OPPO is reportedly testing a conventional, non-folding phone with a markedly wider shape than today’s typical tall smartphones. The device, tentatively called the OPPO Reno X, is said to use a 6.35-inch 16:9 display and carry a battery of up to 8,000mAh—an unusual combination for a handset of this screen size.
According to leaker Digital Chat Station, the current prototype has a flat 2,560 × 1,440-pixel panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. Other information has suggested a 16:10 aspect ratio instead, so the final screen format remains unclear. Either option would make the phone wider and shorter than the 19.5:9 or 20:9 designs used by most current smartphones, potentially giving it a small-tablet-like footprint without a foldable hinge.
- Display: 6.35-inch flat panel, 2,560 × 1,440 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, with 16:9 reported for the prototype.
- Battery: up to 8,000mAh; earlier information pointed to a 7,000mAh unit.
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 9600M.
- Cameras: three rear cameras, including two 200MP sensors.
The imaging system is rumored to include Samsung’s ISOCELL HPE and ISOCELL HP5 sensors. One of them is expected to be used for a periscope telephoto camera, though the sensors’ exact camera assignments have not been detailed. The reported setup would put both high-resolution photography and optical zoom at the center of the device’s camera hardware.
A 16:9 or 16:10 candybar phone would stand apart from the industry’s move toward increasingly narrow, elongated displays. The wider panel could better match landscape video and leave more horizontal space for interfaces, but it may also make one-handed use more difficult and reduce the vertical area available to apps designed around tall screens.
The Reno X is rumored to debut in China during the first quarter of 2027, potentially alongside the OPPO Find N7 foldable. OPPO has not confirmed the product name, specifications or launch window, and there is no indication yet of availability outside China. The eventual aspect ratio—and whether the project reaches retail hardware at all—remains the key detail to watch.
