According to previous rumors, Oppo confirms to the editorial team that it will not stop developing foldable smartphones.

After South Korean newspaper Korea Economic Daily reported last week that Oppo would stop developing foldable smartphones, a flood of speculation surrounding the brand followed. ITdaily heard the rumor last week, but unlike other media outlets, editors decided not to write about it yet due to the source’s questionable reputation.

Curiously, it took Oppo five days to do this, but has now officially confirmed that they will not stop developing foldable smartphones.

“Oppo’s commitment to the continued development of foldable smartphone technology remains unchanged. Stay tuned for official updates and announcements.”

It seemed like a strange decision to us anyway after Oppo suddenly dropped out of the foldable smartphone race. The parent company BBK signed a 5G contract with Nokia for the OnePlus, Oppo and Vivo brands at the end of January.

Additionally, the OnePlus Open really captivated us last year. It is the best foldable smartphone currently available on the market. We wrote “Check it out” in our OnePlus Open review. The OnePlus Open is the international version of the Oppo Find N3, only sold in China. Both are identical, except that there is also a gold version in China.
