There's a lot I like about Oppo's Find N6 foldable phone, now that I've had some time to test it. It's powerful, with glorious 8.12-inch inner and 6.62-inch outer displays and a new hinge design results in a barely noticeable crease on the inner display. It even has a triple IP rating for water resistance, which is rare for foldable phones and means you don't need to worry about using it in the rain (or in a dusty room). But my favorite thing is simply how skinny it is. At just 8.9mm thick when closed, it's extremely comfortable to slide into a pocket.

At a time when we see companies like Motorola, Samsung and Honor push the limits of foldable phone design, the Oppo Find N6 is one of my favorite foldables I've tested, possibly ever, which makes me especially disappointed that it's not sold in the US, UK or Europe. You can buy one in "key Asian markets and Australia," which means most of the world is denied access to what really seems like a superb bit of kit. Oppo, if you're reading this, maybe let more people buy it?

I've been able to spend some time with one despite living in the UK, so if you like teasing yourself by reading about exciting things you can't have, then let's crack on.

Oppo Find N6: Design and hinge

The svelte design is certainly one of my top things about the phone. It feels much skinnier than the 10.8mm Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and while it technically doesn't edge out the 8.75mm thick Honor Magic V6 (we're talking fractions of a millimeter), I doubt you'd notice the difference. When open, the Find N6 is only 4.2mm thick. 

Despite its skinny proportions, it actually feels extremely sturdy. It's built from aluminum, with a hinge that uses titanium and carbon fiber. Oppo says it's been independently tested to withstand at least a million folds, and its outer screen is covered in what Oppo calls "nanocrystal glass," which it reckons is exceptionally resistant to damage. Couple that with the IP56, IP58 and IP59 ratings for water resistance (it can survive being immersed in water, high-temperature water and high-pressure water jets), and the Find N6 is arguably one of the most durable foldable phones around. I still probably wouldn't hand it to a toddler with sticky jam fingers, though. 

The hinge is specifically designed to reduce the inner display's crease, which is helped by "auto-smoothing flex glass" that Oppo says is much better at avoiding creasing over time. Does it work? Sure, from what I've experienced so far, it's certainly one of the most invisible creases I've seen on a foldable phone. It definitely never got in the way when gaming or watching videos. It is still there, and under overhead office lights, it's more noticeable, but for the most part, it wasn't a problem for me. 

Oppo Find N6: Processor, camera, battery and software

The Find N6 runs on Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which put in some great scores on our benchmark tests. It ranks up there among other 2026 flagship phones using the same silicon. Everyday use feels swift, and it even handled the demanding mobile game Genshin Impact without any issues. 

On the back of the phone is a triple camera setup combining a 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide and a 50-megapixel telephoto that has a 70mm equivalent focal length. It's a solid setup, and while I've not been able to test it yet, I'm confident it'll take some great shots. Oppo's camera system on the Find X9 Pro really impressed me, with great exposures and accurate colors, so I expect similar performance here -- especially as both phones benefit from Oppo's partnership with iconic camera maker Hasselblad. 

Powering the phone is a 6,000-mAh silicon-carbon battery, which should be good for a full day of use, as long as you don't spend all day streaming videos on the big inner display. Don't worry if you run out of juice because it has 80-watt wired fast charging, which will cram the power back in in no time, as long as you have a compatible charger. 

It runs Android 16, which Oppo has added a whole bunch of features to that take advantage of the big inner display, including tools for multitasking across apps. It'll even play nicely with iPhone owners, with the N6 able to share files directly with iPhones over AirDrop and even answer incoming calls to your iPhone on your Find N6. It might be useful if you use two devices: One for work and one for play. 

Oppo Find N6: Should you buy it?

Do you live in one of the handful of places where Oppo is actually selling the foldable? If so, yes. It's a great bit of kit, from its skinny, strong construction to its powerful processor. It's arguably one of the best all-around foldables around right now, and I'd love to be able to give it the full review treatment in order to help you go buy it, although pricing isn't yet available. 

Maybe Oppo will change its strategy, but right now, if you're not somewhere Oppo sells it, then you're out of luck. Instead, you need to look toward Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and maybe keep your eye on Honor's Magic V6, which is similarly svelte and power-packed.
