OPPO may soon be ready to introduce additional flagship products besides smartphones. With the soaring prices of RAM making life difficult for smartphone manufacturers and causing them to invest more in order to develop new devices, OPPO, the China-based tech company, has been experimenting with new product types and designs for smartphones. According to a latest leak, OPPO will soon be launching three flagship products, which include a pocket gimbal camera, a next generation foldable smartphone, and a regular smartphone with a larger screen size.

The news has been shared by the famous leaker Digital Chat Station, who has revealed some preliminary specs of the three products. While all three products are currently under development at OPPO, the pocket gimbal camera is said to be closer to launch than the others.

OPPO Pocket Gimbal Camera Could Launch by Late 2026

OPPO's new product that attracts attention is a pocket gimbal camera designed by this company. According to some sources, this device will be designed specifically to compete with DJI's Osmo Pocket cameras that became very popular among people who make videos because of their small size, built-in stabiliser, and ability to record videos.

Earlier, OPPO's pocket camera was rumored to be equipped with the 200MP Sony LYT-901 sensor, which will help this device become a strong competitor in the segment of pocket cameras. Mechanical stabiliser in combination with a high-resolution camera can provide good images and videos even without using the whole camera equipment.

It is expected that the standalone camera will appear at the end of 2026. In case if these specifications are true, this can be the entry of OPPO into the growing market of vloggers, travelers, and creators of content. However, there is no information regarding the design, battery life, recording, and price of the product.

OPPO Find N7 Could Feature a Wider Foldable Display and 200MP Camera

The second gadget is believed to be under development, and it goes by the name OPPO Find N7. According to Digital Chat Station, the device is already available, but the release date of the gadget has not yet been unveiled.

In terms of hardware, it is expected to come with Qualcomm's upcoming 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. The device is also expected to have a wider inner screen without any crease, addressing two of the most important factors that one might look at when considering buying a foldable smartphone.

The third factor that might make this gadget stand out from others is camera technology. This particular device is reported to be developed with a 200 MP camera, equipped with gimbal stabilization. If the company succeeds in combining both of the features, the OPPO Find N7 can turn out to be an interesting premium choice among foldable smartphones.

It should be noted that the design philosophy of OPPO’s device fits into a trend of creating larger foldable phones. The Huawei Pura X Max and the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Fold are some of the gadgets associated with this approach. There are also rumors about a wider design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and foldable iPhone from Apple.

Instead of striving for the creation of taller foldables, manufacturers have started working on devices that would have more traditional proportions to create a regular smartphone-like experience when folded, and a better landscape display when unfolded. It seems that OPPO may adopt the same approach for the Find N7.

OPPO Also Exploring a Wide-Screen Flagship Smartphone

In addition to its upcoming foldable, OPPO is allegedly developing a traditional flagship phone featuring a peculiar form factor. Unlike most of the modern smartphones which are usually equipped with the tall displays, the mentioned device is said to be equipped with a 16:9 ratio custom display with thin bezels.

This rumored phone is said to move rather quickly along the path of development and may feature such a flagship chip as MediaTek Dimensity 9-series SoC. In addition to this, it is said to boast a 200MP main camera with a large sensor, meaning that OPPO might be ready to invest in its camera despite experimenting with a new screen ratio.

OPPO would not be the only company to consider this idea. The Pura X View from Huawei features a 16:9.5 display, while Xiaomi allegedly develops a similar non-folding phone. It is also rumored that OnePlus is working on the OnePlus 17 phone featuring a wide screen format.

Having an increased screen size would give numerous benefits, especially those that use their phones for watching movies, playing video games, or multi-tasking. With more horizontal room, it could be easier to use particular applications, particularly in landscape view.

There are a few problems that could arise from this format. A larger body size would mean that using one hand is less practical, and the software would need to be improved by developers and manufacturers to use up the extra space. The success of the phone would rely on its hardware-software integration.

OPPO Could Be Exploring New Smartphone Designs and Camera Products

In this way, the development of the three devices shows that OPPO is planning to move past the usual flagship phones as it seeks to venture into new areas in the premium phone space. In this regard, the pocket gimbal camera might be used by OPPO to join the rising trend of the creator-oriented camera space, while the Find N7 will offer a new outlook for foldable smartphones.

At the same time, the 16:9 flagship smartphone might mean that OPPO is not afraid to innovate in terms of display proportions instead of using the usual tall screen seen in smartphones.

At the moment, none of the three devices has been officially confirmed by OPPO and its specifications might still change upon the release of these devices. The pocket gimbal camera seems like the closest device to be released among the three, potentially coming at the end of 2026.

It remains to be seen if OPPO can develop these devices into commercial success stories.
