They said it was Glass...

Product reviewed

OPPO Find N6 folding phone (review/tear-down focusing heavily on crease durability and internal construction).

---

Key features mentioned

Fold / crease

• “Center crease basically non-existent.”
• Uses thicker auto-smoothing flex glass on the center screen to reduce the crease.
• Reported hinge system: “Zero Field Titanium Flexion hinge”
  • Incorporates blue photopolymer 3D-printed layer to increase flatness by 75%
  • Reduces surface height variations to 0.05 mm (about a human hair width)

Screens

• Outer/front: 6.6-inch nano-crystal glass
  • Described as having a removable plastic cover; underlying glass is harder and more scratch-resistant in the test.
• Inner/fold center: 8.1-inch soft flexible screen
  • Uses auto-smoothing flex glass
• Scratch tests (Jerryrig-style scale):
  • Center soft screen with “auto-smoothing flex glass” still scratches at level 2
  • Deeper gouges at level “fingernail”
  • Outer front glass scratches at about level 6, with deeper grooves around level 7

Charging (in-box accessories)

• Includes an 80W charger
• 80W USB-C 3.1 port on the bottom
• Wireless charging supported
  • Rear uses plastic (instead of glass) to help with thinner design and wireless longevity
• Comparison noted: iPhone 17 wireless charging at 25W

Body / materials

• Side frame: aluminum
• Top/side buttons include AI button
• Spine: grade 5 titanium
  • Reviewer notes an audible difference when increasing volume (aluminum vs titanium)

Cameras (rear)

• “Frisbee-size” camera array:
  • 50MP periscope telephoto
  • 50MP ultrawide
  • 200MP main camera
  • Color calibration sensor mentioned
• Front cameras:
  • Exterior front-facing camera: 20MP, protected by glass
  • Interior selfie camera: 20MP, covered with plastic

Audio / microphones

• Multiple microphones and speaker setup (top speaker + bottom stereo loudspeaker mentioned)

Water / dust resistance

• IP rating claims referenced as covered by a red rubber ring on the SIM tray:
  • IP56 / IP58 / IP59 mentioned
• Later narration says the Find N6 has IP5 dust resistance
  • Minor dust ingress possible, but not enough to cause malfunctions (as observed in teardown/testing notes)

---

Pros (as stated / shown)

• Much less noticeable crease than typical folding phones
  • Attributed to thicker auto-smoothing flex glass.
• Improved durability in bending tests
  • Survives repeated bending/pressure tests without catastrophic damage or permanent kinks
  • Hinge/internal mechanism maintain full range of motion (no permanent jam noted)
• Strong build materials
  • Grade 5 titanium hinge/spine construction emphasized as contributing to durability
• Great charging capability
  • Included 80W charger and 80W USB-C 3.1 port
• Wireless charging compatibility
  • Rear panel is plastic, said to be thinner, longer-lasting, and supportive of wireless charging

---

Cons / issues (as stated / shown)

• Scratch resistance isn’t dramatically improved on the center soft screen
  • Still scratches at level 2 even with “auto-smoothing flex glass”
  • Deeper with fingernail pressure
• Not easy to repair
  • Folding phones “are not very easy phones to fix”
  • If the center screen needs replacement, it likely requires opening the phone and handling internal disconnection/replacement
• Teardown shows high vulnerability at the flexible-screen edge
  • Reviewer mistake: poked the flexible-screen edge with a knife tip, causing that edge area to fail (“kick the bucket”)
  • Implies border/watertight edge protection is critical and easy to damage during repair
• Hard to service hinge / screen externally
  • Internal screen must be disconnected from inside for replacement

Comparisons made

Versus Samsung foldables

• Compared generally to Samsung Fold/Flip, including contrast between:
  • Samsung glass behavior vs OPPO’s plastic back approach
  • Crease-related behavior in durability context
• Durability testing commentary:
  • Reviewer says Samsung Galaxy Fold never snapped in their tests
  • Samsung Trifold did snap
• OPPO claim contrasted with Samsung:
  • Auto-smoothing glass layer described as “50% thicker than Samsung’s” (linked to reduced crease visibility)

Versus iPhone wireless charging

• OPPO Find N6: 50W wireless charging mentioned
• iPhone 17: 25W wireless charging

Versus another OPPO model

• Mentions potential interest in OPPO X9 for sensor-shift technology comparison (camera context)
• No direct test on X9 included—only mentioned as a future tear-down idea

Ratings / numbers explicitly stated

Scratch levels (reviewer’s scale)

• Inner center soft screen: level 2 scratched; deeper grooves at fingernail
• Outer front glass: level 6 scratches; deeper grooves at level 7

Charging

• 80W included charger
• 80W USB-C 3.1

Battery capacity

• Larger battery: 3,225 mAh
• Smaller battery: 2,775 mAh
• Total: 6,000 mAh

Hinge manufacturing claims

• 75% increase in hinge flatness
• 0.05 mm surface variation reduction

Display endurance claim

• Rated for one million regular folding motions

Wireless charging comparison context

• Find N6 wireless coils described as 50W
• iPhone 17: 25W

IP rating discrepancy noted in narration

• SIM tray ring mentions IP56 / IP58 / IP59
• Later says dust rating appears to be IP5

Screen stress behavior

• Flex screen “lasts” about 12 seconds before turning black and not recovering during a specific test moment

---

Overall user experience / real-world feel (from narration)

• Reviewer emphasizes physical durability (hinge and bending survival).
• Crease is portrayed as visually improved, but they caution scratch resistance on the inner screen is still limited.
• Build described as premium and technically dense (“crammed in” components), including multiple speakers/mics and a large camera stack.

---

Availability note

• Reviewer states the Find N6 is not sold in the USA and not in Europe, but available “everywhere else.”

---

Verdict / recommendation

Impressive engineering and durability for a folding phone—especially around crease reduction and hinge resilience—but expect only modest scratch resistance on the inner soft screen and plan for difficult repairs if anything happens to the flexible display/edge sealing.
