New details about Oppo's wide-screen phone surface
Rumors about a wide-screen flagship smartphone from Oppo have been circulating for some time. A new leak has now revealed details on the device’s display aspect ratio and overall width.
Tipster Digital Chat Station claims that Oppo’s wide-screen smartphone, rumored to be called the Reno X, will feature a 16:9 display.
Here’s what Oppo’s rumored phone with a 16:9 display could look like
A 16:9 aspect ratio was common on older smartphones, but modern phones typically feature taller displays with a 19.5:9 or 20:9 aspect ratio.
DCS also noted that the phone will offer narrow bezels on all sides measuring around 1mm. The total width of the screen is said to be 81mm, whereas the phone would be around 85mm wide.
The tipster had previously claimed that the device would feature a 6.3 inch to 6.4 inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. However, based on the latest information, Oppo’s upcoming phone could feature a slightly larger 6.5 inch screen.
Huawei's Pura X View with a 5:3 display
Meanwhile, Huawei’s Pura X View, currently the only wide-screen, non-folding smartphone on the market, features a 5:3 display and an 87mm wide body.
Based on the rumored dimensions, Oppo’s upcoming phone could be slightly taller and narrower than Huawei’s offering.

Support 16:9 phones by buying first, then maybe if they sell enough for oppo to turn them into a permanent line they could make a limited edition 16:9 phone with bezels
