Oppo Find N5 Durability & As a Long Term Phone?

I have an opportunity to buy a Find N5 for just under $800 brand new and considering it, but where does it rank today relative to 2026's current slate of foldables?

Will it last me 3-4 years of light usage? I plan to keep it unfolded when home and only fold it when I go out rather than fold/unfold on every usage.

I'm OK with the OS, software, and everything else, but want to make sure the hinge holds up to use as a long term user.

I built an app that adds AI notification summaries to Realme/OnePlus/Oppo phones, and it can run fully on-device

When I switched from my Samsung to a OnePlus 15, I was pretty surprised that it doesn't have notification summaries. iPhone, Pixel and Samsung all have them, yet ColorOS/OxygenOS doesn't. So I built an app for myself, used it every day, and decided to release it. It's called Blurb, and it's on the Play Store.

What it does
When a chat blows up, Blurb waits for it to go quiet, then replaces the pile of notifications with one short summary, like "Family chat · Dinner is at Nonna's at 7, bring the folding chairs." Tap it to open the conversation in the original app.

Privacy

  • On-device mode runs Google's Gemma 4 (E2B, 2.6 GB, or E4B, 3.7 GB) locally on the GPU. You download it once, then it works offline.
  • With cloud fallback off, which is the default for on-device setups, your message text never leaves your phone.
  • Cloud is optional and uses your own key (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic or your own HTTPS endpoint). Text goes straight to the provider you pick, never through my servers. An optional setting swaps out phone numbers, emails, codes and addresses before upload.
  • Anonymous reliability diagnostics are on by default. They never include message text, summaries, names or your app list, and you can turn them off in Settings → Privacy.
  • Privacy policy: blurb.fyi/privacy

Pricing

  • Google Messages: free, including on-device mode.
  • Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Teams: 10 free summaries to try, then a one-time $6.49 Pro unlock. There's no subscription. If you use cloud mode, your provider bills API usage separately.

Setup
It needs notification access, since that's how it reads incoming messages.

I've got 15 free Pro codes to give out for access to all apps. Comment if you're interested and I'll DM you one! Would love to hear how it works on your phone.

Happy to answer questions, especially about the on-device side. Feature requests welcome!

Horrendous battery' life

Hi everyone, I've updated to the September security update on my find n5 and since then I am dealing with horrendous battery life ever since. Tried everything from Powersaving mode to disabling developer options to disabling background apps to not using the inner display as much nothing worked.

I own a OnePlus pad 2 as well and that's too having horrible battery life too resulting in 20% per hour drain on the tablet aswell and I heard that the X9 ultra update borked the súperovooc charging protocol. Could it be connected somehow?

I know that oxygenos and coloros share the same footsteps and they merged pretty much but wanted to ask. Thanks

I made Foldy - StandBy mode for android devices

Hi everyone,

In the recent release of the iPhone Duo, I have been seeing a lot of Duo's opening screen animations that have been recreated for the android foldable devices.

Even though it is cool, it wasn't the main feature that caught my eye.
it was their tent standby mode.

I am a mobile dev with 6+ years of experience and I wanted to challenge myself to see if it would be possible to recreate it on my fold 5.
That's why I am proudly presenting you:

Foldy - StandBy Mode

This is the version 1 so there are limited widgets available since I was implementing it to my own preferences and needs. Next one I have in plan is Google Home widget support.

If anyone tries it out, feel free to leave in the comments requests for new widgets.

Also, just a heads up, it has free tier (basic clock and calendar) and a paid version where you have other widgets. I understand if you hate it but I would appreciate your support.

It is 1€ per month with 3 day free trail option for you to try it out and see if you like it or a 9.99€ lifetime access.

PS:
Dont hate on my promo video, it was reallly hard to record it. I dont have 3 hands 😂
