vivo’s very first foldable smartphone codenamed ‘butterfly’ and named vivo X Fold is expected to be launched in April. After being spotted in the subway, revealing its near-crease-less front, the device’s under-screen ultrasonic fingerprint solution has now been exposed.
Tech blogger @Feiwei on Weibo today posted an image of what looks to be the disassembled displays of the vivo X Fold — both inner and outer ones. Both displays appear to have ultrasonic fingerprint sensors, which Feiwei describes as being more advanced and easier to use compared to side-mounted fingerprint sensors that most other foldables use.
The vivo X Fold will rival the OPPO Find N and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3, both of which have side-mounted fingerprint scanners, giving the vivo foldable an edge.
In addition, leakster Digital Chat Station had earlier said that the vivo X Fold comes with punch-holes in both the center of the outer screen as well as the center of the right half of the inner screen. The display will be a 2K+120Hz E5 LTPO screen from Samsung with support for DC dimming.
It is worth mentioning here that the vivo X Fold has already been certified by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and has even obtained 3C certification, meaning its launch is imminent.
