Oppo Find N5

[tkte_85]

Thanks for the heads up... Guess I need to go play around to see which one suits me best...

N5 is definitely not gonna win the best camera category, but its bigger exterior screen and whole body slimness is currently the best, even compared to the coming Honor Magic V5 and Vivo Fold 5. haven touched the samsung yet, but not too interested as its OS still as unintuitive, and with the removal of SPen this year together with its price, i am not going to even bother looking at it for me, coming from N5 especially.
And previous iterations of Fold is the narrow front screen is the turn away factor for me. This year hear is different but i not sure as i dun have review unit

since u mentioned better cameras specifically, prob N5 is not gonna be the upgrade for you.

Went to touch and feel Oppo N5, Honor V5, Samsung F7... Oppo feels quite nice and big screen estate...but cameras... Decisions decisions...

I also had my hands on N5, V5 and F7. While F7 has very impressive spec and screen size, I find it least comfy in hand; almost feel like it may slip my palm when I "pry" too hard to open. I like N5 for the size albeit slightly heavier but speaker/vibration is weak. V5 seems to sit in the sweet spot of lightest, comfy in hand and good spec. Gut feeling says I will choose V5 for the best specs + comfy, N5 for the balanced price + spec. F7 is the last choice as the price is really obscene.

Yup yup kind of the same sentiments... Honor V5 with all the vouchers and selling off the gifts may be the cheapest...

I just bought the oppo find n5 after deciding either fold 7 or this but due to no s pen support and poor battery life, i choose this.

First time own oppo brand, does the OS has secure boot and have own apps install on it?

For N3 we have system cloner which I use for work... Something like parallel space... We have private safe too like Samsung's secure folder..

Had a hands on with Z Fold 7 and Honor Magic V5 and compared with my N5, tbh they look small beside my N5. and the Honor's camera bump i feel is abit too much for me, esp when they are trying to tell the world they are the slimmest?

Yup N5 still the tallest and largest inner screen...

Actually i feel the N3 camera is very good. Still beat all the new foldables from Honor and Samsung. Is V5 using the same tele lens as N3?

yes, both using 64mp Omnivision OV64B, just abit bigger aperture at f2.5 on Honor vs f2.6 on N3

Our hardware close to two years le... I played around with V5 and F7 I feel their main cams are much better leh haha...not sure about the tele hardware...

The only better main cam would be the F7 with its 200mp main. Tbh the V5's main camera is the IMX906 which is been around for a while already on realme GT7 series, Nubia Z60Ultra and Z70 Ultra and Xiaomi 14T. N5 is using the LYT700, which is a rebadged IMX890 used in alot of Oppo and Oneplus past flagship phones

Is it also the same sensor used in current and past Xperia 1 mk V/VI/VII?

You have a point there... I just wished there is a lens or comprehensive camera setup in a foldable that can take decent portrait UW and macro photos without much compromise...

which camera? if its main, from what i read, the camera they used is imx888 which is abit bigger sensor than IMX890/LYT700

right now i dun think theres a perfect phone that does all at once, even though Honor is close, but bragging about being the slimmest when the bump so big kinds of defeat the marketing. But also comes down to what factor is the deciding factor for each person. For me, the deciding factor is the bigger screens, not as picky for cameras so long as its decent enough can already. And the 7core SD8Elite tbh is not a big problem when the core they disabled is the lower clocked M core, not the 4.3Ghz one

Analysis of Sensor and Lens Differences:​

1. Oppo Find N3 vs. Oppo Find N5 (Evolution within Oppo):
   • Main Camera: The Find N3 uses the innovative Sony LYT-T808 with stacked pixel architecture, which is a very high-end sensor. The Find N5 appears to step down slightly to a Sony LYT-700C (smaller 1/1.56" sensor and f/1.9 aperture), indicating a possible shift in camera philosophy or cost-saving measures for the main sensor.
   • Ultra-Wide Camera: This is a notable downgrade on the Find N5, going from a 48 MP Sony IMX581 (1/2.0") on the N3 to an 8 MP (likely smaller sensor) on the N5. While the N5's ultrawide gains autofocus, the raw sensor capability is reduced.
   • Telephoto Camera: The N5's telephoto is 50 MP compared to the N3's 64 MP, but both maintain 3x optical zoom. The sensor size is not consistently specified for the N5's telephoto, so it's harder to make a direct comparison on that front without more details.
   • Selfie Cameras: The Find N5's selfie cameras (both inner and cover) are also downgraded to 8 MP from 20 MP/32 MP on the Find N3.
     Conclusion: The Oppo Find N5, while making strides in thinness and other areas, appears to have made some compromises in its camera hardware, particularly with the main, ultrawide, and selfie sensors, compared to its predecessor, the Find N3.
2. Honor Magic V5 vs. Oppo Find N5 (Direct Competitors):
   • Main Camera: The Magic V5 generally offers a larger f/1.6 aperture on its 50MP main sensor, which suggests superior low-light performance compared to the Find N5's f/1.9.
   • Periscope Telephoto: Both offer 3x optical zoom. The Magic V5 has a 64 MP sensor with a slightly wider f/2.5 aperture compared to the N5's 50 MP and f/2.7.
   • Ultra-Wide Camera: The Honor Magic V5 significantly outperforms the Oppo Find N5 here, offering a high-resolution 50 MP ultrawide with autofocus, compared to the N5's 8 MP ultrawide. This is a clear advantage for the Magic V5 for wide-angle and macro shots.
   • Selfie Cameras: The Magic V5 has higher resolution 20 MP selfie cameras (both inner and cover) with advanced 3D face unlock, while the Find N5 uses 8 MP sensors.
     Conclusion: The Honor Magic V5 seems to offer a more robust and higher-spec camera hardware package across the board compared to the Oppo Find N5, especially concerning the ultra-wide and selfie cameras, and generally wider apertures for better light gathering.

Overall: If camera hardware and raw sensor performance are a top priority, the Honor Magic V5 appears to be the strongest contender here, with consistently strong sensors and a distinct advantage in its ultrawide and selfie cameras. The Oppo Find N3 holds its own, especially with its unique LYT-T808 main sensor and Hasselblad tuning. The Oppo Find N5, while likely an impressive device in other aspects (like its extreme thinness, as noted in search results), seems to have taken a step back in certain camera hardware specifications compared to its predecessor, the Find N3.
