The Oppo Find N5 wowed audiences at launch with its sleek design and tough hinge, but real-world durability questions remain. After Oppo showcased its foldable holding up 50kg across four devices, enthusiasts and reviewers were curious: what happens when the pressure is on just one device?
From Staged Stunts to Serious Stress
Oppo’s promo placed 20kg on a single unit (but not directly on the hinge) and later used four Find N5 units to hold 50kg, evenly distributing the weight. Impressive—but also arguably staged.
Enter State of Tech, a YouTube channel known for torture testing devices. The team previously tested the Galaxy Z Flip5, which survived over 400,000 folds, doubling Samsung’s claim. Now, they’ve turned their attention to the Find N5, using just one unit to test its hinge strength with nearly 45kg applied directly.
One Phone, One Hinge, Massive Pressure
In this far more intense and isolated test, the Find N5 had to bear the brunt of the load—unlike Oppo’s original test, where the weight was shared.
What happened?
Did the hinge crack under pressure? Did the phone buckle or survive to flex another day?

Implications for Foldable Durability
While marketing demonstrations can be exciting, real-world durability matters more. If the Oppo Find N5 holds its ground in independent tests, it could rival the best foldables on the market in both strength and innovation.
The verdict? Watch and decide—is the Find N5 just for show or built to endure?
