The foldable phones are coming in, and it seems that Chinese phone maker Oppo is the last to join the fray. During a visit to the company's headquarters, Mr. Oppo told several news sites that he would have more to share on this subject at Mobile World Congress in February.
according to AndroidWorld.nlThe product manager, Chuck Wang, said, "We know that Samsung and Sony are working on a foldable phone. You can also expect more news from Oppo on this topic, perhaps at the MWC. "
What Wang exactly means is unclear, but we know that Oppo is interested in foldable phones. The company has patented a number of foldable models in recent years, including a device that folds outward twice to triple the size. A news site, Tweakers, interpreted by Wang as meaning that Oppo will have a collapsible device to show at the MWC, but it is unclear if this is the case. We have contacted Oppo for more details and will update this story if we hear more.
If the company is preparing a foldable device, it will join a number of manufacturers for what could be the next big thing in mobile. Samsung has already introduced its first foldable display with what it calls an Infinity Flex display (expected to go on sale in March 2019 at an incredible price); Huawei has already launched its own foldable phone. and both Lenovo and Xiaomi teased prototypes. Importantly, Google has also given its blessing to this upcoming wave, with the official support of Android for their changing display.
It remains to be seen whether foldable phones will or will not prove to be a legitimate trend. But for businesses looking for attention in the competitive mobile phone industry, the opportunity to jump on the train is too good to pass.
Correction, November 29 at 07:00 ET: A previous version of this story cited news site Tweakers Oppo to unveil foldable phone at CMM. It seems that the site took a quote out of context.
