This is a smartphone with a scroll screen and “air” charging

The future of smartphones is not only models with a folding display, but also a scrollable. Several large manufacturers are playing with this idea. Chinese Oppo has shown what such a smartphone can look like. And with it, it also showed wireless air charging.

A similar charging technology was recently introduced by Xiaomi and Motorola. However, it is still the music of the future. Simultaneous wireless charging of the Qi standard works so that you do not have to connect a cable to the smartphone, but it is necessary to place it on the charging pad. In the case of this technology, this is also true, but not quite.

Oppo technology still counts on the smartphone to be close to the charging pad. At a distance of 10 cm from it, it can charge with a power of 7.5 W, said the Talkandroid portal. It would be unfair to compare it to charging from Xiaomi.

Oppo X 2021 will come this year

The Oppo X 2021 smartphone with a scrollable display will be officially introduced this year. The manufacturer claims that with the advent of folding models came many unresolved problems related to the bending mechanism. And the answer to this could be screens that can slide out.

In the case of the Oppo X 2021, the display with the original diagonal of 6.7 ″ expands to a diagonal of 7.4 ″. This may not sound like a big difference, but the aspect ratio will also change. As a result, the user gets about a quarter more of the display area. And that is no longer negligible.
