Chinese smartphone firm Oppo launches slim $1,870 folding phone to rival Samsung, Huawei
Chinese smartphone maker Oppo on Thursday revealed the Find N5, a new flagship that can fold in half.
Chinese smartphone firm Oppo has unveiled its new flagship folding phone Thursday, touting a slimmer body and artificial intelligence-focused features in a bid to compete with high-end foldable devices from the likes of Samsung and Huawei.
The company's Find N5 phone that can fold in half, will retail at a starting price of 2,499 Singapore dollars ($1,867.70).
When it's folded shut, the Find N5 looks like a normal bar-shaped phone with a 6.62-inch display. The device can then be folded outward to show a larger, 8.12-inch tablet.
Most notably, the phone has an ultra-thin design. When closed, it measures 8.93 millimeters thick, while when opened out in tablet form, the Find N5 has a depth of 4.21 millimeters.
That's slimmer than Samsung's Galaxy Fold 6, which the South Korean tech giant released last year.
Inside the device is a razer-thin 5,600 milliampere-hour (mAh) battery that's no bigger than a credit card. Oppo said the battery incorporates a silicon-carbon material, which enables high battery capacity despite its small size.
