Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 vs Oppo Find N5 Fold : By 2025, foldable phones had become practical, durable, and fast enough, with the two heavyweight contenders in the high-end foldable space- The Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 and the Oppo N5 Fold. Stuffed with features, these phones flaunt an elegant foldable design with some muscle under the hood- but the two do slightly contrast user requirements. Let’s zoom in on some majorly key differentiators between the two to ease your decision about which goes into your pocket.
Design and Build Quality
When it comes to design, the Mix Fold 4 is slimmer and lighter and far superior to the old model. Within a design cult of glass and metal design, the Mix Fold 4 is the result of an incredibly refined hinge design for smooth folding and durable use. The design team held that minimising visibility of the crease undercut the usefulness of the outer display.
Oppo Find N5 Fold, too, walks with this same tradition of highly compact folding. The aspect ratio will complement its one-hand folding operation. Feels premium and solidly built, whilst practically seamless in use-audibly nice without a visible crease along the folding hinge.
Display Experience
The Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 offers an 8.03-inch inner 2K LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate that supports Dolby Vision. The outer display also looks good: a 6.56-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
On the other hand, the Oppo Find N5 Fold uses a 7.1-inch inner LTPO AMOLED display with a smaller outer display at 5.8 inches, while having a more user-friendly aspect ratio for one-handed use. The Xiaomi’s inner screen feels bigger and immersive; however, the whole setup from Oppo makes more sense when it comes to daily use.
Performance and Software
Both phones are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processors, which is a good flag for anything one may imagine regarding gaming, multitasking, or video editing. The Mix Fold 4 runs HyperOS (based on Android 14), which is optimised for foldable use. Find N5 Fold from Oppo employs ColorOS Fold, which offers amazing multitasking utilities such as split-screen view, floating windows, and drag-and-drop support.
In terms of software optimisation, the Xiaomi method did get quite a significant improvement, but when it comes to front-end optimisation for foldable screens, it is still not anywhere close to Oppo. This leaves a positive impact on the entire feel of the experience, as the Oppo software seems to make the journey from one screen/app to another quite natural.
Camera Capabilities
Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, with its 50MP quad-camera system co-engineered with Leica, which integrates telephoto and ultra-wide lenses, celebrates its owner with razor-sharp images and awesome colours that benefit from Leica’s software enhancements.
By the Find N5 Fold camera specs, the triple-camera setup is tuned by Hasselblad with a 50MP pleasing to detail, colour, and low-light performance. Both are marvellous cameras, but I would lean towards the Xiaomi for its more versatile setup with better zooming capabilities.
Battery and Charging
5000mAh battery within the Mix Fold 4 allows boosting fast 67W charging, finishing full charge for the party in about 40 minutes. To add insult to injury, there’s 50W wireless charging.
Find N5 Fold has lesser specifications on this front: 4800mAh battery, 67W wired charging, and 30W wireless charging. It serves reasonably well in battery life, but Xiaomi wins in wireless charging pace and slightly in battery optimisation.
Price and Value
They both belong to the ultra-premium category. The price for the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is expected to land somewhere around ₹1.30 lakh, while the sale for the Oppo Find N5 Fold could be very slightly lesser at around ₹1.25 lakh. It thus ends up being a bit of a toss-up as per one’s needs- a little bit more screen size, camera hardware, and battery technology on the side of Xiaomi versus the form factor and fluid overall foldable software experience on the Oppo side which might sweeten the deal for some practical-minded users.
If screen real estate and camera prowess matter, with wireless charging to literally under an hour-Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is certainly the pick. It is truly the right answer for content creators and media enthusiasts or just someone who wants the foldable that has grown bigger with no intention of being pocket-friendly, almost like a mini-tablet in one’s hands.
It is again aiming for another set of users; those adjusted seekers who prefer a compact, neat feel with a simple interface and decent comfort for one hand to use. The Oppo caters to someone who values power and productivity in this era.
