"This is our first foldable flagship smartphone – a result of four years of intense R&D and 6 generations of prototypes. This device is Oppo's answer to the future of smartphones, and one that I’ve been truly excited about since taking on the role as chief product officer at Oppo," Lau wrote.

After more than a decade of rapid development, the smartphone industry has hit a wall. Whether it’s fast charging, high refresh rates, mobile photography covering several focal lengths, or 5G connectivity, smartphone development has reached a limit that requires new ways of thinking and new approaches to continue innovating.

 "In the past, smartphone evolution focused on the display panel, first combining a small display with a big keyboard, and evolving to today’s full-screen smartphones. But in an era where everyone has a phone with similar configurations, the smartphone experience has come to a standstill. If we can find a way to break through the bottleneck of smartphone displays, we could once again revolutionize efficiency and interactivity," Lau said.

 "As early as April 2018, the first generation of the Find N prototype was born internally. Although a handful of other brands have already introduced foldable devices to the market, barriers such as utility, durability and user experience continue to prevent foldable devices from becoming a more feasible daily driver for most people. So when I returned to Oppo last year, I was excited to take over this major project and guide the team to overcome the final hurdles to turn this dream into reality," he added.

"To us, the name Find N represents new possibilities. We are ushering in the next chapter of smartphones: the revolutionary experience of this new form factor will undeniably shake up the industry. The Find N is OPPO’s unique solution in an increasingly homogenized smartphone industry. I’d like to invite everyone to join us on December 15, the second day of OPPO INNO Day, to witness the launch of this exciting new product,"  Lau noted.
