We have heard about the liquid metal: Liquid Metal, which has been related to Apple so much. However, so far the only thing we have seen is a clip to remove the SIM card tray that came with the iPhone. Oppo It could get ahead of Apple and launch a liquid metal smartphone.
It must be said, yes, that this liquid metal is not the same as the Liquid Metal of which Apple obtained exclusivity with the company that had the patent. This exclusivity that he signed, yes, ended at the beginning of 2015, so it seems that Apple has not managed to launch any of its products using Liquid Metal as they wanted. Oppo could achieve this, although with its own material, which it has created by combining metal with resin, and making the metal turn into liquid when it increases in temperature. Apparently, this material could be used to improve thermal efficiency. You already know that precisely one of the problems that aluminum smartphones present is that the temperature they reach is higher, and that is a problem when using high-performance processors. This material could change it.
We do not know if the company will use this material in the new Oppo N3 that we have heard of, which would have a rotating camera, or if the company intends to use it in a future smartphone. We have been able to find out about Oppo's work in this work through the same means that the company uses to announce its news, the Oppo Facebook page, where they usually publish information related to the future smartphones that they are going to launch. In this case they are not talking about any smartphone, but simply a video has been published in which this liquid metal is seen. In the video there is a sheet of liquid metal glued to a glass of water. When filling the glass with hot water, the temperature of the plate increases, and the metal goes from being solid to being liquid. In the future the company will give more data on this material, and it is hoped that they will explain how they have applied it to the smartphone that already has liquid metal. What does seem to confirm is that the company will launch a metallic smartphone, something that is to be appreciated, as it will be a high-quality smartphone.
What is striking is that in the time it has taken Apple to launch something with Liquid Metal - remember that it had signed the exclusivity in use for smartphones - other companies are launching products with similar technologies. It's because of things like this that we can finally talk about iPhone 6 as a smartphone full of contradictions.
