Galaxy Z Fold 8 rival is launching globally with even bigger batteries

While Samsung will face tough competition from Apple in the foldable smartphone market this year, it is not the company’s only rival. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 will also face competition from the OPPO Find N6. It is set to launch later this month in China and is expected to feature a larger battery, faster charging, and more advanced camera hardware.

OPPO has already revealed the design and some specifications of the Find N6. The company will hold a global launch event for the phone on March 17, 2026. OPPO claims the Find N6 has an ultra-flat foldable display with little to no visible crease and maintains a smooth surface even after prolonged use. The device will also support OPPO’s AI Stylus, which works on both the 6.62-inch cover OLED display and the 8.12-inch foldable OLED display with Ultra Thin Glass (UTG).

On the back, the phone features a triple-camera setup that includes a 200MP primary camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, and a 50MP telephoto camera with OIS and a periscope-style zoom lens. It has two 20MP front-facing cameras, one for each display.

The OPPO Find N6 is equipped with the 7-core version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It is expected to come with at least 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The phone is powered by a 6,000mAh battery and supports 80W fast charging.

Unlike last year, OPPO plans to release its new flagship foldable phone in several Asian and European markets.

In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to be available in two versions: a regular model and a wide-screen variant. Both devices could be powered by an 8-core Snapdragon processor and offer 12GB or 16GB of RAM, along with at least 256GB of internal storage. The wider version will go head-to-head with the first foldable iPhone.

Both devices are expected to feature a 200MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, and 10MP selfie cameras. The phones could be powered by a 5,000mAh battery and support 45W fast charging. Both models are expected to launch in July 2026.
