Oppo tri-fold concept showcased

While foldable smartphones have been around for over six years at this point, they are constantly evolving and tri-fold devices are expected to be the next big thing. We’ve seen several teasers from brands like Huawei and Tecno and now Oppo is taking its turn to showcase its upcoming tri-fold smartphone.

Zhou Yibao, the product manager for the Oppo Find series shared a render of the Oppo tri-fold device. We can see it features two hinge elements, a nearly bezel-less main screen and a faux leather back. The device appears to be running a modified version of Oppo’s ColorOS interface with large widgets and a taskbar. Unfortunately, we don’t get any more specifics regarding the hardware at this point.

Earlier this year, reports suggested that Oppo and vivo were backing out of the foldable smartphone market. Oppo later refuted that report and assured that it plans to continue developing new foldable devices.
