While Huawei recently unveiled the Huawei Pura X Max with a wide foldable design, many brands are expected to launch foldable phones with a similar form factor in the coming years. Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide in July, while Apple’s foldable iPhone, which could be called the iPhone Ultra, is likely to break cover in September. Now, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, Oppo is currently testing a new book-style wide foldable phone, and he has also shared some of its key details, including its launch timeframe.

Oppo Find N7’s wide foldable version in the works

As can be seen above, DCS has now revealed details about Oppo’s own wide foldable phone, although its final moniker remains unknown. While the name is still under wraps, it remains to be seen whether it could be called the Oppo Find N7 or something else.

The tipster claims that the engineering prototype is equipped with a foldable inner display measuring around 7.6 inches and a cover screen of roughly 5.5 inches. Both Samsung Display (SDC) and BOE are reportedly involved in supplying the panels. The device is also said to feature Qualcomm’s next-generation 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset and is currently in the prototype testing stage.

The foldable is further said to adopt a design approach similar to Apple’s products and will feature Oppo’s latest-generation crease-minimizing hinge technology. DCS also hinted that the new hinge could outperform competing foldable solutions currently available on the market.

The tipster revealed in the comments section that the Find N7 is expected to debut in the first quarter of 2027. Apart from Oppo, Honor, Xiaomi, and Vivo are also expected to introduce wide foldable phones next year.

The post Oppo Find N7’s wide foldable version tipped to launch in Q1 2027, key specifications emerge appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo appears to be lining up multiple foldable smartphones for this year. While the Find N6 is expected to debut this month in China, a new report from SmartPrix suggests that the company is also working on the Oppo Find N7. Early information indicates that this second foldable could take a different design approach and may be timed to take on Apple’s first foldable phone.

Oppo Find N7 design and key details

According to the report, Oppo plans to position the Find N7 as a direct rival to Apple’s upcoming foldable, which is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max later this year. Unlike the Find N6, which is said to follow a conventional book-style foldable design, the Find N7 is tipped to feature a wider form factor.

When folded, the device is expected to resemble a passport, while unfolding into a tablet-like display with a landscape orientation, offering a broader viewing area than traditional horizontal foldables.

The Find N7 is also expected to borrow several core specifications from the Find N6. Reports suggest it could share the same camera hardware and battery setup, including a 200-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. Powering the device could be a 6,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

As far as the Find N6 is concerned, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered device is tipped to feature an 8.12-inch internal foldable display and a 6.62-inch cover screen, with 20-megapixel cameras on both displays for selfies and video calls. It is expected to weigh around 225 grams and launch in Titanium, Deep Black, and Golden Orange colour options in China.

Oppo Find N7 launch timeframe (rumored)

The Find N7 is expected to launch a few months after the Find N6, with September being tipped as a likely window. Oppo has not officially confirmed the device yet, and more details are expected to surface closer to its launch.

In related news, Samsung is also said to be working on a wider foldable, tentatively called the Galaxy Wide Fold, which could debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 in July. This Wide Fold is also expected to have a design similar to the iPhone Fold.
