- The Oppo X 2021 is a new concept phone using a flexible OLED display that allows users to make the screen larger as needed
- Oppo also unveiled the AR Glass 2021, a new pair of augmented reality glasses, at its Oppo Inno Day event that focuses on futuristic tech
Chinese smartphone brand Oppo has announced a new concept phone with a rollable screen on Tuesday. The Oppo X 2021 was part of the company’s Oppo Inno Day event, which used the theme “Leap into the Future” to showcase experimental products.
Oppo said its new handset features three proprietary technologies: the Roll Motor powertrain, 2-in-1 Plate and the Warp Track high-strength screen laminate. The technologies combine to create an OLED display that widens from 6.7 inches to become as large as 7.4 inches. This allows users to adjust the size of the screen as needed, the company said at the two-day event.
Oppo also introduced two augmented reality products. Oppo AR Glass 2021 is a pair of AR glasses that the company says are 75 per cent lighter than the previous generation. Oppo also unveiled CybeReal AR, which is software that helps with real-time special calculation.
“Oppo uses technology to empower people to capture the beauty around them and to unleash their imagination of the future, thereby helping everyone get the best out of life,” said Oppo founder and CEO Tony Chen. He added that the company is committed to innovation and laid out a technology development strategy for leveraging the company’s strengths in the future.
