Barely a day after Oppo teased its first foldable smartphone, the Find N, serial leakster Evan Blass has shared some rather detailed renders of the device. We already know that the Oppo foldable phone will have the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3’s vertical clamshell design, but the renders reveal a triple camera setup at the rear.
The renders are reportedly from the official press kit, so the timing of this “leak” a day after the official reveal takes a rather generous leap of faith to take the leak part at face value. On the flip side, the almost-official nature of the press renders makes us more inclined to take the 50MP branding on the camera bump relatively more seriously.

This isn’t surprising considering how it makes sense for Oppo to repurpose the sensor from its 2021 flagship Find X3 Pro. That leaves the other two cameras to have the standard ultrawide and telephoto arrangement. The probability of the Find X3 Pro’s microscopic camera making it to the Find N seems unlikely unless, of course, these renders aren’t accurate.
Oppo seems to be leaving no stone unturned while trying to get maximum media coverage for its first foldable phone. The company had earlier plucked Pete Lau out of his role as the OnePlus CEO to take charge of the foldable phone project. Lau’s blog post announcing the Find N boasted of its genesis through four years of development that spawned six generations of prototypes.
The former OnePlus CEO emphasised that Oppo aims to deliver reliability and ease of use with the Find N, in what was a thinly veiled take on the debacle that was the launch of Samsung’s first foldable phone. Lau’s confidence seems to stem from four years of learning spread across multiple product iterations. Making foldable displays durable is a tall task, so only time will tell if Oppo’s confidence is backed by the actual product.
