Summary of "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.
Unique points by speaker
Only one speaker is present in the provided subtitles (no separate reviewers/voices).
