Oppo patents three phones that have extra display on back

Oppo may use the rear displays on the phones that it has patented for notifications, selfies, and Always-On Display, but there may be more use-cases.

Oppo is all about new breakthroughs in consumer technology. It recently showed off a retractable camera, which is the first such technology in the world. But many of Oppo’s technologies are not the first of their kind but rather emulations. One such emulation may be Oppo’s concept devices with rear displays. Oppo has patented at least three devices and all of them have a rear display in different designs.

The images procured by LetsGoDigital show the three Oppo phones that have the rear display in common. Although they come in different sizes and shapes. For instance, while one phone has a circular rear display inside a round camera bump, the other one has a rectangular display with cameras fixed above it. The third one has a rectangular display inside a round camera bump.
