OPPO’s Find N6 foldable smartphone launched in Japan on April 15, 2026, featuring a titanium 3D-printed hinge developed by Bright Laser Technologies that reduced display creasing by 50% compared to its predecessor.
The hinge’s wing plates, which absorb most folding stress, were consolidated from up to 13 machined components into a single lattice-structured titanium part using additive manufacturing, improving flatness while cutting weight and assembly complexity.
OPPO said the Find N6 represents a significant step forward in foldable display technology, crediting the improvement to both the next-generation titanium Tianqiong hinge and Tianqiong memory glass, as well as collaborative engineering within the Tianqiong Partners alliance.
The device passed 600,000 folding cycles certified by TÜV Rheinland, validating durability claims alongside its flat display, which OPPO markets as the flattest in the world for a foldable smartphone.
Inside its 8.9mm slim body, the Find N6 houses a 6,000mAh battery enabled by OPPO’s Silicon Carbon Anode Technology, supporting approximately 26 hours of continuous video playback and 80W SUPERVOOC flash charging.
The rear camera system includes a 200-megapixel wide-angle lens with OIS, developed jointly with Hasselblad, which offers specialized modes such as High Resolution, XPAN, and Portrait to emulate medium-format photography.
Additional features include a 6.6-inch cover screen, an 8.1-inch main display, a Snap Key for one-touch access to AI functions, and stylus support, positioning the Find N6 as a premium productivity-focused foldable.
How does the Find N6’s hinge design differ from earlier OPPO foldables?
The Find N6 uses a second-generation titanium Tianqiong hinge with wing plates produced via titanium 3D printing, consolidating up to 13 separate components into one lightweight, lattice-structured part — a shift from the multi-piece machined assemblies used in the Find N5.
What role did BLT play in the Find N6’s development?
Bright Laser Technologies produced the titanium 3D-printed hinge wing plates for the OPPO Find N6, managing the full metal additive manufacturing process from powder development and process optimization to component production and post-processing.
