Back in April 2022, Vivo launched its first folding smartphone in the Chinese market, called the Vivo X Fold. Now, the brand has announced that it will launch a new foldable in China on September 26th called the Vivo X Fold+. So, let’s take a look at what we know so far about the device.

Design & display

Design-wise, the Vivo X Fold+ looks similar to the Vivo X Fold. The rear panel features a large rectangular island module that houses a circular camera sensor setup and other necessary sensors like the LED flash. The back of the device will also feature a leather-like finish, and the device will be available in three color options – Blue, Black, and Black.

Going by the rumors so far, we can expect the smartphone to have two ultrasonic fingerprint scanners as well as an alert slider on the side. The display is rumored to be the same as the X Fold, meaning that we will likely see a large 8.03-inch E5 LTPO OLED 3.0 inner display with UTG that has a 120Hz refresh rate, 2K resolution, and a 4:3.5 aspect ratio on the X Fold+. The secondary screen on the device will have a 6.53-inch E5 OLED panel that has a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support.

Specifications

Under the hood, the foldable is confirmed to bring the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which is based on TSMC’s 4nm process and is more energy efficient and slightly powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. As for RAM and storage, the device is said to come in two configurations – 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage.

It will also have a 4730mAh battery with 80W of wired charging and 50W of wireless charging. This charging speed is slightly higher than the 67W on the X-Fold.

Camera

The camera setup of the upcoming foldable is also said to be the same as the Vivo X Fold. This means that we can expect a Samsung GN5 50-megapixel primary sensor that has an f/1.75 aperture and OIS support. The primary sensor will be coupled with a 48-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens that has an f/2.2 aperture, a 12-megapixel portrait lens (47mm focal length), and a 5-megapixel periscopic telephoto lens with  5x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom. The front could feature a 16-megapixel sensor.
