Oppo Find N5 Flip design possibly outed by patent filing

Oppo's last flip-style foldable was the Find N3 Flip, launched in 2023. Since then, nothing - it's been crickets only on this front, even though the company did come out with the book-style Find N5 already.

Now, the design of what could be the upcoming Find N5 Flip may have been uncovered in a patent filing at the WIPO. This filing basically shows the entire design for a flip-style foldable, and it's not one that Oppo's used so far.

That said, it is immediately identifiable as a member of Oppo's Flip line, with the cover screen to one side and the cameras arranged next to it. It has three cameras, as you can see, which is still a rarity for this form factor, but which the Find N3 Flip also boasted. They're arranged differently, however, more reminiscent of the Find N2 Flip in position, but as you can see they're not individual circles but part of a larger island - dare we say it, a rather Samsung-esque design.

The cover display itself seems larger than that on the Find N3 Flip, which makes sense since growing these has been a trend in the market in the past few years.

While these images do look compelling, keep in mind that companies often file for patents they never end up actually using, so this by itself doesn't in any way confirm that a Find N5 Flip is coming, nor that it would look like this. We'll let you know if we find out more.
