The report adds that the foldable device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset while the “Butterfly” smartphone launching early next year, which could be a Find X4 series device, will be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset.

Apart from the foldable smartphone, the Chinese company is also gearing up to launch next-generation OPPO Reno7 series smartphones. While the exact launch date is not yet confirmed, the OPPO foldable phone could go official in the middle of December 2021.

Recently, it was reported that the OPPO foldable smartphone will feature a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display. It is also said to come running the Android 12 operating system with the company’s own ColorOS 12 custom interface.

In the camera department, the device could feature a Sony IMX766 50-megapixel primary camera on the back. As of now, there’s no confirmation about the number of cameras that will be available on its back panel. For taking selfies and video calling, it may have a 32-megapixel snapper on the front side.

The phone is expected to feature an inward folding design like the Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Huawei Mate X2. It is said to be equipped with an 8-inch LTPO OLED panel that offers a 120W refresh rate. Earlier, it was reported to come powered by a 4,500mAh battery and have support for 65W fast charging technology.
