OPPO may be developing smartphones that integrate a screen on the back of the model, an unusual feature in terminals, especially in the European market.
But it seems that the Chinese brand is also preparing to launch another top of the range to compete with Motorola and Xiaomi.
The patent shows three smartphones with different display options on the back
Apparently, OPPO has already received the green light for its patent for a smartphone with an integrated screen in the back. And therefore, the brand wants to go further and is already securing the rights to three more designs that incorporate this unusual feature.
According to information published by the LetsGoDigital website, the brand may be developing three models with different display options on the back, housed in the camera module. From what we can see in the images, the options being worked on include various screen sizes and formats.
Regarding the functionality of this screen, according to the same source it can serve as a viewfinder that would allow the user to use the main camera to capture selfies. Of course, later the manufacturer will be able to expand the range of characteristics of this resource.
OPPO is not the first brand to work on this function, for example Xiaomi has already introduced a screen on the back of its Mi 11Ultra model that shows the battery status, hours, notifications, among other useful information.
However, it is highly unlikely that the brand will introduce this peculiar feature in one of its upcoming smartphones. All because, in general, brands need some time to bring the ideas and / or concepts defined in patent registries to market.
OPPO Find X5 could arrive in the first quarter of 2022

But there is also news related to the upcoming high-end series from OPPO. Like its designation. Apparently, the new “family” of premium smartphones will be called Find X5, which in succession logic suggests that the brand will “drop” number four.
This may be related to the fact that this number is associated with bad luck in Chinese culture and, for reasons of superstition, a model with this number is not successful in the market.
Specs-wise, at least one Find X5 series model is expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and hit the market in Q1 2022. Especially since OPPO has recently advanced its smartphone equipped with Qualcomm. The latest processor would reach users on the same date.
Three new models in the Find X5 series
But it seems that OPPO also wants to include in the Find X5 series a smartphone with MediaTek’s latest processor, the Dimensity 9000. And now the well-known Digital Chat Station claims that the brand may have a third model on the way for Find. X5 series. The processor to be included is unknown.
According to the reliable leaker, the new OPPO series may be made up of the Find X5, Find X5 Pro and Fin X5 Pro + models. The new series is also expected to be a significant upgrade from its Find X3 predecessor.
In other words, it is desirable that OPPO includes its 80-watt fast charging technology in the next premium smartphones, especially since it was one of the pioneers in this function and will want to compete with Xiaomi’s 120-watt flash charge.
