Foldable phones are yet to become a thing but the few that have been unveiled have received rave reviews, despite the challenges that plagued the Galaxy Fold. We may likely be seeing a few more foldable models soon.
An OPPO patent for its own foldable phone filed in October 2018 with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) has been published recently. The listing also gave us an idea of what the company might come out with for its own foldable model.
The most spectacular feature on the design is definitely the pop-up camera which made it possible for the device to have an immersive full-screen design with trimmed down bezels. With the pop-up design, it is likely possible that the camera is used in the folded and unfolded formats. The display folds outwards with the hinge of the phone providing rigid support. The renders also show the device has a 3.5mm audio jack. The company may not be launching a foldable phone anytime soon.
