World’s Thinnest Foldable Phone Launches Next Week – MacRumors

Oppo has confirmed a February 20 global launch for its Find N5, which the company claims is the world’s thinnest device in the foldable phone category. The phone is expected to be re-branded as the OnePlus Open 2 in the US.The Chinese vendor has been teasing the device in the last few weeks, touting its waterproofing and nearly invisible display crease, and highlighting its thinness by comparing it to Apple devices like the iPad Pro, which is Apple’s thinnest device to date.Oppo has shared a trailer of the Find N5, calling it “Slim, yet powerful.” Reports suggest the Find N5 is around 4mm thick. That beats the Honor Magic V3, which up until now was considered the thinnest foldable, which is 4.35mm thick when unfolded. The video also reveals some additional features, including a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an alert slider, and a cut-down camera bump. The ad shows the device in Cosmic Black and Misty White colors, but not the Twilight Purple color that is expected to be exclusive to the Chinese market.The smartphone market is currently fascinated with thinness.
