Last week, Vivo entered three new product categories on the same day. They are foldable, tablet, and phablet. The first devices in these three categories are officially called Vivo X Fold, Vivo Pad, and Vivo X Note respectively.

All of them come with high-end features. The foldable and the phablet even carry premium price tags to match their specs. However, the tablet falls under the mid-range price segment like most flagship tablets from Chinese OEMs.

Let’s take a look at these products one by one.

Vivo’s first foldable, tablet, and phablet are finally here

Vivo’s First Foldable – Vivo X Fold
