Just joined the find n5 group and upgrading from z fold 5.

Z fold 5 resale value is really low.

Anyone bought extended warranty and etc? Wonder worth getting.

Went to Pavillion KL OPPO.

Bought extended warranty only rm199!!! Everything is covered. Don't even need to keep receipt, cause based on serial number only. Warranty details immediately appear in my OPPO app.

Need to buy extended warranty within 7 days of activating phone.

Theres extended warranty option for screen, another rm199 which is covering drops, cracks etc. For my use case, don't need it.

SAMSUNG charges a lot then. Time to boycott Samsung.

After 7 days, cannot buy anymore? Thinking if getting the extended warranty as well.

Cannot. It's within. Not sure OPPO will play Grammer game.

So better get it fast.rm199 is definitely worth it. If u clumsy rm199 is worth for screen protection.

Got the pixel phone? Test there then can have conclusion. Maybe it's oppo compatibility with network.

Might be worth to log case with oppo

Not worth it. Oppo lacking deals like Samsung during preorder.

Somehow i didnt get any call nor sms thru this phone. But no problem with my Pixel. I'm using hotlink prepaid. Turned on everything edy.

Something odd really. Log a case with Oppo.



UPDATE: Ended up buying screen protection and extended warranty. Rm398.

Apparently Pavilion KL says the screen protector can get replacement at the service centre. Free up to 2 times a year. That’s for front and folded.

Anyone can confirm this? Not sure did I hear wrongly, that day was late and rushing a bit.

Not sure how much my Fold 5 still worth at Oppo shop, their Facebook page only shows this 2 ads, not much else info
*
I dont recall, i enquired at Mines oppo store. Very low. Even Samsung trade in is like RM1XXX. Very very low, since i am bias to compare with a much older iPhone. I recall CEX and CompAsia was bit higher.

Just go and quote cause it’s also based on condition. Mine unfortunately got a few dings on the middle frame. Dropped when the phone was folded. Probably why they deducted more.

Oppo magnetic case at least always cover the middle frame area which is good, lacking the front protection.


But one thing for sure, you wont regret getting this. I’m also z fold 5 user.

hi guys
im still kinda thinking to get this n5 phone
i wonder, to compare  with samsung OS, what are the different
usually samsung max give 5 of update OS for the device, what about oppo?
*
1) Samsung now does 7 years same as Google Pixel.
https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb

Oppo is 4 and 5 years security patches.

https://www.oppo.com/en/newsroom/press/colo...oftware-update/

This includes the commitment to guarantee four major ColorOS updates with 5 years of security patches for global users on selected flagship models starting in 2023.

I think it’s decent, nowadays electronics, you really expect to last longer than 5 years? That includes TV, fridge etc.

2) On Samsung OneUI and Oppo, i dont know, not much (also I’m using like secondary phone with iOS as main), biggest is the Samsung ecosystem, of course it’s not as lock in compare to Apple. Samsung has the customization and tweaking app, but not useful for everyone.

Samsung pay is better than Google pay option on Oppo. Oppo advantage got some software to do “AirDrop” and MacOS integration. (Gimmicky).

Samsung AI slightly better than what Oppo offering. Other than that, it’s Android!!

Oppo rollout of colorOS is definitely faster. (Maybe smaller phone portfolio). Samsung is slow, z fold 5 is only beta phase for latest Android.

3) Oppo warranty is cheaper. Rm199 for extended warranty. Rm199 for screen damage protection.
On paper, i dont have prior experience, but at least way cheaper than Samsung first.

I haven't used a Samsung in about 2 years, but my last impression after switching away from my Samsung S23 was that Google Pay is much better than Samsung Pay. I found it easier to register the card and much faster recognition when tapping the phone on the CC terminal when using Google Pay. Samsung Pay I had to hold the phone to the terminal for a few seconds. Unless if they drastically improved it since that time.
*
Maybe personal preference. Also, Samsung pay allows me to register and use as secondary device. Google pay forces authentication with bank app on same device. So im definitely a little more bias. Hehe

Tested mine. It's working both wifi calling and sms with airplane mode on. Im using digi. Does unifi support wifi calling?

Security and OS Updates I don’t really trust the five to seven years of updates because Android brands don’t have full control over the software. If you’ve used Android long enough, you know updates can sometimes slow down the phone, cause bugs, or even break certain features, especially with custom skins on top of Android. It’s a big promise, but the reality is, they can’t predict how the software will perform in the future.

Apple Ecosystem People choose Apple not because of being locked in, but because everything connects so smoothly. iCloud makes it easy to share and sync between devices without hassle.

Extended Warranty Any extended warranty is still better than having no warranty at all.

AI Today Honestly, all AI still sucks. Even Samsung’s AI or Apple intelligence are more for marketing than real use. ChatGPT is way more useful in actual daily tasks.
*
Well said. So far all these android guarantees are best effort. But I said also 5 years is a good life span expectation for a phone.

Ya, listed AI just for comparison. Other than that, coloros is comparable. I somewhat believe oppo learnt a lot from one plus ventures.

Want to confirm with others. I bought the extended warranty and the screen protection plan. But only the extended warranty is showing. Whoever bought the screen protection plan, is it the same?

Got my extended warranty and screen protection. So same as yours.

I just went to another UR shop different from the 1st one. This one give me RM 2050 for my Fold 5 but they don't have ready stock of N5, need to wait half a day for their main shop to send over. Thinking to go Senq & ask the value of my Fold 5, or maybe just sell off to pawn shops easier
*
Your price pretty decent. As I said my middle frame got a few dings so price dropped rm1.8k rm1.9k for me.

Hey folks, I am deep in the Apple ecosystem and looking to try the N5. Anyone who previously in the same situation - what are your thoughts after switching?
*
If u deep into Apple, even Samsung ecosystem can't compare, quite difficult for n5.

Maybe like me, have the best of both worlds.

Been using the free case however, dropped mine yesterday haha..the front is not covered. But lucky nothing happened.

Haven't drop yet. I bought extra warranty and screen protection. What the heck.

I saw nillkin has one front and back case, looks decent.

I did buy the lens protector. Notice some scratches on the magnetic cover case camera rim.
