OPPO Find N5: A Foldable Phone Built to Last

OPPO Find N5: A Foldable Phone Built to Last
The foldable smartphones have come a long way, but there has always been a trade-off when it comes to their foldable design and durability. That's why the people also question the durability of the recently launched the OPPO Find N5 Flip.
To their surprise, the foldable has redefined expectations with its durable Titanium alloy flexion hinge, waterproof all levels, ultra-thin nanocrystal glass, and dual shielded flexible screen.
In this blog post, we will do an in-depth OPPO Find N5's durability analysis by examining its build and design.

OPPO Find N5: The Foldable Built with Slimline Strength
Thickness:
Measuring only 8.93mm when folded, the Find N5 is the world's thinnest book-style phone built with slimline strength. It is 26% thinner than its key competitors like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and its slim profile is comparable to flagship bar phones.
When unfolded, the Find N5 is barely thicker than a USB-C port as it measures just 4.21mm thin. This ultra-thin design is achieved by integrating custom-designed components and each component is engineered to fit its body.
Weight:
Find N5 is also the lightest foldable phone to the date, weighing just 229g. Its weight is closer to that of the bar flagship phones. Therefore, it is beating the competition by delivering compromise-free-in-hand experiences.
The device's extreme thinness and lightness removes the bulk and discomfort typically associated with foldable smartphones. This way, the ultra-thin design fits effortlessly into a pocket and its impressively light body never weighs you down.
What Makes the OPPO Find N5 Flip Durable? Key Composition Features
The OPPO Find N5 is built to last and its durability is somethings that sets it apart from its competitors. The device is made with the latest materials and can withstand daily scratches, drops, and other forms of wear tear.
Here are the details of features that make the foldable phone durable.
1. Titanium Alloy Flexion Hinge
The hinge is the backbone of the foldable smartphone that defines their structure and long-term durability. OPPO Find N5 has the most advanced and durable hinge that confirms its certified folding performance.
Composition:
The device features a 3D-printed Titanium Alloy Casing and Wing Plate that reduces its thickness by 26%. This is the same material that is being used to construct the Boeing 787 and Mars Exploration Rovers.
Compared to the previous model, the Find N5's hinge has a 36% higher deformation resistance and is reinforced with 2200 MPa Ultra-High Strength steel for exceptional durability and reliability.

Performance:
Thanks to this robust Titanium Alloy Hinge and high-quality steel, the Find N5 has earned the TÜV Rheinland Reliable Folding Certification. This certification shows that the phone is built for long-term reliability and ensures smooth folding performance even under deforming conditions.
2. Shielded Aluminium Alloy Frame
The Find N5's carefully engineered frame is another important component that makes this device durable.
Composition:
● Outer Space: Find N5's frame is crafted from customized aircraft-grade 7-series Aluminium Alloy, a material that is 30% stronger than its previous generation. The material boasts impressive strength and elongation while maintaining a slim profile for the device. Additionally, a robust, corrosion-resistant anodized coating further imroves the durability of the device.
● The back cover of the frame features advanced aerospace-grade material and is 43% thinner than the previous generation. When tested for wear and tear, the cover showed resistance in a drop test.
● Inner Space: When we examine the inner space of the phone, it is also engineered to enhance durability. Inside, the battery is protected by carbon fiber and Aluminium-ceramic composite materials. These materials further reduce the device's thickness yet ensure structural strength.
● In addition, the squad-stacking motherboard design boosts the space efficiency that the previous models.
Based on the material features, the company introduced an anodic oxidation process to form a corrosion-resistant film on the surface. This film can withstand high temperatures of up to 60°C for days and 60% humidity without experiencing peeling and corrosion.
3. Waterproof All Levels
IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 Ratings
Foldable smartphones have struggled with water resistance previously, but the OPPO Find N5 tackled this issue brilliantly. The device is the world's first foldable smartphone that ensures the highest level of water resistance with IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 ratings. From sudden splashes to an unexpected plunge, the device can handle all real-life situations with ease.

How Waterproof Structure is Made?
This level of water resistance within the compact body of the phone is due to an innovative multi-layer waterproof structure. The combination of adhesive backing and dispensing results in a layer of sealing that keeps the moisture away. Then the application of more adhesive fluid extends curing time and creates a more secure bond.
This way, the integration of advanced waterproof materials makes the Find N5 truly real-life-ready.
4. Ultra-Thin Nanocrystal Glass
Integration of next-gen ultra-thin nanocrystal glass on the screen is another great factor that further improves the durability of the OPPO Find N5 Flip. The durability in the phone's screen comes with 10% increase in crystallinity and 20% greater puncture resistance.

So, Find N5 users will enjoy enhanced strength and resilience, with great protection against daily wear and tear.
5. Dual Shielded Flexible Screen
For the inner display, the Find N5 introduces a Dual Shielded Flexible Screen that is durable due to resilient UTG material and layers of anti-impact films. Both these together provide increased protection against unexpected drops and daily scratches.
The anti-shock film is made of elastomer material the absorbs the sudden shocks and keeps the screen in original shape. This film ensures 30% improvement in Bending Resistance and 70% stronger Impact Resistance.

Conclusion
OPPO Find N5 has erased the misconceptions that Foldable smartphones are not durable. The device's Titanium Alloy Flexion Hinge, Shielded Aluminium Alloy Frame, and Ultra-Thin Nanocrystal Glass have added to its durability.
In addition, the IPX6, IPX8, IPX9 ratings have made it water-resistant and Dual Shielded Flexible Screen helps it withstand unexpected drops and daily wear and tear.
