the description so yesterday we had the oppo x 2021 showcase which truly is an innovation in
the smartphone industry and today we've got even more detail surrounding this futuristic device
before we get started though please like the video if you're a fan of oppo let me know in
the comments what device you're watching this video on when it comes to this year's smartphones
though they've all kept a similar design across all of the manufacturers apart from the folding
devices when it comes to the folding devices we're at a great stage already with the z fold 2 and the
huawei mate xs proving very popular many however worry about creases in the middle of the screen
and somewhat vulnerable devices but oppo have just come up with a completely different solution
that's incredible yesterday oppo unveiled the oppo x 2021 smartphone that instead of bending
or folding it extends into a larger display to provide us with an incredibly futuristic device
it was showcased at oppo's inno day and the oppo x 2021 uses oppo's new rollable technology that
allows you to choose the size of your display one of the main advantages with oppo's design over the
others is that there's no hard folding whatsoever which eliminates a crease forming in the middle of
the display over time and this is something that people have just sort of come to accept until now
the extended display is also powered by a motor which means no manual intervention and
while many worried about motorized parts inside a smartphone in the past they have held up well
so far although of course this will no doubt be a larger motor than the pop pop-out selfie cameras
now to get to this design oppo have filed 122 patents according to gizmo china and there are
actually 12 different patents used on this roller mechanism alone oppo are focusing on durability
and support structure when it comes to their oppo x extending display and they've used a two
in one plate that structurally supports the device when in compact mode and when fully extended the
support panel is actually made up of two different parts when the display of the oppo x is extended
one portion of this support slides out with it meaning you don't have a fragile device when it's
in full screen mode it seems as though this isn't just a choice between a small screen or a large
screen either as oppo's chief 5g scientist henry tang stated compared with foldable technologies
rollable displays are a lot more adaptable is they're adjustable between minimum and maximum
sizes for different use case scenarios so we can expect the user to be able to adjust accordingly
which would mean plenty of choices when it comes to aspect ratios now when it comes to the display
as with the others it's still a flexible oled that moves so we can't protect it with thick glass
oppo have made a custom laminate for the screen though to add extra protection the laminate is
0.1mm thick and they say it firmly protects the screen and while it looks very durable we'll have
to wait and see the display of the oppo x 2021 is a 6.7 inch display when it's in its compact mode
so the same as a larger mobile phone when fully extended we get a 7.4 inch display
and as we covered the user can choose different sizes in between or may be able to in the future
we can see from the footage that it's a slide motion control to extend or retract the display
and of course it's an oled display but no details of resolution are known at this time
but we do know it was thanks to them working with boe now it's important to note that this is still
a prototype smartphone but unlike others who have given us concepts the oppo x 2021 is real
and it exists but that doesn't mean it's definitely coming to consumers it's a device for
them to showcase the incredible innovation that they've achieved but we do hope to see either this
device or something very similar coming to the consumer market and i've seen no reason why it
shouldn't oppo have even said themselves that they aim to bring the technology to consumers but they
only said in due time they did not give us a date at oppo's inno day event we also had the unveiling
of the oppo ar glasses now we've seen these in the past but this year we have a much improved version
the previous version was very bulky and it was more in between ar glasses and a vr headset but
the 2021 version is getting to a much better form factor because of its more slimline design
it's reportedly 75 percent lighter than the 2019 version and it's going to come with a usb-c port
that can connect to smartphones as well as the weight and size reduction they use the birdbath
optical solution which reportedly increased the contrast by 53 percent brightness by 98 and pixels
per degree by an impressive 40 so this means more pixels and a brighter better looking display the
ar glasses have a 0.71 inch oled display and they refract light to the eye by a spectroscope there's
also a built-in audio speaker to allow the user to do many different things it can be paired with a
smartphone that provides endless possibilities we can also use them for navigation as the ar
glasses are able to track hand movements and gestures they can actually recognize 21 different
markers on a hand this is by using the binocular fisheye camera along with a timer flight camera
now along with gaming and apps the ar has a clear use for those that want a home cinema experience
they can actually give the illusion of watching a 90-inch screen from just three meters away
well the technology is still relatively in its infancy there's a lot of improvements and i
think there's going to be a lot developed with ar technology in all areas the use case possibilities
are endless but it won't really be until we have some very refined versions that we start to see
what apps and games people can develop but that pretty much covers the news for today
but as always i'd like to know your thoughts in the comments who out there is excited for this
new technology and would anyone consider buying it but thanks for watching the video if you liked
it smash a thumbs up if you didn't hit the thumbs down twice and i'll see you guys in the next one
time
so
you
