Oppo has announced its first foldable smartphone, the Oppo Find N. More details of the device will be announced next week at its annual innovation day. Oppo also plans to unveil its own Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and a set of smart glasses at the event 14-15 December.
The company said the flagship smartphone is the "result of four years of intense R&D and six generations of prototypes". Billed as "Oppo’s answer to the future of smartphones", the device was announced by OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau, who recently returned to Oppo as chief product officer.
No further details on the phone's specifications were provided. Oppo said the Find N "solved the main pain points in previous foldable smartphones, such as the crease in the display and overall durability of the device, by inventing perhaps the best hinge and display designs available today". More details will be provided on 15 December.
