UPDATE: According to AndroidWorld (translated), Oppo's officials were misquoted as confirming the MWC 2019 foldable phone announcement. Instead, the company apparently told European journalists on a Shenzhen visit that it is aware of Samsung and Sony's plans in this fledgling segment, preparing some related news of its own that may be delivered as early as February 2019. That leaves a lot more room for interpretation and doubt, so we'll just have to wait and see exactly what happens at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Original story follows.
