At the end of 2020, the sliding Oppo Find X was shown; which can be called a roll or scroll smartphone. It was a concept and it was initially clear that it was not intended for commercial implementation. It became a demo version and a “see what we can” demonstration. At the end of last year, it came to the release of the commercial version of the Oppo Find N foldable smartphone.

At the time of the announcement, the company stated that it took them almost five years to create it. As a result, a kind of “fold-like” device was born, but more compact and squat. Reviews for the Oppo Find N are quite positive and it was the device that grabbed the attention and made the company stand out. This is not the end of the company’s experiments with foldable smartphones.
