Oppo “Slide Phone”: concept shows a glimpse into the future
Manufacturer Oppo is on track, because a few weeks ago the company also showed a concept of a smartphone. Now that is the case again and Oppo calls it the ‘Slide Phone’. It is a device with a screen that can be folded in two places. Because of this possibility, the smartphone can be used in several ways.
When fully folded, the device is so small that it fits easily in your palm. If you open the first part, a 1.5 inch screen will unfold. That is small, but according to the manufacturer enough to record conversations, operate music or, for example, check notifications.
The second section has a larger diagonal of 3.15 inches. According to Oppo, that is enough to take pictures or play some games. If you fold out both parts, you use a 7-inch display. Its exact ratio is unknown. The concept smartphone is very narrow, which is not always practical. That is very useful for multitasking, where you can use multiple apps side by side.
Slide Phone: stylus, three cameras and availability
The screen can also be operated with a stylus, which can be put in the housing of the device. There are also three cameras on board, along with an LED flash. Since it is a concept, in which the design is central, nothing has been disclosed about any specifications.
A device like this is still a vision of the future. According to rumors, the manufacturer will come ‘soon’ with a smartphone where the screen can be unfolded or rolled out. With that, it competes with Samsung and Huawei, among others,
Those manufacturers have already actually released devices with foldable displays. According to rumors, Samsung would like to focus even more on such smartphones next year. In 2021, the company would like to release five foldable devices.
