Title: OPPO patents a clamshell foldable phone with the screen on the outside
Post by: Redaktion on August 31, 2020, 21:17:58
Samsung has captivated some tech enthusiasts with its Galaxy Z Flip neo-clamshell phone, the second of its kind to be foldable. Now, a different mobile device company, OPPO, has designed one much like it, but in reverse. Its screen is on the outside, with a sensor that detects the angle at which it is unfolded.

There's not enough battery for this kind of design, from the render it doesn't seem to be able to fit north of 2800mAh. It's just a figure, granted, which is why making a render accurate to the figure would be meaningless.
Think Z Flip, which looks twice as thick as this, and then a "chin" twice as thick as one of the sides...that thickness would comfortably fit a 1" sensor with a f/1.4 prime though, a retractable zoom may even be possible.
