Presented under the direct collaboration and name of the famous fashion designer, the newly discovered OPPO X Tom Ford It presents itself as a smartphone with features and a design that go beyond the current concept of luxury with a terminal covered in textured vegan leather with golden details and engraved metal plates. Although all these details boil down to discovering that it is un smartphone roll-up innovant.
As we can see in the concept images shared by LetsGoDigital, we find a new format that will apparently slide in and out of a small square splash screen, which will be converted to normal smartphone format. Like the OPPO X 2021, this could have advantages over folding screens as it puts less strain on the fragile flexible panel.
However, there are still questions regarding this design, such as the location (or possible removal) of your front camera. And it is that if under normal circumstances one could think of a lens located behind the screen, this new format could not be compatible with this technology.
Although of course the biggest unknown remains if this phone will ever see light as a real product, because at the moment we only have the few details of his patent.
Roll-up smartphones: a future already in motion
However, as we had previously anticipated, this will not be Oppo’s first contact with the roll-up format. And is that the Chinese company has given us details about the Oppo X 2021, a 6.7-inch smartphone that you can extend your flexible OLED display up to 7.4 inch by means of a system that will wrap it around its internal casing and on a “deformation track” which in turn will provide structural support as the device expands.
Faced with the use of “book” or “shell” form factors, Oppo has opted for a different type of design. As we have already explained, imagine a smartphone with a standard form factor which, under certain circumstances, and automatically spreads widen, process in which a part of the screen that has been rolled to one side unfolds and activates in a smooth motion while adjusting the open app to the new size.
Equally interesting is the flexible concept of the Oppo X Eden, which uses a book-like design with a vertical fold similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Motorola Moto Razr phones. up to three hinges. In this way, it can be folded and unfolded in many different ways, which allows it to be used in many different ways and gives you, at the same time, a wide variety of formats.
