OPPO X 2021 ROLLABLE PHONE HANDS ON

 OPPO X 2021

in the past year or two we've seen ahandful of foldable phones coming from the likes of samsung huawei and motorola and even lg managed to surprise us with a phone that came with a swivel screen so what kind of new form factor can we expect to see this year well today we're gonna check out the oppo x 2021 rollable phone the idea here is to give you the option to switch between the conventional 6.7 inch screen and a slightly bigger 7.4 inch screen with each giving you a different aspect ratio to better suit your needs be in reading text or looking at photos or watching videos to expand the screen simply double click the power button or do a swipe up gesture and you can watch the magic happen likewise to retract the screen just double click again or do a swipe down gesture and here you go and as the screen resizes itself you can also see the content being adjusted on the fly the main enabling technology here is the flexible oled panel which goes around a rolling stick on this side of the phone to the back and the moving mechanism is driven by two motors underneath in order to give an even force across the screen in order to give the phone and the screen a rigid structure there's a two in one plate design with their fingers interlocked so that when they are opened or closed they still give a solid structure overall on top of that the oled panel is actually reinforced by a thin layer of caterpillar track laminate indeed having poked around the screen a few times in both states i'm still surprised by how solid it feels especially when compared to the screens on some of the foldable phones i've handled before truth be told though the oppo x2021 is a little chunkier and heavier than most other flagship phones but luckily for me i'm so used to my lg wing that this phone feels almost the same in terms of weight and size and in return i do get the flexibility in terms of screen size now of course there's always space for improvement for one i'm not sure why but the volume buttons are missing here maybe oppo had another idea earlier but it never got around to it so never mind that and here i can actually see a faint crease line along where it would normally be wrapped around the stick but again compared to the foldable phones this is nowhere as severe so i think i can tolerate that what's more annoying is perhaps the gap here that's causing some dust to be gathered so whenever i open the phone i have the tendency to use my finger or a piece of cloth to wipe down that line of dust just like that so hopefully oppa will find a way to reduce this kind of issue sadly though oppo doesn't plan on mass producing this particular device but we all know that lg is planning on releasing something similar at some point this year well hopefully anyway so who knows maybe oprah will follow suit as well.
