Oppo Reshuffles Flagship Strategy and Works on New Foldable and Gimbal Camera
Oppo appears to be changing its flagship product strategy. Recent reports point to a reshuffle of its Find X smartphone lineup. The company has reportedly shelved the Find X10 Ultra. It may reuse some of the planned camera and display hardware in the upcoming Find X11 Pro Max instead. At the same time, Oppo is also looking beyond phones.
Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station claims that Oppo is working on a wide-screen foldable phone. The handset is tipped to feature a 2nm Snapdragon AI flagship chipset. It is also expected to have a crease-free inner display and a 200-megapixel camera with gimbal imaging capabilities. The tipster says the device is ready. However, no launch timeline has been shared yet.
In addition, a second phone is said to be in development. It is expected to carry a wider-than-usual 16:9 display with narrow bezels. Oppo could equip it with a MediaTek Dimensity 9-series flagship chipset and a 200-megapixel camera with a large sensor. There is still no word on when either phone might debut.
Furthermore, Oppo is reportedly developing a pocket-sized gimbal camera. The device could reach the market towards the end of 2026. The leak offers few other details, so its exact camera specifications and design remain unknown. If launched, the rumoured gimbal camera would mark Oppo’s entry into a segment currently occupied by DJI’s Osmo Pocket series and Insta360’s compact cameras.
Meanwhile, some features originally developed for the cancelled Find X10 Ultra could make it into the Find X11 Pro Max. The Pro Max is tipped to get a 200-megapixel main camera and a 2K 144Hz display. It could also feature a 100-megapixel square selfie camera. However, it may not receive the 10x periscope telephoto camera that was reportedly planned for the X10 Ultra.
Oppo has yet to confirm whether any of these products will reach the market. The company continues to keep official details under wraps.
