OPPO PATENT REVEALS A CLAMSHELL FOLDABLE SMARTPHONE

Marco LancasterMARCO LANCASTERAUGUST 31, 2020

The market of foldable smartphones is finally becoming a reality in 2020, now that it is slowly leaving the “niche” segment. However, the offer still is very small and Samsung easily overcomes every other company in the segment with its Galaxy Fold and Z Flip series. While the Korean firm has the foldable smartphone market under his belt, we’re sure that other companies are studying the best way and the best design to debut in this segment. Oppo is among the Chinese gang of brands that want to take a slice of this growing trend.

One year ago, Oppo took the wraps off a prototype foldable smartphone at the MWC. However, the time has passed and nothing came of it. Since then, we have been seeing a plethora of patents showing several design languages the company is experimenting with. Today, a new patent emerged from LetsGoDigital and reveals a clamshell-like smartphone. It actually looks like an inverted Moto RAZR but features a rather unique angle detection mode.
