Summary

  • Oppo is reportedly gearing to launch the Find N6 as the world's first Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 foldable.
  • The brand will also launch the compact Find X9s and the top-of-the-line Find X9 Ultra thereafter.
  • All three phones are expected to debut in China separately, starting with the Oppo Find N6 in 2026.

When it comes to folding phones, Oppo has been one of the leading players in the market with its "Find N" lineup. After the success of the Find N5 in China and globally this year, it looks like the brand is about to up its game with the Find N6 in 2026.

Oppo Find N6 specifications will be impressive on paper

The latest Weibo post from Digital Chat Station (DCS) has revealed that Oppo is prepping the upcoming Find N6 book-style folding phone with Qualcomm's latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Moreover, there is a strong possibility that it could become the first foldable phone with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

For context, the Oppo Find N5 launched back in February 2025 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. At launch, the smartphone became the first 8 Elite folding phone in the world. So, we believe that Oppo would like to continue the momentum and make sure to gain the "world's first" crown in 2026 as well.

This doesn't come as a surprise since in a previous leak, the Oppo Find N6 processor was tipped to be the 8 Elite Gen 5.  Moreover, in the same post, the upcoming foldable was revealed to bring an 8.1-inch inner folding display and a 6.6-inch outer main screen. It is also tipped to bring a 50 MP Sony LYT-808 main camera, a 50 MP 3x periscope lens and a customisable AI button.

The latest leak from DCS doesn't stop at the Find N6 and reveals that Oppo is planning to introduce the Find X9 Ultra and the Find X9s next. Likely, all three phones will not launch together, given that the past models didn't either. So, expect to see the Find N6 launch in February 2026, followed by the Find X9s and the Find X9 Ultra launch sometime in April 2026.

In terms of specifications, the Find X9 Ultra is said to feature a 200 MP Sony IMX09E main camera, an IMX09A 3x periscope lens and improved long-range zoom. We can expect it to draw its power from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip as well, just like the Find N6.

On the other hand, the Find X9s specs are said to include the Dimensity 9500 processor, a compact 6.3-inch display, over 7,000mAh battery capacity and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

That said, there are still some months left before all three phones go official in 2026. So, take the current Find N6 leaks with a pinch of salt  till the brand starts teasing it officially.
