After Xiaomi, another Chinese smartphone manufacturer is also expected to launch its foldable smartphone this year. According to the latest source, OPPO is going to be launching a 7-inch clamshell folding phone in 2021. Let's read on to find out the other features that OPPO's folding device might be going to have!

Besides having a 7-inch display and clamshell design, the device is also said to use an LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) panel. It is worth mentioning that the LTPO panel is still an OLED panel but it is more power-efficient. The source also mentions that the device is likely to be taller and wider than the Galaxy Z Flip and the Moto Razr devices to make room for around 3,500-4,000 mAh battery.

Furthermore, OPPO's first folding device is also suggested to bring a 2-inch secondary screen on the outer panel for notifications and possibly some other camera features. At the moment, the launch date of the device is still unknown, but it could be near as we're almost halfway through the year.
