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
I'm using one foldable for literally everything... So the processing power also plays a part in my decision making hais ..

i have N5 and OP13 so i can pretty much say the difference isnt too much missing that 1 lower clocked core. 7C Elite is still faster than the 8G3 that vivo decided to use back

Do you do any video editing on your N5?? That's also one thing that I do quite often...

not to that extent, but if N3 is doing fine i dun think it differs that much tbh, esp on foldables with no active cooling. Even my redmagic 10 Pro with active cooling cannot keep up the clock stability % in 3dmark stress test

My N5 SOT only 4 hours plus battery left 38%. Quite disappointed. Review say can get up to 10 hours. Only watch Netflix for 2 hours. Something wrong?

Not even using the inner screen throughout
My N5 SOT still 6 hours +- with 30%-35% left. I don't play game. Just WhatsApp + Rednotes + FB and others like banking apps, stock apps etc. Rednotes took around 40% of total usage...

Anyone else having these issues with the N5? Overall, I still find it okay, even though the F7 and V5 are super tempting.
(1)The phone randomly restarts while I’m using it — happens like once every 3–4 days.
(2)The font size changes on its own from Small to Standard — usually when I switch from small screen to big screen and then back.
(3)Auto-rotate acts weird — I turn it on, switch to big screen, watch a YouTube video in fullscreen, then when I exit fullscreen, it stops auto-rotating. Even if I manually toggle it, it doesn’t work unless I switch back to small screen or exit YouTube again — then it works fine.

Other than (3) I don't have other issues

perhaps one thing a bit annoying is the vibration is very weak and resulting missed out notifications and calls. although the settings all set to max already.

You might want to consider reset all settings then see how?
(3) Could be app related issue, like Brave browser also having some

The earpiece is a bit weird. You need to find the right angle to get the speaker directed to your ears. So far my best angle is when the center bottom of the phone is at my nose when I am taking a call
