Last year, OPPO unveiled its first foldable device at the OPPO INNO Day. That device features the standard inward-fold with a relatively affordable price. But that's probably not the last one that the company has to show, with sources claiming two more foldable devices to come in 2022.

According to 91Mobiles, OPPO is getting ready to launch a clamshell foldable smartphone. Like the OPPO Find N, this flip phone aims to deliver value-for-money. Specifically, the phone is expected to be cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. Also, it could be commercially available by September 2022. This means that OPPO could launch it in August 2022, so production should start by Q2 2022. 

Besides the clamshell foldable, OPPO is allegedly working on another foldable device. This one could be the successor for the OPPO Find N, so it could be called the OPPO Find N2. There's no estimated launch date yet, but it could be released by December 2022 like its predecessor. It should also come with a next-gen chipset, possibly the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (or however Qualcomm plans to name it).

The tablet-sized foldable seems to be the most popular design these days. But would the clamshell design be more to your preference? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned TechNave for more news about this.
