I couldn’t push the limits of the phone in my brief time with it and only used it for street photography. Pictures showed good contrast and detail – even when zoomed in to 100 per cent – what one would expect from a flagship device. Night shots were done hand-held and were well rendered. Pixel peepers will notice that fine detail on night shots is a bit soft when zoomed in but is still fine for socials.
The Gen-Z inspired “0.5” method of taking selfies involves using the rear-facing wide-angle lens to take selfies. This captures better images as the rear-facing cameras on phones are usually better than selfie cameras. It can be a hit-and-miss affair to the uninitiated since your screen faces away from you.
If you can’t wrap your head around this, you’ll appreciate using the cover screen on the Oppo Find N5 to control your camera. The screen and rear-facing cameras face you, making it much easier to compose selfies.
HOW IT STACKS UP
The Oppo Find N5 is a slim, powerful tech tour de force. When folded, it handles similarly to a single-screen device. When opened, it feels like a light, slim mini-tablet. Like all book-style foldables, its form factor means that it isn’t optimised for watching video content.
