I bought my first foldable last year and was considering v5 and n5.
N5 was using 7 core cpu and pricier than v5! I didn't have heat issues with v5 and didn't see reports from others on heat.
This year, n6 doing the same trick again.

n5 got overheating issue?

Main issue is the processor -

Short answer: Yes — early tests suggest the 2025 Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 tends to run hotter and throttle more than the 2024 Snapdragon 8 Elite, especially during sustained heavy workloads like gaming or stress tests. However, the real-world impact depends heavily on the phone’s cooling system.

Below is a clearer comparison.

1. Raw performance vs heat

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (2025) is significantly more powerful (new Oryon CPU architecture and stronger GPU).
In benchmarks it can deliver ~30% higher graphics performance than some previous chips. (Beebom Gadgets)

But that extra power also means more heat generation.

2. Thermal behavior (stress tests)

Tests show stronger throttling on the Gen 5 chip:

Chip	Stability in GPU stress test	What it means
Snapdragon 8 Elite (2024)	~46–62% stability	Performance drops moderately
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (2025)	~25–48% stability	Larger performance drop due to heat

In one stress test, performance dropped from 6,867 to 1,715 points (≈25% stability) because of thermal throttling. (Beebom Gadgets)
Some devices with the chip reached ~56 °C surface temperature during heavy graphics workloads. (Android Headlines)

This indicates more aggressive throttling than the previous generation.

3. Real-world usage

The overheating issue is not the same on every phone:

Gaming phones with fans or liquid cooling (e.g., RedMagic-style designs) can maintain performance better. (Android Authority)
Standard flagship phones with only a vapor chamber may throttle heavily after several minutes of gaming. (PhoneArena)

So the chip itself is powerful, but requires stronger cooling than typical phones provide.

Overall conclusion

Snapdragon 8 Elite (2024):
- Slightly cooler
- More stable sustained performance
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (2025):
- Much higher peak performance
- Runs hotter and throttles more under long gaming or benchmarks
- Needs better cooling systems to fully utilize its power

For gaming (like the game you play, Diablo Immortal):

Short sessions → Gen 5 will be faster.
Long sessions (30–60 min) → performance may drop unless the phone has strong cooling.

Personally if I wanna consider getting any 2026 phones, I will try to get something that have minimal processor overheating issues.

IF any 1 got to go to the event the -$150... if can use in shopee.... is no brainer liao...
but I believe only can use in oppo store/shop

for Oppo, i been buying from Singtel online without contract. N3 was 1.8 when MSRP was 2.3 iirc, then N5 i bought at 1.9 when MSRP was 2.5

I just compared its size against zf7... almosssst the same just 0.3mm diff 10g heavier than zf7
I think that's the thinnest folds can get.
I dont think zf8 will get as thin... some more than pump up their batt this time 5000mAh I think...
so interms of screen size, battery capacity n price.... Oppo wins!

fold X5 imo is overpriced at 2499 MSRP with its outdated CPU 8G3 in july 2025... u not hurry can just wait

Yup can feel the performance difference with full core 8e.. coming from vivo fold 5 honor v5 and now Samsung f7 lol..

10g actually got difference one.. my Vivo fold 5 was 10g heavier than my fold 7 and I can immediately feel the weight difference.. I use case -less tho lol...

No la i mean vivo fold 5 de 8 gen 3 vs 8 elite.. i played around with my fren de n5 cant tell much performance diff also... probably more obvious in heavy use..

The 1 lesser core not noticeable at all, even when playing games. I dont know under what situation then it will affect, but it hasnt affected me at all for the past 1 year with the N5. I occasionally play some games and there is no lag or stutter.

i rmb there was a user in N5 forum that said he would know the difference having 1 lesser lower-clocked core coz he edits videos in his phone, though i would argue that its gonna be not too much difference in total, but he argued that 1 sec difference machiam life and death situation liddat...

hope they can launch next weekend tech show

Computeron · Friday at 2:52 PM

I think even the earliest is the HWZ special launch event, on the spot can PO nia *which I dont think so*.
if not is 17th the 2nd earliest liao

1st stage usually is PO..
if lucky, few days after 17th they will ship. if not 1-2 wks.
