Oppo's ai pen stuns samsung fans as foldable's global launch approaches

Oppo's upcoming foldable smartphone, the Find N6, is generating buzz not just for its sleek design and impressive specs but also for its support of an AI-powered stylus, a feature Samsung fans thought they'd lost with the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Stylus comeback

Oppo's AI Pen, which will be sold as a separate accessory, marks a surprising return to stylus functionality in the foldable space. This move comes after Samsung removed S Pen support from its latest foldable flagship.

While it's uncertain how many users would switch to Oppo solely for the AI Pen, the inclusion of a stylus could be a major draw for those who value the precision and control it offers.

Find n6 specs and launch details

The Oppo Find N6 is expected to boast an 8.12-inch foldable display, a 200MP Hasselblad-tuned primary camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, and a 6,000mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging capabilities.

Oppo has announced a global premiere event for the Find N6 on March 17, suggesting a wider launch beyond China. Although a US release seems unlikely, European customers may have access to the device.

The company will also debut a new smartwatch, the Watch X3, which will come in orange, titanium, and black color options featuring a metal chassis and a large digital crown.

With Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 rumored to potentially regain S Pen support, the stage is set for a renewed competition in the foldable market. Oppo's bold move with the AI Pen could give the brand an edge in enticing consumers looking for a stylus-friendly foldable experience.
