Oppo launched the Find N5 in the first quarter of this year as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered foldable phone.

According to the tipster, Oppo’s next foldable phone equipped with the SM8850 chipset is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2026. The SM8850 model number reportedly belongs to the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, which is expected to debut in September of this year.
While the tipster has not specified the name of the device, it is evident that he could be talking about the Oppo Find N6. Oppo is said to be striving for an even thinner foldable profile with the Find N6. The previous generation, Find N5, had already achieved an industry-leading 8.93mm thickness, beating many bar-style flagship devices.
Now that the Find N5 is tipped to launch in Q1 2026, it is likely that it may debut as the world’s first foldable equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. At present, there is no information about the other specs of the device.
As far as this year is concerned, Oppo is reportedly working on the Find X9 series of smartphones for the Chinese market. Expected to launch this year, the Find X9, X9+, and Find X9 Pro are said to be equipped with the Dimensity 9500c chipset. Unlike the Find X8 Pro, the X9 Pro is expected to feature a single 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.
The Find X9 Ultra, expected to launch in Q1 2026, may continue to feature dual periscope cameras like its predecessor. Instead of a Dimensity chip, the device may feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.
