Oppo wasn’t on anyone’s radar when it came to foldable phones. Both Xiaomi and Oppo mentioned that they are going to release their foldable phones next year, but we had no other details about them.
According to the latest development, Oppo is going to reveal its first foldable smartphone at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019.
