OPPO’s next flagship foldable smartphone, the Find N6, could become the world’s first foldable smartphone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. That is not surprising at all, actually.
The OPPO Find N6 could be the first foldable phone to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC
The information comes from Digital Chat Station, one of China’s most prominent tipsters. He went to Weibo to share the information. The chip information is not the only detail he shared, though. The tipster shared the key specifications of the OPPO Find N6, actually.
He claims that the phone will feature an 8.1-inch main, foldable display. A 6.6-inch cover display will also be used. The phone is tipped to utilize a 6,000mAh+ silicon-carbon battery as well. It will once again have a much larger battery than what the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers.
The cameras will also be improved
A 50-megapixel main camera (Sony’s LYT-808 sensor) is tipped. That is a 1/1.4-inch sensor size, by the way, and an improvement over what the Find N5 delivered. An ultrawide camera will also be used, but no details were shared. The third camera on the back will be a periscope telephoto unit (3x optical zoom), and there will be a multispectral sensor as well.
Android 16 will come pre-installed on the device, along with OPPO’s ColorOS 16 skin. A customizable button will replace the alert slider, while a side-facing fingerprint scanner will be included, too. It will double as power/lock key.
“Full water resistance” is also tipped
The tipster also claims that the phone will offer “full water resistance”, meaning full protection. We’re not sure what rating will it be exactly, but that’s good to hear.
Wireless charging will be supported too, as was on the Find N5. The last piece of information that the tipster shared has to do with weight and thickness. The OPPO Find N6 will be even thinner and lighter than its predecessor, which is immensely thin and light for a foldable of that size.
The OPPO Find N6 will probably arrive in Q1 2026. The Find N5 landed in February this year, so we’re expecting a similar timeframe for the launch of its successor. That’s not something that Digital Chat Station mentioned, however.
