OPPO has lined up two foldable smartphones powered by the top-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. It is reported that the Chinese tech brand is planning to launch the two foldable flagships this fall. OPPO entered the foldable turf in December 2021 with the launch of the Find N. The two new foldable phones are rumored to be the Find N Fold and the Find N Flip.
Tipster Yogesh Brar says the two flagships will debut in the global market this fall and will compete with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, respectively. The Find N Fold will be a tablet-like device while the Find N Flip has a clamshell design. Both models have gotten several certifications pending their eventual launch. The devices have also been registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). There are still lots of details lacking for the devices but we expect these to trickle in going forward.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is currently in a class of its own. It remains the chipset of choice for flagship devices and packs lots of power and efficiency into it. Qualcomm is riding on the crest of the increased demand for the top-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and recently inked a partnership deal with Manchester United.
OPPO expects both the Find N Fold and Find N Flip to have a tumultuous reception similar to the Find N which sold out within minutes of its release. No pricing details are available for the two devices but we also expect some competitive pricing as OPPO challenges the dominance of the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip lineup.
