OPPO Reportedly Building Wide Non‑Folding Phone

Tipster leaks describe a 16:9-style display and flagship-caliber imaging that could encourage more video-friendly slab designs from other makers.

Overview

  • Multiple industry tipsters have reported that OPPO is developing at least one non-folding phone with a wider, 16:9/16:10-like screen rather than the current tall, narrow slab shape.
  • Leaks describe a roughly 6.35-inch 1.5K display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a metal frame, features aimed at reducing black bars for standard video and improving landscape gaming comfort.
  • Sources consistently name a MediaTek Dimensity-series chipset and a 200-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization as core specs, signaling flagship-level imaging and performance in the leaks.
  • Reports conflict on model positioning and extra cameras: one tipster frames the phone as a mid-range 'Reno X' with 50MP ultrawide and a 200MP periscope claimed, while another presents it as a 'Pro' device, so naming and some camera claims remain unverified.
  • Industry watchers link the leaks to Huawei's Pura X View success in China and say wider non-folding phones could appeal to users who watch more video or play games in landscape, but all details are based on unconfirmed tipster reports and not yet announced by OPPO.
