Oppo fans, get ready — some fresh leaks might’ve just given us the first glimpse of what could be Oppo’s next flip-style foldable: the Find N5 Flip. While the brand skipped a flip reveal with the Find N5 launch, new global patent schematics suggest a stylish follow-up to the Find N3 Flip could be in the pipeline. Here’s the scoop so far.
Design
At first glance, the Find N5 Flip sticks to Oppo’s familiar clamshell foldable form — but there’s a standout twist. The camera setup has ditched the old circular layout in favor of a vertical strip.
This redesigned triple-camera array gives the back a sleeker, more modern aesthetic. Plus, it frees up more space on the front, and Oppo seems to be using that room smartly.
Display
The big win here? A much larger cover display. Foldables are all about maximizing usability, and Oppo’s clearly taking notes from the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series and Motorola’s Razr.
According to the schematics, the outer screen nearly spans the full front surface when folded — offering plenty of space for widgets, alerts, or even full app previews, no need to flip it open.
Here’s how the rumored changes stack up:
| Feature | Find N3 Flip | Leaked Find N5 Flip |
|---|---|---|
| Camera Layout | Circular Triple Camera | Vertical Triple Camera |
| Cover Display Size | Medium | Larger, Full-Width Front |
| Alert Slider | Yes | Yes |
| Design Form | Clamshell | Clamshell |
Features
One fan-favorite feature is sticking around — the three-stage alert slider. A long-time staple on Oppo and OnePlus phones, it’s perfect for flipping between silent, vibrate, and ring without diving into menus.
Another subtle but noticeable change is the hinge. It looks more refined, likely to boost durability and maybe reduce that center crease. While we don’t have full specs yet, it’s safe to expect Oppo to aim high to match up with the best from Samsung and Motorola.
Speculation
Of course, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Just because this design appeared on the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) database doesn’t mean it’s destined for retail shelves. Many designs live and die on the drawing board.
Just look at Apple’s folding iPhone patents — still no sign of a product. So while this one has us curious, we’ll wait for something official before getting too excited.
Competition
Over in Samsung’s camp, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is stirring buzz, too. But leaks suggest there won’t be major design changes — just a big performance bump thanks to a new processor. That gives Oppo a shot to leap ahead in design and innovation.
If the Find N5 Flip launches with these upgrades, it could definitely shake things up in the foldable space. The larger cover display alone could be a game-changer.
Bottom line: while nothing’s official, this leaked design makes one thing clear — Oppo’s not stepping back from the foldables race anytime soon. The Find N5 Flip might just be its next big move.
