Oppo Find N6 Flip leaks - competition in the folding smartphone market will soon become very intense
Oppo may soon return to compact foldable flip smartphones with a new Find N6 Flip model, which is likely to be launched in the first quarter of 2026. Sources say that it will be part of the updated Find N6 lineup, which will go on sale no later than March 2026.
Here's What We Know
At the heart of the new product will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (chip code SM8850), the leading platform for Android flagships in 2026; Find N6 is likely to be the first foldable smartphone to feature it. The body will largely consist of titanium for maximum strength and lightness. The Find N6 is expected to be thinner and lighter than the current Find N5 (229g, 4.2mm when open).
Why it is interesting
The year 2026 promises to be a renaissance for foldable devices. The anticipation of the first foldable iPhone has revived the market and companies that have already had experience, such as Oppo and Xiaomi, are going to return to this niche. The last folding Oppo was the Find N3 Flip model, which was released in August 2023. The Chinese company abandoned this niche without significant sales. Oppo probably expects that when the foldable iPhone is released, it will be easier to work in this niche. No one knows whether Apple itself will be able to succeed in this niche, but it will definitely increase attention to the form factor, so at least in the domestic Chinese market, demand for such phones will increase.
Most analysts are of the opinion that 2026 will be a boom year for folding phones with a multiple increase in market share. Flip phones are very technologically advanced solutions, so increased competition is definitely good news for customers.
