OPPO X 2021 hands-on shows rollable phones may be closer than we thought
The OPPO X 2021 has reached the hands on reviewers as demo units, indicating that the rollable smartphone might be close to mass production!
There is little doubt that 2021 is going to continue the foldable trend started by Samsung and Huawei in 2019 — the latter, in fact, is scheduled to unveil the Huawei Mate X2 this month. But perhaps the more exciting form factor that's coming in 2021 will be rollables, which bring the same benefits of a foldable — more screen in a pocketable package — but don't seem to suffer from issues plaguing foldables like the crease that's left from the folding point. LG has already confirmed it's got a rollable phone set for commercial release this year. OPPO followed soon enough with the OPPO X 2021 concept smartphone, and it looks like it's closer to being ready than initially thought.
This is the OPPO X 2021, a concept smartphone with a rollable display
OPPO just unveiled the world's first rollable smartphone — the OPPO X 2021 — which features a continuously variable rollable OLED display.
Towards the end of last month, we learned that LG was working on a unique smartphone with a rollable display as part of its Explorer Project. The device, codenamed Project B, was teased during the LG Wing launch, and it's expected to hit the market in March next year. While Project B is still in the works, OPPO has beaten LG to the punch with the new OPPO X 2021 concept smartphone, showcased at the recent INNO Day 2020 event, alongside the OPPO AR Glass 2021 & OPPO CybeReal.
