New Patent Filings Suggest Oppo Is Working On Phones That Fold In Multiple Ways

It seems almost too long ago when rumors of the first ever folding phone starting cropping up. While I usually discount the Royole FlexPai from my recollections of folding phones, and the first Galaxy Fold was a debacle in itself, it’s true that folding phones have made companies think of new, sometimes outrageous designs for future smartphones.

As crazy as these designs are, it’s important to note that patent filings don’t mean that Oppo is actually working on all or even one of these designs. That said, as foldable phones become more commonplace, companies are bound to experiment with what the new form factor can bring to the table.
