A Sneak Peek at the Oppo Find N5
The Oppo Find N5, following the beloved Find N3, is nearing its grand launch. Recent sightings on multiple global certification platforms—including SIRIM in Malaysia and SDPPI in Indonesia—hint that this foldable smartphone is primed for its worldwide debut. Could it be ready to launch in Q1 2025, possibly just after the Chinese New Year on January 29? If the buzz is credible, the Find N5 could potentially elevate the premium foldable market.
Why No Oppo Find N4?
Curiously, Oppo has chosen to leapfrog the number 4 in its product naming, moving directly from the Find N3 to the Find N5. This decision, far from arbitrary, aligns with Chinese cultural beliefs. In Chinese, the number 4 (四, sì) sounds like the word for “death” (死, sǐ), rendering it an unlucky digit for many. By sidestepping the number 4, Oppo displays sensitivity to its audience, particularly in its home market. Other tech giants in Asia, like OnePlus, share this cultural awareness, emphasizing the importance of brand perception.
Certifications: What Do They Reveal?
The global variant of the Find N5, identified by the model number CPH2671, has successfully navigated critical certification processes. Notable approvals include: SIRIM (Malaysia) with validity through December 2029, and SDPPI (Indonesia) registration confirming readiness for market. Furthermore, the camera specifications are impressive: a 50MP rear camera and a 28MP front camera, both equipped with electronic image stabilization. These certifications indicate that Oppo is diligently working to ready the Find N5 for a successful global rollout.
