A new OPPO phone with the model number “PEUM00” has been certified by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and a well-known tipster has stated that the device is none other than the company’s first-ever foldable.
According to previous reports, OPPO was set to launch a foldable smartphone this very month. While that is still unconfirmed, it is pretty clear with this certification that if the device is indeed a foldable, its launch is now closer than ever. The tip comes from tech blogger @WHYLAB.
OPPO had actually previously shown off a foldable smartphone concept, and various patents have pointed towards the company working towards the mass-production of such a phone for years.
The Chinese brand’s first foldable phone is touted to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or Snapdragon 888+ flagship processor (via My Drivers). While the chip is soon set to be superseded by the Snapdragon Gen 1, it is still one of the most powerful mobile chips around.
The phone is also expected to be called the OPPO Find N and will be adopting an inwards-folding screen. This display is reportedly of an excellent quality and has a 2K resolution paired with 120Hz refresh rate. LTPO screen technology may also be adopted, allowing a dynamic refresh rate from just 1Hz all the way to 120Hz, which will allow it to be highly battery-efficient.
Last but not least, the OPPO foldable smartphone may be featuring the company’s first-ever self-developed image chip. The chip will be using a custom 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor and will be capable of capturing some really stunning images.
