In collaboration with Japanese design studio Nendo, Chinese premium electronics maker OPPO has unveiled a conceptual smartphone of the future that folds three times down to a bank card size.

The company wants to develop a smartphone with a triple-fold design. Such smartphones will turn out to be very compact and can be easily placed in a shirt pocket.

When OPPO's new gadget is fully unfolded, the smartphone has a seven-inch screen with narrow bezels. If you slide the outer casing halfway, you can take selfies using the main camera system.
