When talking about rivals, he said that OPPO had been investing in the field of foldable handset for much longer than Samsung. But due to the high brand recognition rate of the latter, it could become an absolute leader.
It turns out OPPO has been working on folding screen smartphones for five years. There were up to six prototypes. But at the end, they choose one.
At the moment, the first-tier manufacturers offer two types of foldables – flip and horizontally folding handsets. In its turn, the latter offers outward and inward schemes. So when OPPO was thinking about entrance this niche, there were two options. As a result, it chose the OPPO Find N2 Flip, and we have to say that was a wise decision.
Mr. Zhang said that there is a serious reason behind this decision. OPPO thinks clamshell handsets offer a more close-to-home experience. In other words, these phones are more similar to our regular slab-shaped phones. on the contrary, traditional foldables are more tablet-like. All these explanations make us think that the future OPPO foldables launched globally will be the OPPO Find N2 Flip follow-up models.
