//OPPO FIND N5 REVIEW

Some products can be considered in a vacuum – but this is not one of them. The Oppo Find N5 is the most technically impressive folding phone on the market: light in a pocket; low on the crease; and as thin as its USB port physically allows. By most objective metrics, it’s the best foldable there is.

And yet it’s also a symbol of a product category whose prices remain stubbornly high, while its adoption stays fairly low. That’s led some folks (rightly) to ask if book-type foldables, as a category, are living on borrowed time. And while I sincerely hope that’s not true … we know from hard experience that being the best at something doesn’t always mean you win.

The upshot is that this is an outstanding product … that nevertheless may not have a place in the modern world. I spent a month with the Oppo Find N5, to see how it stacks up to the other foldables in my arsenal … and I tested its cameras with a visit to another technological marvel that was ahead of its time.
