Oppo has a new 2nd-generation Titanium Flexion Hinge, which is made using a liquid 3D printed component. The development process starts with precise laser scanning, which creates a high-fidelity model for each surface of the hinge. The process then moves to the liquid 3D printing phase, where Oppo uses tiny photopolymer resin droplets to fill uneven areas. The 3D printing process helps eliminate any structural irregularities at a microscopic level.
Available in 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, and 83-inch options, this year's model is over 30% brighter, according to Samsung.
