Passionate about making complex topics accessible and engaging.Large battery in a compact foldableAs per the recent leak, OPPO is testing Find N7, which comes with a battery that starts with the digit “6”, and currently the target is around 6,500mAh capacity.With such specifications, OPPO will give the phone one of the biggest batteries among other book-style foldable smartphones. The capacity mentioned above is considerably bigger compared to those found in rival foldables by Samsung and Apple that are said to come with smaller batteries.This means that OPPO is focusing on one of the biggest problems facing foldable smartphones, which is low battery capacity due to a thin design.Wide foldable design expected to continuePrevious leaks by the same source have shown that OPPO is following the design concept established by its previous Find N range of smartphones.The Find N7 will reportedly be equipped with an outer display size of 5.5 inches, while the foldable inner display will reportedly measure 7.6 inches. In contrast to other taller foldable models, the wider outer display is predicted to provide a traditional smartphone display experience in its folded state.More articles by AuthorTrending StoriesThe displays are reportedly supplied by Samsung Display (SDC) and BOE.Upgraded hinge under developmentIt is also rumoured that OPPO has been developing a new hinge design for the upcoming foldable phone.Based on previous leaks, the new hinge design was made to drastically reduce the visibility of the screen crease, an aspect of foldables that is still being actively pursued by smartphone manufacturers due to its maturation.While details about the hinge specifications are not yet known, the goal seems to be focused on increasing its durability and reducing the visibility of the crease.Snapdragon flagship chip could power the deviceThe recently acquired information further points out that OPPO is testing the Find N7 with Qualcomm's next-generation flagship processor, which is highly likely to be launched under the name of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 (SM8950).If that becomes the case, then it would be the first foldable phone with Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship processor.According to the leaked information, OPPO is further testing the on-device AI acceleration hardware along with the SoC. However, there is nothing else to say regarding the on-device AI hardware.Multiple camera designs being testedInterestingly, OPPO is reportedly experimenting with two different rear camera layouts during the development phase.One prototype is said to feature the company's familiar large circular camera island, while another adopts a horizontal camera module. According to the tipster, both designs are currently under evaluation, suggesting OPPO has not yet finalised the handset's rear appearance.Which design eventually reaches production remains to be seen.Launch timelineOPPO Find N7 has been tipped to hit the market in Q1 2027.Even though OPPO has yet to confirm the existence of the phone along with its specifications, there have been multiple leaks by Digital Chat Station pointing at its development being underway. More details on the smartphone itself and on its camera, operating system and price will likely follow close to the release date.Assuming the above specifications are indeed accurate, Find N7 would distinguish itself by merging the smallest wide foldable design possible with one of the most powerful batteries available in this category and a new Qualcomm flagship processor.Frequently Asked Questions1.
