After skipping a year, OPPO’s flagship foldable is back in Australia. The Find N6 is OPPO’s most ambitious foldable to date, touting a souped-up camera system and a “creaseless” display.
The Find N6 is available to pre-order outright now, ahead of an April 16 release date.
The OPPO Find N6 will be available on mobile plans from Vodafone from April 16. Vodafone offers the choice of 24-month and 36-month repayments. A 24-month term means you own your Find N6 faster, while a 36-month term lowers your monthly cost.
While Vodafone won’t have the phone until launch, we can estimate the rough price of an OPPO Find N6 plan. The standard process is to divide the price of the phone by repayment length, and then add that on to the base plan.
On a 36-month term, the handset repayment for the Find N6 is about $91, and Vodafone’s cheapest SIM-only plan is $53 per month when excluding any promotional discounts. This means you’d be looking at around $144 per month for a 60GB Find N6 plan on a 36-month term.
Vodafone is, however, doing a $500 disount at launch, which would mean the monthly handset repayment drops to $78 on a 36-month term. This would bring the repayment down to $131 per month.
The OPPO Find N6 sells for $3,299 in Australia. That’s a $600 price increase on the Find N3, which is the last book-style foldable OPPO launched locally.
Customers who pre-order the Find N6 can score an OPPO AI Pen Kit for free. This is normally valued at $199. OPPO will also throw in a 12-month screen protection plan valued at $299, which allows for a one-time free screen replacement for both the internal and external display.
Customers who pre-order via JB Hi-Fi also score the OPPO AI Pen Kit, but also get $150 in bonus credit when trading in an old phone.
Editor’s Pick: The best NBN 500 plan
Dodo’s NBN 500 Unlimited plan is our pick for the best NBN 500 plan for March.
The Find N6 is a book-style foldable. On the outside, there’s a 6.62-inch display, and when you unfold it, there’s a larger 8.12-inch panel. Both use LPTO OLED technology and have a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone itself is 8.93mm when folded up, making it one of the thinnest foldables around.
OPPO’s real point of difference, however, is the “creaseless” internal display. While most foldable phones have a prominent crease where the screen bends, OPPO has minimised it to the point where it may as well not be there. You can still see a faint crease at extreme angles, but this is the closest a manufacturer has gotten to solving one of the key annoyances with foldable phones.
The Find N6 has decent durability credentials with an IP59 rating. This means it can survive immersion, as well as high-pressure water jets.
OPPO has kitted out the Find N6 with stylus support, but this is sold as an additional accessory. The stylus plus case bundle is an extra $199.
The Find N6 has three cameras on the back: a 200MP primary lens, a 50MP 3x zoom lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. Both the internal and external display have a 20MP selfie camera.
The Find N6 has a 6,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, both using OPPO’s proprietary tech. OPPO says the battery offers up to 26 hours of video playback per charge. In Australia, you still get a wired charger in the Find N6 box.
The Find N6 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This is one of the fastest chips you’ll find in an Android phone right now.
The Find N6 5G naturally has 5G connectivity. You can use WhistleOut’s coverage checker tool to
see whether 5G is available in your area. You just need to enter your address
when searching for a new phone plan.
The map below shows you what kind of coverage you have in your area. 5G coverage is highlighted using the darkest
shade of purple, but unticking 4G can help make it clearer. You can use the drop-down menu to choose between
telcos.
Note: Coverage maps are only approximate, only show outdoor coverage, and may be impacted by
local conditions such as buildings.
The Find N6 has eSIM support as well as a physical SIM card slot. eSIM (an electronic SIM or embedded SIM) is a rewritable SIM card that’s built directly into the phone. It never leaves your phone. Instead, you simply download a “software SIM” from your provider of choice.
Vodafone is the only provider selling the Find N6. Here’s a quick look at the key benefits of its plans.
Vodafone plans may not come with the kinds of freebies and perks you can get from Optus or Telstra, but they have bonuses when it comes to bundling.
If you have a Vodafone mobile plan, you can get most of the telco’s internet plans – NBN, 5G home internet, and 4G home internet – at a discounted rate.
Vodafone customers also save $5 per month if they bundle a second mobile plan on to their account, and then an extra $15 for each plan after.
Vodafone postpaid plans are all free from excess data charges. When you go over your plan allowance, you’ll be capped at 2Mbps.
You’ll also get access to Vodafone’s famous $5 roaming, which is still easily the best way to travel with your Australian phone number.
Thanks to a network sharing agreement with Optus, Vodafone’s network coverage is now 98.4% of the population. That’s only 0.1% lower than Optus itself. Vodafone does still have Australia’s smallest 5G network, however.
