Oppo’s going to be the last of the big three into the wide-foldable race, by the looks of it, and a fresh leak out of China suggests the company wants the wait to count for something. A tipster on Weibo, Smart Pikachu, posted new design details on what most people now expect to land as the Find N7 Wide. Two things jumped out. The inner display is supposedly close to crease-free, and the rear camera is moving to a horizontal layout instead of the round island Oppo’s stuck with for years.
That camera switch matters more than it might seem at first. Look back at every Find N foldable so far and you’ll find the same circular camera island, which turned into a bit of an Oppo signature even though plenty of people never warmed to it. Going horizontal lines the phone up with how most flagships look right now, and on a wider body it opens up room to lay the internals out differently. Which sensors actually sit in there, the leak doesn’t say. Earlier reports lean toward Oppo just carrying the Find N6 setup over, so a 200MP main, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP periscope telephoto.
Here’s where I’d slow down, though. “Crease-free” is one of those phrases foldable makers love and it usually means nothing at all. Oppo’s version is worth a little more trust, and the reason is the Find N6. That phone already got the crease close to invisible before anyone started whispering about an N7, using a reworked hinge, and reviewers who actually held it mostly agreed, the fold line was there but nowhere near the distraction it is on rival phones at the same money. So this isn’t a brand promising magic out of nowhere. It’s building on hardware that already pulled it off once. That’s the bit I’d pay attention to.
The rest of the spec sheet comes from a separate leak, this one from Digital Chat Station. Expect a 7.6-inch screen on the inside and a 5.5-inch cover display, running Qualcomm’s still-unannounced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 on a 2nm process. Panels reportedly come from either Samsung Display or BOE, and the hinge is said to be the same crease-killing one off the N6. Folded up, it’s meant to look roughly like a passport, then open out into a wide landscape screen rather than the taller book shape you get on a normal foldable.
Whether Oppo ships one phone or two is still up in the air. The leaks leave room for a Find N7 Wide plus a regular Find N7 that follows the Find N6 directly, but nobody’s confirmed both are real yet.
The same leak slips in a line about the flagship slab too. The Find X10 Ultra is apparently being tested with a really thin, near bezel-less display, while sticking with a camera module close to what’s on the Find X9 Ultra today.
The timing is the part buyers should actually care about. The first quarter of 2027 is the window, which lands the N7 Wide behind Apple’s foldable iPhone, tipped for a September 2026 reveal next to the iPhone 18 Pro, and behind Samsung’s wide Galaxy Z Fold, too. Showing up last doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It means Oppo gets to sit back, watch what Apple and Samsung do with the format, and then aim at something it can actually see. If that extra time turns into a sharper phone or just a later one, well, we won’t know until early 2027 rolls around.
