Oppo foldable phone specifications have surfaced online ahead of the device’s official unveiling, and it could rival the Galaxy Z Fold3. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer’s foldable handset is likely to launch in the next few months. If rumors making the rounds on the internet prove to be true, the impending foldable phone could lock horns with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold3. As expected, the Oppo foldable phone has been subject to all sorts of speculations and multiple leaks.
Earlier this month, some leaked patent suggested that Oppo’s upcoming foldable device will come with an inwardly folding flexible display. Foldable phones usually sport an outward folding display. Aside from that, the patent showcased a hinge design that is similar to the Microsoft Surface Duo. This slightly wider hinge improves the foldability of the smartphone and minimizes the screen crease. Now, more details about the Oppo foldable phone’s specification have leaked.

Earlier this year, the rumor mill churned out speculations suggesting that Oppo and Google would be making their forays into the foldable segment in 2021. The search engine giant is reportedly gearing up to unveil its first foldable smartphone this month at the Pixel 6 series launch event. However, it is still unclear whether the device will go on sale this month. Aside from that, Google will be unveiling the Android 12.1 with some notable adjustments for the foldable smartphones.
