Oppo Expected to Share Details of its Foldable Phone at MWC 2019

Samsung has already given us a sneak peek at its upcoming foldable phone and several patents recently revealed that even LG is working on foldable phones, however, it seems like Oppo is also gearing to talk about its own foldable creation at MWC 2019 in February next year.

As per a new report in Dutch blog Tweakers.net, one of Oppo’s product managers Chuck Wang talked about the company’s foldable phone plans at its headquarters in Shenzhen, China. Though Wang did not reveal any details on the device, he stated that the Chinese giant will be ready to reveal more information on this front at MWC.

You can find Wang’s statement, loosely translated from Dutch, attached below:

We know brands such as Samsung and Sony are working on a foldable phone, you can also expect more news from Oppo on that topic, maybe at MWC.

While this statement doesn’t guarantee that the Chinese giant is ready to showcase their foldable phone, there’s no lack of innovation at Oppo’s camp. We’ve already seen a lot of firsts and crazy implementations (be it the Oppo N3 or Find X) from the company and we are hopeful of its efforts in the foldable direction as well.

During the interaction, Wang has also revealed that the company is working on placing a camera under the display glass instead of making a cutout for the same. However, Oppo hasn’t been successful in doing the same until date because the images taken with an in-display camera were blurred and it’s over the next two years that the technology will be ready for implementation.

We’ve reached out to Oppo for more information on the same and will update this story once we hear back from them.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social...
