OPPO‘s been having a very busy day, but they’re not done announcing things yet. At Future Technology Conference 2019, Liu Chang, vice president of OPPO and dean of the research institute, said in an interview that the Oppo folding phone is in development, which we already knew. The more interesting information is in regards to the OS.
The OPPO folding phone will have an adaptable OS, which means that the OS will seamlessly transition from mode to mode according to what the user does. We’ve seen this before with Samsung’s Galaxy Fold and the Huawei Mate X, and it’ll be interesting to see how OPPO’s implementation works.

Liu also states that he believes folding phones are the future of smartphones. OPPO’s folding screen products are currently undergoing intensive research and development to ensure that they’re well optimized. As of right now, folding screen technology is still full of problems and that will need to be fixed, as well as reservations towards it.
After launching the OPPO AR Glasses and announcing that they plan to diversify their product lineup, OPPO seems to be relentless with announcements. Now that the company is already capable of developing their own chips and has a working prototype device with an under display camera being shown off at the conference, the sky’s the limit to what they could announce next.
