A known tipster on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website) has just revealed that Oppo is planning on launch two new unique smartphones later this year. These supposed handsets will include the clamshell design.
According to Digital Chat Station, the Chinese smartphone maker is planning on launching additional foldable models of smartphones following the release of its Find N. Apparently, the brand’s first foldable offering saw sales that were higher than what was initially expected. So now, it is planning on launching two new models as well. One of these would feature the clamshell design while the second model will be a higher end variant that will feature a display that is larger than the Find N.
For those unaware, the Find N was launched back in December 2022. Furthermore, this higher end model will reportedly launch with a price tag of around 10,000 Yuan (roughly 1,583 US Dollars), as per the tipster. In other words, it will be even more expensive than the Find N, which was relatively one of the most affordable phones in the foldable handset segment.
Notably, Digital Chat Station also stated that the display on this upcoming premium handset will be a rollable panel. Meaning, it might be similar in design to the OPPO X 2021 rollable phone concept, which was the world’s first smartphone with an extending display. It could extend its display for 6.7 inches to 7.4 inches thanks to its 6.8mm Roll Motor and flexible OLED panel design. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed news, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now. But it would be impressive if the company manages to launch this device since it would be the first mass produced commercial model of a rollable phone.
