Oppo's new foldable phone is one of the thinnest I've seen - and I hope OnePlus and Samsung follow suit

But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.
