Oppo's first foldable phone tipped to launch next month

Oppo may become the next smartphone brand to have its own foldable phone soon.

Oppo may be the next smartphone brand to have its own foldable phone. A new rumour from China has suggested that Oppo’s first foldable may arrive in November. This is contrary to previous rumours that said that the foldable device from Oppo may get an early 2022 release. Oppo has not announced a launch event yet, but if this rumour is true, an announcement may be headed our way.

The tipster shared the information on Weibo, which is China’s equivalent to Facebook, and it tells more than just the launch date. He said the Oppo foldable phone, which surprisingly does not have a name yet, will have an 8-inch foldable internal display. It will use the LTPO AMOLED panel and have a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. LTPO is Samsung’s patented technology for display, which means the South Korean company’s Samsung Display arm will provide Oppo with the displays.
