Earlier this week, we reported that Honor has applied for trademarks for “Honor Magic Fold” and “Honor Magic Flip”, most likely names for its upcoming foldable devices. Now, it is the turn of Vivo as recent trademark filings hint at the launch of its foldable and rollable devices.
The Chinese manufacturer has applied for trademarks for “NEX Fold”, “Nex Slide”, and “NEX Roll” as spotted by MyFixGuide. Based on the names, it is safe to presume that these are foldable and rollable devices. The NEX Fold should have a similar form factor to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 or Mi MIX Fold while the NEX Slide and NEX Roll should have extendable displays.
It is also worth noting that all of these devices are under the NEX line of Vivo phones which is no surprise considering the NEX line doubles as Vivo’s experimental line of smartphones much like Xiaomi’s MIX series.
We do not the features of these devices and when to expect them to launch. A leak revealed Vivo’s product lineup for the second half of the year but it didn’t mention a foldable or rollable device. However, we won’t rule out the possibility of a concept or working prototype just like OPPO did last year with the OPPO X 2021.
Which of these devices are you excited for? Do let us know in the comment box.
