So far, the Vivo Nex Fold is rumored to come with a 5x periscope zoom lens camera. But Vivo is also said to be working on another foldable device dubbed the Vivo X Fold which is rumored to come with a curved edge 6.5-inch display that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The Vivo X Fold is said to sport an inward folding design like the foldable devices from Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and OPPO.

It was last year that the very first foldable smartphones from both vivo and OPPO were tipped to be in the works. Later that year, the Find N from OPPO popped up and generated much hype thanks to its virtually crease-less display, among other things. And now, a new leak has revealed that vivo will soon be joining OPPO at the foldables club too with a device that may be called the vivo NEX Fold.

The information comes from tipster Panda is Bald who has also revealed a few specifications of the device. Its battery has been tipped to be sized 4,600mAh and will support up to 80W fast charging. While this isn’t the fastest around, the tipster has called it “luxurious” likely because of the fact that the speed is reserved for flagship BBK phones like the OnePlus 10 Pro and the upcoming OPPO Find X5.

Another bit revealed about the vivo NEX Fold is that it will come with a 5x periscope zoom lens. Again, periscope lenses are typically reserved for flagship-level devices so it’s kind of obvious that specs in other departments will be flagship-level too.

Apart from this, vivo is also set to launch its next flagship smartphone series. Dubbed vivo X80, the series may be comprised of four X80 models such as the vivo X80 SE, X80, X80 Pro, and X80 Pro+. From these, the alleged X80/X80 Pro recently surfaced on AnTuTu with the all-new Dimensity 9000 chipset, achieving some really impressive scores.

Vivo NEX series smartphone powered by Snapdragon 898 SoC expected to launch soon

Jeet — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 06:53:17 +0000

Vivo has launching NEX lineup of smartphones that mainly act as an experimental devices from the Chinese brand. It has been more than a year now since the company launched a new device under its NEX lineup.

Now, a new report coming from Digital Chat Station claims that the next smartphone getting launched by Vivo will be the NEX lineup device. It has also been revealed that the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset.

Apart from that, the report also mentions launching the iQOO 9 series smartphones after the Vivo NEX series phone launch. This one too with be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 SoC.

While details about the next-generation Vivo NEX smartphone has not been revealed by the company, the recently certified model V2102A, powered by SD898 chipset and having 44W fast charging support, was believed to be it. However, the phone is now expected to arrive as a Y-series phone with the Y71T moniker.

Previously, we reported that the next-generation NEX series smartphone, the successor of the NEX 3 from Vivo, won’t be called NEX 5. Instead, the device is likely to be called Vivo NEX Fold given that it will be a foldable smartphone. While the exact launch date is not yet known, we expect to know more about it in the coming weeks.

As for the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, it will be manufactured using the Samsung 4nm process with a new architecture and Adreno 730 GPU. The company is also expected to launch another variant of the same, manufactured by TSMC at a later date.

Vivo trademarks NEX Fold, NEX Slide, and NEX Roll for its foldable and rollable devices

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.
