Vivo is gearing up to release new foldable smartphones. The company is expected to debut Vivo X Fold 2 and Vivo X Flip this month.

The latter is the brand’s first clamshell foldable smartphone. A live image of this device has now emerged on the internet.

The picture reveals the design of the handset. It matches a mockup render from earlier.

Vivo X Flip

Wang Ziwen (aka Ava Wang) is a popular Chinese actress. She did a photoshoot promoting the upcoming Vivo X Flip recently.

An image from this gallery was shared by Digital Chat Station earlier today. The picture showcases the device in purple color.

The phone will feature a circular camera module, like the rest of the Vivo X lineup, including the Vivo X Fold series. It will be located on the top left corner of the handset when unfolded. As a result, the rectangular cover screen will be placed below it.

Hence, in the folded state, the cover display comes on the top of the camera module. This sounds bad as it would be difficult to reach the screen with one hand. 

To avoid this inconvenience, the cover display on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series is placed on the top end, which comes down when folded. The same is the case for Oppo Find N2 Flip.

As far as specs are concerned, previous reports have revealed the Vivo X Flip will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC and will boot Android 13. The chipset will be paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.

It will flaunt a 6.8-inch main foldable display with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. While the rectangular cover screen will offer a resolution of 682 pixels.

For photography and videography, the phone will use a Zeiss-powered dual camera system. It will sport a 50MP Sony IMX866 primary sensor and a 12MP Sony IMX663 ultra-wide unit.

Last but not least, it will be backed by a 4,400mAh battery and carry support for 44W fast wired charging.
