Original story follows…
Not too long ago, OPPO unveiled its first-ever foldable smartphone, dubbed the OPPO Find N. The brand does not appear to be stopping at that, as 91mobiles has exclusively learned from tipster Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) that OPPO is gearing up for the launch of its first-ever clamshell foldable smartphone. The flip phone from OPPO will be aimed at providing users with a value-for-money foldable smartphone experience. Take a look at the launch timeline and potential price point for the upcoming clamshell foldable by OPPO and find out what the device might have in store for us.
As per Sharma, OPPO has started working on its first-ever flip foldable smartphone, and the device is likely to hit commercial shelves sometime in Q3 2022, i.e, by the end of September. Furthermore, the device will be priced lower than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. The name of the device has not been finalised yet, but it will surely be launched under the OPPO Find series.
Not just the flip foldable, we have learned that OPPO is also working on yet another foldable smartphone, which could likely turn out to be a successor to the existing OPPO Find N. Though the launch timeline for the same is uncertain for now, we can expect the same to launch early next year.
If OPPO manages to deliver its first clamshell foldable at a price lower than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series while maintaining strong hardware and design quality, it could significantly broaden the appeal of foldable phones in markets like India. With competition in the foldable segment heating up, OPPO’s entry into the flip category could mark a turning point, bringing more choice and potentially more aggressive pricing to consumers eager to try the form factor.
As of now, this is all the information that we have on the upcoming flip foldable smartphone by OPPO, but we are sure to receive more intel on the same in the coming days. Whenever we do, we will make sure to keep you posted on the same.
