Oppo, one of the famous Chinese manufacturing companies, might launch a very interesting rollable smartphone in the future. According to a few reports, Oppo is preparing to bring a slider phone with a rollable display soon into the market. The popular designer and American filmmaker, Tom Ford, is the reported design developer behind this concept phone. This is said because of the back images found in one of the documents. We can easily spot ‘Oppo X Tom Ford’ written below the cameras. Though, the company has not made any official statement about the collaboration with the US designer.
It can also be seen that it has a leather back cover, with woven fabric and a wood-like exterior. The smartphone has a vertical stretching body. The screen display can be rolled inside the case. This helps in decreasing the size to almost half. It features a triple rear camera which is placed horizontally on the backside. The front-camera cannot be seen in the photos which might indicate a presence of under-display selfie camera.Â
Oppo, as a brand, is very famous but it still has a lower market share than its competitors like Xiaomi. It is obvious that technological advancements will give smartphone OEMs a headstart to compete in the future market. A few days back, we reported how Oppo is planning to bring an exciting slide phone into the market. This Oppo X 2021 can be folded three times into 1.5-inch, 3.15-inch, and 7-inch display screens. That model was developed in collaboration with Japanese design studio Nendo. Foldable smartphones are the future. Thus, it can be seen that Oppo is prepared to invest in the future and looking at the options to lure customers. We should also take into account that this is still coming as a concept phone and the real handset might look completely different from this.
