After years of work and several canceled prototypes, Oppo is finally launching its first foldable phone. The unfortunately-named Oppo Find N<\/a> arrives December 15th for an unknown price, and although the phone isn\u2019t guaranteed to be a success, it hints at the future of both Oppo and its famous sub-brand, OnePlus.<\/p>\n

Oppo chief product officer (and OnePlus CEO) Pete Lau announced the Find N in a flowery blog post<\/a> early on December 9th. He makes some bold claims about the phone\u2014its screen won\u2019t have a big distracting crease, its hinge will be the \u201cbest\u201d available today, and it won\u2019t break on a dime like Samsung\u2019s foldables.<\/p>\n

While these statements feel a bit overblown (we\u2019ll find out on December 15th), they show how Oppo understands the foldable phone business and its pitfalls. Notably, it seems that Oppo is competing<\/em> with Samsung on display<\/em> tech. Most manufacturers just order their foldable screens from Samsung, a process that leads to clone products, not unique products. (To be clear, Oppo hasn\u2019t revealed its display supplier.)<\/p>\n

So what does this tell us about the future of Oppo or OnePlus? Well, these companies may become innovative leaders in the smartphone world, much like App<\/a>le and Samsung. Working on a single product for six years takes a lot of resources, and if Pete Lau\u2019s claims are true, the Find N will leapfrog Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 3 with improved durability and display tech.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Find N may not live up to Pete Lau\u2019s promises. We\u2019ve only seen the phone in a short promotional video (shown above), so we don\u2019t really know if its display has a crease or not. If we want to see the future of Oppo and OnePlus, we\u2019ll simply need to wait for the Find N launch event on December 15th.<\/p>\n
