About

Mobile technology videos for the discerning gadget enthusiast, brought to you by Michael Fisher. My name is Michael Fisher. I’m a writer, sailor, podcaster and recovering actor whose childhood obsession with science fiction never quite faded. A quarter-century later, the technology that I coveted as a kid – from folding-screen phones to wearable tech – is woven into the fabric of everyday life. I’ve spent the past 15 years making videos that strive to uncover the truth of these products through detailed reviews. Welcome to MrMobile!

The Oppo Find N5 is the most technically impressive folding phone on the market: light in a pocket; low on the crease; and as thin as its USB port physically allows. By most objective metrics, it’s the best foldable there is. And yet it’s also a symbol of a product category whose prices remain stubbornly high, while its adoption stays fairly low. That’s led some folks (rightly) to ask if book-type foldables, as a category, are living on borrowed time. And while I sincerely hope that’s not true … we know from hard experience that being the best at something doesn’t always mean you win. The upshot is that this is an outstanding product … that nevertheless may not have a place in the modern world. I spent a month with the Oppo Find N5, to see how it stacks up to the other foldables in my arsenal … and I tested its cameras with a visit to another technological marvel that was ahead of its time. [ABOUT MRMOBILE'S OPPO FIND N5 REVIEW] MrMobile's Oppo Find N5 Review was produced following four weeks with a Find N5 review sample provided by Oppo. Tested on T-Mobile in NYC and Baltimore, MD running production software. The device received two software updates during the review period. MrMobile does not offer manufacturers the opportunity to preview, edit or approve content before publication. Neither Oppo nor any other manufacturer provided compensation in exchange for this coverage. The lone sponsor of this video is Surfshark.
