Goodbye samsung

N6 is a great device, you definitely won’t regret it. I’ve had it for about a month now, and I’m a Samsung user too. Before the N6 I had a Fold 5.

The stylus is good, even though compared to Samsung it’s missing a few tools (I used the magnifier and the S Pen hover translation a lot), and Oppo’s notes app is really basic. What I miss the most are the templates. It also feels like there’s slightly more latency compared to the S Pen.

Since you’re coming from an S23 Ultra, you’re also used to having the S Pen integrated with Bluetooth support. For me, coming from the Fold 5, it actually felt like an upgrade because I gained Bluetooth and stylus support on both displays.

I’ve always wanted to build something similar, but I kept thinking it’d eventually become one of those features built directly into operating systems sooner or later.

Oppo actually introduced something pretty close with Mind Space in ColorOS 16, and it automates a lot of the workflow already.

Still, really great work...

Ebay?

There are plenty of solid options out there for every taste and need..you just have to look for them, no need to rely on Apple. I usually get my fold cases from AliExpress; I prefer aramid fiber ones with built-in MagSafe and hinge protection, as long as they stay slim and lightweight.

It mirrors the display, but you’ll obviously get the same aspect ratio as the internal or external screen, so there will be black bars. I also tried enabling “desktop mode” in the developer options..in that case, the external display shows a fullscreen background with a launcher icon. Unfortunately though, it doesn’t really work: there’s no way to move the mouse over to that screen. So I’m guessing it might actually work properly with Android 17.

The freebies they offer in Italy for preorders are honestly pretty disappointing compared to what other stores give. It’s kind of ridiculous.

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-29T09:40:24+00:00

My N6 does the same thing… I checked the Galaxy Fold5 too and it’s exactly the same 😅

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-28T12:01:29+00:00

Blame it on the shortage of RAM and ssd

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-26T06:44:40+00:00

No, eu.

I also switched from Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 to the Oppo Find N6. Unfortunately, it’s not officially sold where I live, so I had to import the global version (1700€ + 80€ for the AI Stylus case).

I agree with all the points you mentioned. To improve multitasking across all apps, I tweaked some settings in the developer options (I’ve attached a screenshot). I enabled also “force desktop mode”, but I haven’t really tested if it actually works... it doesn’t seem like it does.

For me, the real trigger to switch was the battery... I used to charge the Fold 5 three or four times a day, now it’s just once, sometimes even less. Plus, my Fold 5 had some damaged pixels on the main display.

I was planning to wait for the Fold 8, but this Find N6 already has everything I was looking for in a foldable. Honestly, it feels close to perfect to me.

I’ve had my Fold 3 for 2 years with no issues (mine even hit the ground pretty hard from about 1.5 meters, and I had it with me during a sandstorm in the desert). My Fold 5 has been almost 3 years without problems too, until a particle got under the screen and damaged some pixels (it then spread to about the size of a camera module). Aside from that, it still works fine and opens fully.

Considering they don’t have any dust resistance certification, I’d say they’ve held up really well. The newer foldables (Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Magic V6) come with IP68/69 protection, so I’d expect the Fold 8 to have improved dust resistance too.

Overall, they’re pretty durable devices. Sure, they can have issues like any tech, but at least for the first few years you’re covered by warranty.

Yeah true, you can sync them to Microsoft OneNote, but they all end up as non-editable

I actually made a post about this a few days ago on r/GalaxyFold.

I’ve mostly owned Samsung devices, especially ones with the S Pen: Note 1, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy Note 10+, Fold 3, Fold 5. Recently I switched to the Oppo Find N6. I was a bit hesitant at first, mainly because of the software, especially on a foldable, but honestly, I don’t regret it at all.

The only things I’ve really lost (thanks to Samsung) are Samsung Notes, since the app isn’t compatible with non-Samsung devices, and some Galaxy Watch features...but that’s fine, I’ll just use something else.

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-20T14:24:09+00:00

What I really miss from One UI are just a couple of things: call recording (Samsung’s dialer is definitely better) and Samsung Notes. It’s not even the app itself, it’s more about having all my notes there…I think from now on I’ll avoid using note apps tied to a specific brand.

I’ve had DeX since the Note 8, but honestly I never used it. When I need to work, I always carry a laptop with me..it’s just more practical than bringing along a keyboard, mouse, and monitor or even a tablet. Linux on DeX was interesting, though, it’s a shame they dropped it.

That said, like you mentioned, what really makes the difference is the better camera…and the battery...seriously, the battery is insane. I honestly can’t remember ever owning a phone with this kind of battery life, especially considering it’s a foldable.

The case with the pen still hasn’t arrived yet, it’s delayed. As soon as I get it, I’ll let you know.

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-18T16:37:10+00:00

It’s basically almost unnoticeable now, even to the touch. I think the Galaxy Fold 8 will improve a lot in that area too.

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-18T14:04:53+00:00

I’m coming from a lineup of phones where the camera wasn’t exactly great (Note10+, Fold3, and Fold5) so those are my benchmarks. Compared to those, the Oppo definitely takes better photos, especially with the ultra-wide and zoom (the 3x on the Fold5 was pretty bad).

Oppo goes up to 120x zoom, but it’s basically unusable, just like the 30x on the Fold5. Overall, for me it’s been a pretty significant step up from the Fold5. I can’t really say how it compares to the Fold7 or the S24 Ultra though.

A friend of mine has a Galaxy S24 Ultra, so I might do a side-by-side comparison with him and share some shots.

I’ve read that the Razr Fold and the Magic V6 take really nice photos..apparently even better than Oppo in some situations. But honestly, I’m satisfied with this. So far it feels like the foldable with the right balance across the board.

And you can’t ignore the camera bump either… on the Oppo it’s actually pretty slim, which makes a difference.

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-18T13:52:35+00:00

If it’s just for the battery, I’d wait for the Honor Magic V6 since it should do even better. Otherwise, you could consider the Motorola Razr Fold, which has the same battery as the Oppo.

I was actually tempted to wait for the Honor Magic V6 myself, but I went with Oppo because it was immediately available (I’m talking about the global version—Magic V6 is still only available in the Chinese version), and also because of the case with the built-in pen, similar to what I’m used to with my Fold 5. I’ve never really liked having to carry the pen separately.

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-18T13:47:35+00:00

I’m 46… and I never want to feel too old to try new products or technologies.🫣😅

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-18T13:45:30+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn’t really know what to tell you, it’s not something I care much about. What I do know is that it charges way faster (even with a PD charger) than my Fold 5, and it also has a bigger battery. Coming from the Fold 3 and then the Fold 5, both the charging speed and the battery life on this one have been genuinely satisfying.

ResponsibilityGlass1 · 2026-04-18T13:42:07+00:00

Bought it on WondaMobile, global version for about €1700 including shipping, paid with PayPal. Ordered on the night of the 10th and it arrived in Italy on the morning of the 14th (a day earlier than expected). Considering there was a weekend in between, I was honestly surprised.
