Why You Can’t Get Your Hands on the New Oppo Find N5 in Europe
In a surprising move, Oppo has declared that its latest folding phone, the Find N5, will not be hitting European shores anytime soon. Despite a global launch event and much anticipation, Oppo cited intricate market analysis and strategic considerations as the driving factors behind this decision.
While the Find N5 will find its way to China and Singapore, its availability in other regions remains uncertain. Unfortunately, this exclusion extends to the United States, where Oppo has yet to establish a presence for its devices, leaving many enthusiasts disappointed.
As Oppo diverts its focus towards the Reno 13 series of mid-range phones, which are set to land in Europe, the absence of the Find N5 opens up a void in the foldable market, particularly in regions where Oppo is absent. This absence could give competitors like Samsung an edge with its upcoming Z Fold 7, facing reduced rivalry in markets where Oppo doesn’t operate.
For those eagerly eyeing the Find N5, a trip to Asia seems to be the only current option, unless future developments alter Oppo’s distribution strategy. In the interim, Europe’s foldable landscape remains dominated by Samsung, Google, and a select few, as Oppo’s latest innovation remains out of reach for European tech enthusiasts.
