While phone makers are exploring foldable phones and new form factors, Oppo is now gearing up to show off the next leap in smartphone design. At its much-awaited INNO Day 2020 conference, which kicks off tomorrow (November 17), Oppo will show off a concept smartphone with a retractable display. The company is teasing this device on Chinese micro-blogging platform, Weibo.
You have two flat edges and two curved edges onboard, with one of the curved edges featuring the retractable mechanism. It will allow you to stretch the display and turn the square device into a full-blown tall phone or tablet experience. We also do not see a punch-hole selfie camera cutout, so Oppo may bake its under-display camera technology as well. It has been in development for quite some time and the company has already shown it off at the previous INNO Day last year.
