Display

Honor Magic V is a bigger foldable device, it is taller and more user friendly in all respect because of its aspect ratios. When unfolded the display measures 7.9-inches with OLED display and 90Hz refresh rate support. It is protected by Corning gorilla glass but no water/dust resistant certification.

The cover screen has 6.45-inch OLED with 120Hz refresh rate and a 2560 x 1080px resolution (21:9 aspect). On the other hand, OPPO Find N is more compact. When unfolded, the display is 7.1-inch LTPO OLED with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate support.

But the cover display with 5.9-inch AMOLED has no higher refresh rate and no water resistant certification. In Overall, the Honor Magic V’s foldable main display and cover screen are bigger in size for productivity than that of OPPO Find N. So it all boils down user preference here.

OPPO Find N has a good camera setup. A 50 MP OIS main camera, alongside a 13 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and finally, a 16 MP for an ultrawide angle. Upfront, it has a 32MP selfie camera. The 50 MP rear camera can shoot video in 4k resolution.

While the Honor Magic V has a 50 MP main shooter, supported by a 50MP color spectrum shooter and 50MP ultrawide lens. There are two 42MP selfie cameras housed in punch hole cutouts on the cover screen and on the main screen. The rear main and front cameras can record video in 4k resolution.
