Oppo's Pocket Gimbal Camera Tipped to Arrive This Year as Wide Foldable Nears Launch
Oppo is reportedly preparing three new flagship products: a pocket gimbal camera codenamed Fuyao tipped to debut before the end of 2026, a wide-screen foldable said to be ready for launch, and a wide candybar phone with a 16:9 display. None of the three has been confirmed by Oppo yet.
Oppo's Pocket Gimbal Camera Tipped to Arrive This Year as Wide Foldable Nears Launch
Oppo is reportedly working on three new flagship products at once, and the first of them could arrive before the year is out. According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the line-up includes a pocket gimbal camera, a wide-screen foldable phone, and a wide candybar flagship with an unusual 16:9 display. Oppo has not confirmed any of the three, so every detail below should be read as a leak, not an announcement.
The image above shows a pocket gimbal camera of this kind in use on a city street. Oppo has not shared an official photo of its rumoured device.
A pocket gimbal camera, codenamed Fuyao
The most immediate of the three products is the pocket gimbal camera, reportedly codenamed Fuyao. Digital Chat Station says it will debut by the end of 2026, which would put Oppo into a category now led by DJI's Osmo Pocket line and Insta360's handheld cameras.
Earlier reports cited by GSMArena suggest the camera could carry a 200-megapixel sensor measuring 1/1.12 inches, with Hasselblad branding. Indian outlet Digit, reporting the same leak, adds that the sensor may be Sony's LYT-901 and that the device could run on a 3nm Snapdragon 8-series chip. A large sensor of that size in a pocket-sized body would be a notable step for a standalone vlogging camera, but until Oppo shows the device, the specifications remain unconfirmed.
The timing is interesting. Oppo confirmed work on a gimbal camera earlier this year around the Find X9 Ultra launch, so a dedicated pocket camera would not come out of nowhere. It would also give Oppo a product aimed squarely at creators who currently buy a separate camera instead of relying on a phone.
A wide-screen foldable, likely called Find N7
The second product is a wide-screen foldable that the tipster says is already ready for launch, and which is likely to be called the Find N7. It is said to use a 2nm Snapdragon flagship processor, a crease-free inner display, and a 200-megapixel rear camera with gimbal stabilisation.
Other outlets reporting the same leak identify the chip as Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, and note that the Find N7 could reach the market in the first quarter of 2027. A wider inner display would set it apart from the taller, narrower book-style foldables that dominate today, and it follows the direction Huawei has taken with the wide Pura X line. The 200-megapixel camera with gimbal imaging would also be unusual for a foldable, where camera hardware is usually compromised for thinness.
A wide candybar flagship, expected to be called Reno X
The third device is a conventional smartphone with a custom 16:9 display and slim bezels, expected to be called the Reno X. It is tipped to run on a flagship Dimensity 9-series processor and to carry a 200-megapixel main camera. According to Digit, it could have a 6.35-inch OLED display and an 8,000mAh battery.
A 16:9 screen would be a throwback: almost every modern phone uses a taller aspect ratio, and a wider display would change how videos, games and reading look on the handset. Digital Chat Station describes the Reno X as being in the final stages of development, though no launch window has been given.
What to make of the leak
All three products are reportedly built around 200-megapixel camera sensors, which suggests Oppo is leaning hard on imaging as the common thread across a new hardware push. But the leak comes from a single tipster, and Oppo has said nothing official about any of the three devices. Names, specifications and launch dates can all change before anything is announced.
For now, the pocket camera is the one to watch: it is the only product with a suggested launch window, before the end of 2026. If it appears, it will be Oppo's first standalone camera product and a direct challenge to the pocket gimbal cameras that creators already carry. The foldable and the wide candybar phone look further away, and their details should be treated with more caution until Oppo or a second source confirms them.
