Overview
- Several outlets cited a Weibo leak from tipster Digital Chat Station on Friday, October 9, 2026 that says Oppo is developing a wide-format flagship with a 16:9 display.
- The tipster gives specific measurements that place the panel near 6.5 inches with an 81mm screen width and an overall body width of about 85mm.
- Rumored hardware details include ultra-thin, symmetrical bezels of roughly 1mm and a bezel approach called “LIPO,” though that claim is only reported by some outlets.
- If true, a 16:9 screen would reduce the black bars seen when watching most YouTube videos and could improve some landscape gaming by matching common video aspect ratios.
- The report is unverified and Oppo has made no announcement, but the leak follows a small trend of wider non-folding phones such as Huawei’s Pura X View and could prompt other makers to try wider slab designs.
