The video also shows that just like Samsung Galaxy phones, Oppo’s cell phone may come with an S-pen like a hidden pen. According to Oppos Tweet, “sliding a crease exposes 40mm of the screen with simple features that don’t require a full screen. These are ideal for applications like call history, notifications, and music player interfaces.” After the second fold, an 80mm screen is exposed, which is ideal for clicking pictures and playing games.
