Quick Summary<\/h5>\n

Oppo could be preparing to launch a wide format folding phone to rival the iPhone Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8.<\/p>\n

It’s thought that the new device will launch with the latest Qualcomm hardware set to be announced in September 2026.<\/p>\n

Oppo could be developing a wider format folding phone to compete with the iPhone Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 8. The device \u2013 which might be called the Oppo Find N7 \u2013 could offer a creaseless display and be packed with power.<\/p>\n

Samsung is expected announce its wider folding phone in July, before Apple makes its entry to the market with the iPhone Ultra in September. Oppo could follow a little later, with the new folding model said to use the as yet unannounced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.<\/p>\n

With that hardware not expected until September at the earliest, Oppo’s new device might not get announced until Q1 2027.<\/p>\n

So far only Huawei has a wide folding phone, but that’s set to change with a flurry of devices expected over the coming months.<\/p>\n
