At the recently held OPPO INNO Day event 2020, the company presented its vision of a smartphone with a flexible screen. To be precise – it is a rolled screen that expands to form a device with a 6.7-inch display with a 7.4-inch working surface. This vision looks encouraging and can be a revolution much more useful than “typical folds” like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2. With OPPO X 2021, because that’s the name of the smartphone, there is one problem, however. It turns out that the smartphone may end its life in the concept phase, as announced by the manufacturer himself. So what was the real point of creating the X model 2021? Let me tell you, it’s not about “flexing your muscles”.

OPPO X 2021 is presented on INNO Day 2021 smartphone distinguished by a folding screen. If you were going to buy it, we have bad news.

A collapsible, rolled or simply flexible screen – no matter what we call the display used in the innovative OPPO X smartphone 2021, it must be admitted that it makes a great impression. In principle, the same could be said of the first smart phone with a folding screen. This technology is a bit commonplace and today we can find several such proposals on the market. It could be similar with the vision presented by OPPO in the X model 2021. Unfortunately, the manufacturer stated that there is no plan to commercialize the solution in the short term. What does this mean for us customers?

The smartphone is to be used as a model, guide, even inspiration to create new projects, this time having a chance to appear on store shelves. To sum up, despite the “2021 in the name, we should not expect the OPPO X market launch next year 2021. Only market research and cool business calculations will allow you to make a decision about the future of this type of innovation. I would not like to foretell OPPO, but I bet that if it does not commercialize its idea in the near future, it will lose its freshness and attractiveness. We can therefore wait for the situation to develop.
