Oppo rumoured to launch new foldable and flip smartphones by the end of 2022 | Digit

Like many other smartphone makers, Oppo also seems to be serious about the fold and flip smartphone trend. The brand is expected to launch two folding phone variants. The good part is, unlike some brands, Oppo’s foldable and flip handsets are likely to be available for consumers globally. The report comes from tipster Yogesh Brar (via Pricebaba), who also suggests the smartphones will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. The tipster says that Oppo will compete with Samsung by launching almost similar kinds of fold and flip devices. It already has the Oppo Find N in select markets. Let’s see how close or different the Find N Flip will be from the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Oppo has already enrolled with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) indicating a global release of the devices. The brand showed the need of advancement in the present foldables through their social media posts. These posts were by Pete Lau, OPPO’s Chief Product Officer. He gave a major hint through a picture of a hinge which is probably a part of Oppo’s foldable series.

Specifications, features, design and price for the Oppo’s folding and flipping phones are yet to be revealed. Sources suggest more information will start to surface in a few days. 

This is the Find N’s hinge system We spent years ensuring we got the details right (like the virtually crease-free display) to meet our users’ needs.
