Oppo launched its first foldable smartphone, Find N, in December, but of course the company is already working on other devices on the way to become part of its foldable portfolio. And the next is rumored to be a clamshell “flip phone” style vertical folding, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 or the Huawei P50 Pocket.

Unlike those, however, the Oppo is said to be more affordable, and this makes sense since the Find N was also cheaper than its competitors when it launched in the Chinese market. According to a rumor from China, the Oppo “flip” will cost around CNY 5,000, and that currently translates to around $ 756 or € 718. To put it in context, the P50 Pocket starts at CNY 8,988 in China ($ 1,360 or € 1,292). , while the Galaxy Z Flip3 can be purchased for CNY 7,399 ($ ​​1,119 or € 1,063).

We’re happy that Oppo seems willing to play the price card when it comes to foldables, but it’s also pretty weird to see, since its pricing strategy for the rest of its devices has always been the exact opposite. Either way, Oppo’s “flip phone” is expected to sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC, which means it can launch soon this summer. We will keep you updated.
