# Can the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Deliver a Knockout Blow to the Find N5?
Samsung has long held the title for foldables, but the competition is rapidly intensifying. OPPO’s Find N5 has established a new benchmark, providing an almost flawless foldable experience. As the Galaxy Z Fold 7 approaches, the pressing question is: can Samsung reclaim its supremacy and unseat the Find N5?
Let’s explore how these two giants compare.
## Pricing and Availability: Samsung’s Worldwide Edge
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is anticipated to debut globally in July 2025, with a starting price probably exceeding $1,799 — potentially reaching $1,899. Samsung’s extensive distribution network ensures that the Fold 7 will be accessible in most major regions, including the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
On the other hand, the OPPO Find N5, despite its quality, faces challenges with limited availability. It’s officially launched in Singapore for SGD 2,499 (around $1,900 USD) but is difficult to find outside specific areas. For many consumers, Samsung’s wider accessibility alone makes the Fold 7 the more practical option.

## Design and Displays: Thinner, More Elegant, and Crease-Free?
Samsung is finally making strides in reducing thickness. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be merely 4.5mm thick when unfolded — its slimmest model to date. It is expected to come with larger displays: a 6.5-inch outer screen and an 8.2-inch inner display. Samsung may also unveil a new “crease-free” folding panel, a highly anticipated enhancement.
However, OPPO’s Find N5 has already perfected the design. It’s even thinner at 4.2mm when opened, has no visible crease, and resembles a standard smartphone when closed due to its broader aspect ratio. In addition, its AMOLED screens are among the brightest and most colorful in the market.

## Specs and Software: Muscle vs. Refinement
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, 12GB of RAM, and storage options up to 1TB. It will operate on One UI 8 built on Android 16, with Samsung promising seven years of OS updates — a leading commitment in the industry.
Conversely, the Find N5 also employs a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite chip but comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It runs on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, which, while rich in features, can present a steeper learning curve and less global recognition.

## Battery and Charging: OPPO’s Hidden Asset
Battery performance is where OPPO excels. The Find N5 boasts an impressive 5,600mAh silicon battery, offering top-notch endurance. It supports 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging via AirVOOC — and OPPO provides the charger in the package.
In contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may feature a 4,400mAh battery, 25W wired charging, and 15W wireless charging. While the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could enhance efficiency, Samsung simply can’t match OPPO’s battery longevity or charging speeds.

## Cameras: Samsung’s 200MP Ambition
Rumors suggest that Samsung will outfit the Fold 7 with a 200MP primary camera — a notable advancement over earlier versions. It will be complemented by a 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Selfie photography will be managed by a 10MP cover camera and a 4MP under-display camera.
In comparison, the Find N5 already delivers exceptional camera quality with a 50MP main sensor, 8MP ultrawide, and 50MP telephoto. Reviewers have lauded its photo quality, even comparing it favorably to the Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9.
While Samsung’s 200MP sensor appears impressive on paper, actual performance will determine its effectiveness. If Samsung excels in software processing, it may have the edge over the Find N5.
✅ **Advantage: Slight edge to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (subject to real-world evaluations)**

## Conclusion: Can the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Defeat the Find N5?
In terms of pure hardware, the OPPO Find N5 is arguably the superior foldable. It’s thinner, features no crease, charges at higher speeds, lasts longer, and provides remarkable camera capabilities.
However, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is likely to come out on top — not because it outperforms the Find N5 in every aspect, but due to its availability to a much larger audience. Add to that
