A new tip from China suggests that October will be a busy month for smartphone launches, with several new devices expected, including a couple of foldable.

Oppo is rumored to be announcing its new foldable smartphone, the Find N3, next month. This device is said to be equipped with a dual-layer transistor CMOS sensor, which could significantly improve image quality.

Honor is also expected to announce its next foldable phone in October, alongside a new smartwatch and a new device in the Play series. Huawei is also rumored to be announcing the Nova 11 SE series next month.

Recently, we discovered that the Nova 11 SE has already been listed on TENNA revealing that it has a flat back panel with a dual-circle camera module and a triple-camera setup. You can learn more about the TENNA’s findings here.

The Oppo Find N3 is expected to be the most interesting device of the bunch, thanks to its new camera sensor. Oppo has partnered with Sony’s Lytia imaging sensor brand to bring dual-layer stacked Sony sensors to future Oppo flagships. The new sensors are expected to “unlock the next era of computational photography.”

This sensor uses a two-layer design to separate the transistors and photodiode layers. This allows for larger photodiodes, which can capture more light and reduce noise, even in challenging lighting conditions. However, this technology is not entirely new. Sony used the ExmorT IMX 888 stacked CMOS sensor with 2-layer transistor pixel technology in the Xperia 1 V earlier this year.

In addition to its new camera sensor, the Oppo Find N3 is also expected to have a 7.82-inch internal screen with a resolution of 2268×2440 pixels and a 6.31-inch external screen with a resolution of 2484×1116 pixels.
