The company Oppo presented the Oppo Find N6 phone, which brings one of the biggest improvements in the segment of flexible phones: it almost completely removes the fold and strain on the screen in the fold area.
Oppo claims to have achieved the so-called “Zero-Feel Crease”, i.e. a screen without a visible crease, which is a long-standing challenge for this category of devices. Although Samsung Electronics started the era of bendable phones back in 2019, the fold in the middle of the screen remained one of the main flaws.
Oppo’s “Zero crease” technology changes the rules of the flip phone game
Find N6 uses an advanced hinge mechanism and innovative 3D liquid technology to fill in micro irregularities. In this way, the difference in the height of the fold is reduced from the typical 0.2 mm to only 0.05 mm, which makes it practically imperceptible in everyday use.
In addition, the application of self-leveling glass reduces the long-term formation of folds by more than 80% compared to previous generations.
Interestingly, the device uses Samsung Display panels, but Oppo through its own hinge design and construction manages to extract the maximum potential from the technology.
Analysts point out that Chinese manufacturers no longer only play the price card, but are increasingly targeting the premium segment through technological innovation. The market of flexible phones thus enters a new phase of development.
With the expected arrival of the bendable iPhone model later this year and the already strong position of Samsung, the industry is heading for a three-way competition between the leading global players.
Although bendable phones currently make up a small part of the overall market, their growth potential is huge, and innovations like this clearly show the direction in which the technology will continue to develop, reports MSN.
