Good news for Oppo foldable fans! We are hearing Oppo is reportedly preparing to make a comeback in the flip phone segment in 2026. While the brand launched the Find N5 earlier this year, it hasn’t released a clamshell-style foldable since the Oppo Find N3 Flip in 2023. Meanwhile, Oppo has continued updating its lineup of book-style foldables.

Now, fresh leaks suggest a return to compact foldables could be on the cards. Here’s what we know so far.

Oppo Find N6 and Find N6 Flip Details Surface

According to a leak from reliable tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, Oppo is working on two new foldables, the Find N6 and a potential flip variant. Earlier reports have already suggested that the Find N6 will be the world’s first foldable phone to feature the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. Building on that, the tipster claims the device will also incorporate a notable amount of titanium in its construction, hinting at a more premium and durable build.

The Find N6 is expected to be slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, the Find N5v. For reference, the Find N5 weighs 229 grams and measures just 4.2mm when unfolded. The N6 is speculated to launch in the first quarter of 2026 even before the Find X9 Ultra, which is likely to arrive in the Chinese market by March 2026.

Interestingly, the tipster also revealed that Oppo intends to restart development of its compact clamshell foldables next year. As of now, core specifications and an exact launch window remain unknown.

However, this move strongly suggests the company is planning a return to the flip phone segment, possibly with a device called the Find N6 Flip. The final name is still unconfirmed.
