The Find N6 is making its debut across Asia and Australasia with highly impressive specifications.
Oppo has introduced its “zero-feel crease” foldable, the Find N6, though its release won’t extend to the US or Europe, despite initial promises of a “global” launch. Instead, starting March 20th, it will be available in key markets in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Regrettably, like its predecessor the Find N5, the N6 appears to be one of the finest foldable phones available. A standout feature is its crease, which was closely examined last week. Thanks to a liquid 3D-printed hinge column, it’s the most subtle crease seen on a foldable phone, nearly invisible to sight or touch. Though not entirely gone, it’s unlikely to cause discomfort.
The Find N6 isn’t the thinnest foldable — that title goes to the Honor Magic V6 — but at 8.93mm and weighing 225g, it’s comparable in size and weight to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. Honor’s phone is only marginally thinner. While the V6 boasts a larger battery, the 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery of the Find N6 is adequate for a full day’s use.
The phone’s cameras are another potential strong point. The rear triple camera system includes a 200-megapixel main camera and 50-megapixel ultrawide and telephoto cameras, all featuring Samsung sensors. Additionally, it incorporates the same color spectrum sensor seen in last year’s Find X9 flagships, which were noted for their excellent cameras. Despite a large camera bump, Oppo has managed to maintain a relatively flat design.
A seven-core variant of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powers the phone, which features 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. However, Oppo has lagged behind in dust protection: The Find N6 is IP56, 58, and 59-rated, providing excellent water protection but falling short of Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the latest Honor foldable in terms of dust resistance.
Oppo is also introducing a new AI Pen stylus compatible with both inner and outer screens, charging via pogo pins in a case that wirelessly charges from the phone. Additionally, the software includes enhanced multitasking with up to four resizable floating windows, all active simultaneously. Oppo is collaborating with Google to introduce AirDrop support, which will be added in a future update to complement existing macOS and iOS integrations, including file sharing and screen sharing.
