Oppo is reported to have two lineups of foldable phones that will be released in the next few months. According to information leaker on Chinese social media, Weibo, it is stated that the device has the code Peacock and Butterfly.
Both Oppo folding screen phones have premium specifications and are equipped with excellent features. That's why the leaker said the price was quite expensive, although he didn't reveal how much.
According to another undisclosed source, the Peacock-coded phone will debut next month. It is said that the launch date is unknown but it is expected to be in mid-December 2021 along with the release of the Reno7.
It is stated that the phone is powered by Snapdragon 888. Of course this will be a competitor to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 which uses the same chipset.
Speaking of Oppo 'Butterfly', the specifications that will be brought are more intense. This device uses Qualcomm's latest chipset, the Snapdragon 898 which will be introduced in December.
That's why this folding screen phone will only launch in early 2021. Talking about the appearance, the Oppo foldable phone will adopt the design of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Huawei Mate X3.
It is likely to adopt a 7.8-inch to 8-inch LTPO screen when the inside is not folded. It is said that the phone is equipped with a main camera with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor with a 32 MP selfie camera.
The battery capacity is 4,500 mAh with 65W fast charging. The device will run ColorOS 12 based on Android 12.
To note, this is not the first time news of the appearance of an Oppo folding screen phone has appeared. Initially the presence of the device appeared since 2016, but at the MWC 2019 event, a prototype appeared.
It seems that now Oppo is ready to commercialize its folding screen phone. However, there is no information whether the folding screen phone will be released globally, or only for the Chinese market. We will wait for futher news.
