, and the Oppo Find N5 is clearly the thinnest of the bunch.

The Oppo Find N5 is not that heavy either, at least for a foldable, tackling another common issue for big-format foldables like this.

Thinness aside, the Oppo Find N5 looks gorgeous with its beveled flat sides and symmetrical camera block. It looks especially good in this white color, which features a matte, marble-like texture on the back panel. There's a plainer black version also shown in Oppo's current marketing material, for those who prefer their phones in darker tones.

Sharp-eyed readers may also see that there's an alert slider present on the phone's left side. This is a signature feature of OnePlus phones that stablemate Oppo has decided to pilfer for its own devices, including the recent Oppo Find X8 Pro flagship phone.

A folding display of course means a crease down the middle of the panel. But luckily, the Find N5's crease is hard to spot or feel if you open it up. It still catches the light but with the right conditions, it shouldn't cause problems when trying to concentrate on what's on screen. But we'll only know for sure once we've done our testing.

Oppo's leadership has already confirmed via social media that the Find N5 will receive a global launch on February 20 , although this will likely not include the U.S. just as with other Oppo phone launches.

But with the OnePlus Open 2 believed to be sporting a near-identical design when it allegedly launches later this year, American users will get their hands on this phone in one form or another.

It's hard to come to much of a conclusion about this "slim yet powerful" phone right now. But while the power part has yet to be proven, it's easy to see the Oppo Find N5 deserves the slim description. And then some.
