A few months after releasing its first foldable phone ever, Vivo came up with another model which is essentially a small upgrade of the first one. We are talking about the Vivo X Fold+: as we told you in a previous comparison, this model differentiates from the predecessor because of a bigger battery, better charging technologies, and an upgraded processor. With its specifications, it is definitely on par with the latest foldable phone from the most important brand in the niche: Samsung. We are obviously referring to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, available in the global market. Which one is the best of these two flagships? We will try to let you find out through this comparison between the main specifications of the Vivo X Fold+ and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4.

Vivo X Fold+ vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4

Design

The Vivo X Fold Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 have exactly the same form factor, with a big foldable display placed internally and a smaller external display for the moment in which you want to use these devices like normal phones. From an aesthetical point of view, I prefer the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 simply because it has a more minimalistic look: as you can see from the images of this device, its camera module is smaller and less invasive. But there are several people who prefer the amazing red color option of the Vivo X Fold Plus, very attractive due to its leather back. In each case, you are looking at very futuristic foldable phones and you won’t remain disappointed.

Display

The Vivo X Fold Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 are equipped with foldable internal displays able to transform these phones into tablets. The internal displays are very similar in terms of specifications: they are AMOLED panels with Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and very high peak brightness. But there are two important differences: the first is that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has a smaller panel (7.6 inches vs 8.03 inches), while the second is the support for the S Pen on the Samsung foldable, while the Vivo does not support a stylus. The external display is better on the Vivo X Fold+: it is an OLED panel with a 6.53-inch diagonal, a Full HD+ resolution, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Both devices are equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

You won’t find important differences between the performances of these two handsets because they are powered by the same mobile platform and they are equipped with the same amount of RAM. The chipset is a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 by Qualcomm built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. Further, there are 12 GB of RAM and at least 256 GB of internal storage. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 goes up to 1 TB of internal storage, while the Vivo X Fold+ stops at 512 GB. These phones run Android 12 out of the box and they are customized by Funtouch OS and One UI, respectively. However, the Z Fold 4 is the only one with Android 12L, a special version of the green robot for big displays.

Camera

The best camera phone in this comparison is definitely the Vivo X Fold+. It comes with a quad rear camera setup including a 50 MP main sensor with laser autofocus and OIS, an 8 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom for portraits, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 offers two front cameras able to record 4K videos: one with a 4 MP resolution and one with a 10 MP resolution.

Battery

The Vivo X Fold + has a bigger battery and its battery life will surely be longer in a lot of scenarios thanks to this. Further, it charges quicker thanks to the presence of 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

Price

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 debuted in the global market with a starting price of $1399 or €1399, while the Vivo X Fold + launched in China with a €1450 or $1450 starting price. The Vivo won’t be launched in the global market. While Samsung adds the S Pen support and better software, the Vivo has superior cameras and a bigger battery, as well as faster charging technologies. Which one would you pick?

The post Vivo X Fold+ vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

This year Vivo released its first foldable phone ever: The X Fold. The year did not even come to an end, but the Blue Factory already refreshed it with the launch of a new variant: the Vivo X Fold+. The Plus variant is better than the previous device because of the presence of a stronger processor and a bigger battery, as well as a faster charging technology to fill it. But is it also better than the other latest foldable phones released by the other brands? As always, we think there is no better way to understand it than by comparing the device with the best rivals out there. There are two devices that can compete with this handset more than any other: one of them is the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. This is a comparison between the main specifications of the Vivo X Fold+ and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 which will help you to understand which one is the best.

Vivo X Fold+ vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

Design

The Vivo X Fold Plus and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 come with similar form factors: they are foldable phones which can transform into tablets thanks to the presence of a huge foldable panel placed in the internal part (the one hidden while they are folded). If I look at their aesthetics, I personally prefer the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 because it has a less invasive camera module and it is also a thinner device. The dimensions of these handsets are not so different, but the Xiaomi is definitely thinner and lighter, especially thanks to the presence of a smaller battery. While it is unfolded it is just 5.4 mm thin, and while it is folded its thickness is just 11.2 mm. It weighs just 262 grams instead of more than 300 grams.

Display

The displays of these two phones are very close in terms of specifications. They both include two displays: an internal panel able to transform them into tablets, and an external one similar to normal phones. The internal display of the Vivo X Fold Plus is an AMOLED panel that has a diagonal of 8.03 inches, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, a 2K+ resolution of 1916 x 2160 pixels, and the HDR10+ certification. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 offers more or less the same specifications, but it adds Dolby Vision support and it is able to show up to one billion colors, so it is slightly better. Even the external panel of the Xiaomi is definitely better: it is a 6.56-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision. The Vivo has a 6.53-inch external display with AMOLED technology, the same Full HD+ resolution, and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Specs & Software

These two foldable phones are powered by the same processor, which is currently the best mobile platform by Qualcomm. We are talking about the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. On both phones, the SoC is paired with 12 GB of RAM, but the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 offers a higher amount of internal storage: up to 1 TB. The handsets run Android 12 out of the box with highly customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

When it comes to the camera setup, the Vivo X Fold Plus is the real winner in this comparison. It has a quad rear camera composed of a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor, all with Zeiss optics. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 lacks a periscope camera, replaced by an inferior 8 MP sensor with 2x optical zoom. The main sensor is still a 50 MP camera with OIS, but the ultrawide camera is another inferior 13 MP lens.

Battery

The Vivo X Fold Plus is equipped with a bigger battery sporting a capacity of 4730 mAh. Given that the phone has very similar components to the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, it should provide longer battery life in several scenarios. It even comes with wireless charging, unless the Mix Fold 2, as well as a faster wired charging technology.

Price

You need at least €1450/$1450 to purchase the Vivo X Fold Plus, while the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 starts from about €1300/$1300 at the actual change. They are only available in China. The Vivo X Fold+ wins the comparison thanks to a better camera and a bigger battery with better charging technologies.

After the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, it seems that Vivo also wants a slice of the foldable market in the second half of 2022, as the brand is already prepared to announce the company’s next foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold+ in China this September 26 (Monday).

Vivo’s upcoming flagship foldable launch event will be held in China on September 26 (Monday) today at 7 pm Beijing Time (GMT +8) / 4:30 pm New Delhi Time (GMT +4:30) / 1 pm Berlin (GMT +1).

The launch event will be live streamed on Vivo’s official online channels in China. For international audiences, you can head on over to the link below on September 26th, 2022 19:00 CST sharp to follow the reveal of the Vivo X Fold+.

Link to the official Weibo live stream here.

The upcoming Vivo X Fold+ has already been teased and leaked online for the past month, and to read more about the expected specs of this flagship foldable, you can head on over to our rumor roundup article here. Otherwise, here’s what you should know and expect from Vivo’s next iteration of its foldable future.

The Vivo X Fold+ is Vivo’s second try at making a premium foldable smartphone. Its predecessor, the Vivo X Fold, was launched back in April of this year and was critically praised in the industry for its bold leatherback design, lack of a visible crease, as well as a competent rear camera setup that can even rival the conventional camera slab flagships of 2022.

Naturally, Vivo has received much feedback from its first attempt at a foldable, and the Vivo X Fold+ seems like an iterative upgrade over the predecessor, with little to no design changes, but with improved internals inside.

Design-wise, the Vivo X Fold+ looks nearly identical 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 two previously available color options – Blue and Black, as well as a new exclusive eye-catching Red color from Vivo.

The upgrades confirmed so far are its internals. The new Vivo X Fold+ will feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile SoC which promises up to 30% higher power efficiency than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on the previous Vivo X Fold. The device will also feature a larger 4,730mAh battery than its predecessor, and support for faster 80W wired charging compared to 67W on the X Fold. The X Fold+ will also support Vivo’s proprietary 50W fast wireless charging that juice your phone from 0 to full wirelessly in less than an hour.

Vivo has also revealed that the X Fold+ is now more optimized for 5000+ Android apps on folding screens, as a result of the company’s software optimization for big-screen Androids. And besides those changes, the Vivo X Fold+ is expected to be the same everywhere else as the previous X Fold.

The Vivo X Fold+ would have two ultrasonic fingerprint scanners (one on the outer screen, and one on the inner folding screen) 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 outer front screen on the device will have a 6.53-inch E5 OLED panel that has a Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support.

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. Cameras are said to be the same quad camera setup on the X Fold, a 50 MP Samsung GN5 main sensor, 48 MP ultra-wide lens, 12 MP portrait lens, and a 5 MP periscope zoom lens with 5x optical zoom.

To know more about the Vivo X Fold+, such as pricing and availability, stay tuned to our coverage of the device here at Gizmochina on Monday!

Vivo is going to launch its second foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold+, in China on September 26. Ahead of its formal debut, the device has been spotted on the Wireless Power Consortium, which reiterates its design. The new foldable is confirmed to be equipped with a powerful processor and to feature some significant upgrades over its predecessor.

As initially spotted by MySmartPrice, the Vivo X Fold+ has appeared on the Wireless Power Consortium website with model number V2229A. The listing also includes an image, which gives us a good look at the smartphone’s design. The design is the same as what we have seen in Vivo’s teaser poster. However, in the listing, the foldable is pictured with a greyish paint job, which creates the possibility of an additional color option.

Vivo X Fold+ Specifications (Expected)

Many leaks and rumors suggest the Vivo X Fold+ will share many specifications and features with its predecessor. For instance, it is rumored to be equipped with the same 8.03-inch foldable display and a 6.53-inch cover screen as the Vivo X Fold. The device will offer a 120Hz refresh rate on both screens.

Under the hood, it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The device managed to get a decent benchmark score on Antutu and it will probably handle all tasks smoothly. The chipset will be paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It will be powered by a 4,730mAh battery with 80W of wired charging and 50W of wireless charging.

For optics, the smartphone will have a quad camera setup featuring a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 12-megapixel portrait camera with 2x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel periscope lens with 5x optical zoom. While at the front, it should have a 16-megapixel selfie camera.

Vivo launched its first foldable smartphone i.e. the X Fold in the first half of 2022 in China. The brand is reportedly working on its upgraded version dubbed the X Fold+. The device was listed on the TENAA certification website a few days bag. Now the same listing has been updated with the upcoming foldable phone’s images. 

From the TENAA listing, the Vivo X Fold Plus’s cover display has curved edges. The phone’s exterior looks similar to the X Fold. The images also give us a look at the inner foldable screen with a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout and the hinge. The back panel of the phone has a rectangular island housing a circular camera module. It accommodates four sensors out of which one is a periscope lens. There is also an LED flash unit and Zeiss branding. The Vivo X Fold+ is seen in a Black colour option and vertical strip on the faux leather back panel. 

Apart from this, the updated TENAA listing does not reveal any additional details about the Vivo X Fold+. The smartphone is tipped to feature a 6.53-inch primary FHD+ AMOLED display and an 8.03-inch interior screen with 2K resolution. Both displays will come with a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will reportedly be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and be backed by a 4,700mAh battery unit with support for 80W wired charging.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold4 and, just like last year, Xiaomi did not stand by and watch. The Chinese giant came up with the amazing Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, a device that has nothing to envy of the best foldable phones on the market. But this year, Samsung and Xiaomi are not the only companies that launched a foldable phone able to transform into a tablet. A few months ago, even Vivo launched its first foldable phone: the Vivo X Fold. Despite being the first foldable from the Blue Factory, it has no compromises and it is perfectly able to compete with the best ones. That is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison between the main specifications of the Vivo X Fold and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. If you want to know more, go ahead and, if you do not agree with us, let us know what you think by using the comment box below the article.

Vivo X Fold vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

Design

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 and the Vivo X Fold have the same form factor, with a foldable display on the internal part and an additional display on the external part. But which one is the most beautiful? I personally prefer the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 because it has a smaller camera module and because it is thinner and lighter than its rival. While unfolded, its thickness is just 5.4 mm, while the weight is 262 grams. However, the Vivo X Fold remains a beautiful foldable phone and it is not too heavy or too thick. The hinge mechanisms are sturdy and resistant, allowing to position the two handsets at different angles depending on the usage scenario. Both feature a nano SIM slot, but the Xiaomi is the only one with a dual SIM slot, while you can insert just one single SIM on the Vivo and it does not even support the eSIM technology.

Display

Coming to the internal foldable display, on the paper, Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 looks to offer a better panel. It is an AMOLED display with the LTPO 2.0 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and up to one billion colors just like the most advanced flagship-class panels. The foldable display has a diagonal of 8.02 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1914 x 2160 pixels, the HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of up to 1,300 nits. On the external part, there is an AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, the HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision, and a 6.56-inch diagonal. The Vivo X Fold has an 8.03-inch foldable AMOLED display with a 2K resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, while the external panel is a 6.53-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Specs & Software

If you are looking for the most advanced hardware, go for the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 without thinking twice. First of all, it is powered by the best Qualcomm chipset to date: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform. It is an SoC built at 4 nm with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at a frequency of 2.75 GHz, and four Cortex A510 running at 1.8 GHz, as well as an Adreno 730 GPU. The chipset is paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage, so there is more internal storage than Vivo X Fold which stops at 512 GB. Further, the X Fold has an inferior Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 comes with an interesting MIUI customization dedicated to foldable phones based on Android 12, while the Vivo runs Origin OS Ocean based on Android 12.

Camera

While the Xiaomi Fold 2 wins the display and hardware comparison, the Vivo X Fold is definitely better when it comes to the cameras. It has a quad rear camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor. With the Xiaomi, you only get a 50 MP main camera with OIS, an 8 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor.

The post Vivo X Fold vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this year, in the month of April, Vivo officially launched its first foldable smartphone in the market, dubbed Vivo X Fold. Now, the company is gearing up to launch its next-generation foldable smartphone.

While key details about the upcoming foldable smartphone from Vivo remain unknown, a new report from tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed details about the fingerprint sensor on the device.

As per the report, the smartphone will come with a dual-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the foldable display. This is impressive given that the competing products in the market feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Vivo is expected to launch two foldable smartphones in the near future. While one will be a direct successor of the Vivo X Fold smartphone launched earlier this year, the other phone will feature a vertical flip or clamshell foldable design.

The Vivo X Fold features an 8.03-inch E5 LTPO OLED 3.0 display with UTG that supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 2K resolution, and a 4:3.5 aspect ratio. The secondary screen has a 6.53-inch E5 OLED panel with support for Full HD+ screen resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, 100 percent DCI P3 color gamut, and a 21:9 aspect ratio.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a custom Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 internal storage. It features a 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 primary sensor, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel portrait lens, and a 5-megapixel periscopic telephoto lens. On the front side, there’s a 16-megapixel snapper on the outer and the inner display.

The device runs the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own custom user interface on top. It is powered by a 4,600mAh battery which supports 66W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

Vivo‘s latest foldable phone – the Vivo X Fold looks like a model that could square up with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in many respects. Vivo’s first foldable display smartphone was released barely a week back and a side-by-side image shows the seeming creaseless design of the Vivo flagship.

The Vivo X Fold made a glorious entry into the stage and comes kitted with several impressive features and components. Although its OEM claims that it is fully creaseless, the images show a crease but this was less prominent than that of the Galaxy Z Fold 3. There are still many of the finer details of the X Fold that are yet to be available, but the less prominent crease is a plus.

The crease in the Vivo X Fold could be overlooked except for eagle-eyed scrutiny. It is less noticeable but the images indicate that the crease is shallower than that of the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The other prominent foldable model is the Oppo Find N, which is said to have the least visible crease among the three models.

There are no global launch details of the Vivo X Fold at this time but it is being retailed in China for $1,415. The price is slightly less than that of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 at $1,499. It is noted that the Z Fold 3 has had an impressive run and we expect this to continue, at least outside China. However, the global version of the Vivo X Fold could provide decent competition for the Z Fold 3.

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

At first look, one can clearly say that the Vivo X Fold is inspired by the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. But Vivo’s foldable arrives with a better set of features, like dual ultra-sonic in-screen fingerprint sensors, an alert slider, and flagship-level cameras.

Though it is not water-resistant (IPX8) like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, it flaunts a vegan leather rear finish like the Huawei Mate X2 and its hinge is rated to last for 300,000 folds. It is also powered by a custom-made Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

Talking about screes, the primary internal foldable Samsung E5 AMOLED display measures 8.03-inch in size and has a 2K resolution, up to a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 4:3.5 aspect ratio. On the other hand, the 6.53-inch external Samsung E5 AMOLED display has a resolution of FHD+, up to a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 21:9 aspect ratio. Both the screens support HDR10+ standard and feature a punch-hole for a front-facing camera.

As far as cameras are concerned, there’s a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN5 primary sensor with OIS, a 12MP 2x telephoto shooter, an 8MP 5x periscope snapper with OIS, and a 48MP ultra-unit. These cameras are covered by Zeiss lens and T* coating. Finally, there are two 16MP front-facing cameras.

The device boots Android 12-based OriginOS Ocean. It is backed by a 4,600mAh battery with support for 66W fast wired charging, 50W fast wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging

The Vivo X Fold is priced at ¥8,999 and ¥9,999 for 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB memory configurations. It can be availed in either blue, black, or gray color options.

Vivo’s First Tablet – Vivo Pad

Just like the tablets from Xiaomi and Oppo, the Vivo Pad is built around an LCD panel and a Qualcomm chipset. It features an 11-inch screen with a 2.5K resolution and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The display supports Dolby Vision and Vivo Pen stylus input.

It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It runs OriginOS HD based on Android 12. It is backed by an 8,040mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging.

The tablet comes with a dual-camera system on the rear comprising of a 13MP primary sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide unit. There’s also an 8MP front-facing camera and Dolby Atmos-supported quad speakers.

Other features include an aluminum build, support for a keyboard accessory via a magnetic connector, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and USB 3.1 (Type-C). The product arrives in three colors, such as blue, black, and white.

The Vivo Pad is priced at ¥2,499 and ¥2,999 for 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB memory variants respectively.

Vivo’s First Phablet – Vivo X Note

The Vivo X Note is huge and has a good set of high-end features. However, it is not a replacement for the Samsung Galaxy Note series. Because it lacks support for a stylus.

The phablet sports a 7.0-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED display with a QHD+ resolution, up to a 120Hz refresh rate, and LTPO 3.0 technology. The screen has a 21:10 aspect ratio, a large ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and its peak brightness can reach up to 1500 nits.

The handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It also comes with a Vivo V1 chip for image processing. On the software front, it boots OriginOS Ocean based on Android 12.

For photography and videography, it uses a quad-camera system on the rear with a Zeiss lens and T* coating. The setup includes a 50MP Samsung ISOCCELL GN1 primary sensor with OIS, a 48MP ultrawide unit, a 12MP 2x telephoto shooter, and an 8MP periscope 5x camera with OIS. On the front, there’s a 16MP snapper.

Other features include an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, dual stereo speakers, IR blaster, vegan leather rear finish, 5,000mAh battery, 80W fast wired charging, 50W fast wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging.

The post All the Vivo launches from last week: Vivo X Fold, Vivo Pad, & Vivo X Note appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo officially entered the foldable phones market by launching the amazing Vivo X Fold. It is a stunning device coming with impressive hardware specifications and very advanced cameras. But are its specifications enough to beat each and every foldable phone in the market? There is no better way to understand it than by comparing it with the other top-tier foldable phones out there. That is the reason why we published a comparison between the specifications of the Vivo X Fold, the OPPO Find N, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3. We hope it will help you to decide which foldable is the best for your needs.

Vivo X Fold vs OPPO Find N vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

Design

The most interesting design and form factor are the ones of the OPPO Find N. Despite being a foldable phone, it is able to become extremely compact because it comes with smaller displays. Further, the 18:9 form factor for the external display makes it very beautiful. Last but not least, it has the best hinge ever seen on a foldable phone: a hinge that is able to hide the cease in the middle of the foldable panel like no other device does. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 becomes very interesting because it is the only waterproof foldable phone, thanks to the IPX8 certification.

Display

The Vivo X Fold has the widest internal display with a diagonal of 8.03 inches, while the OPPO Find N has the smallest one with 7.1 inches. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 sits in the middle with a 7.6-inch panel. In terms of image quality, these three displays are very similar. They all come with a 2K resolution, HDR certification, refresh rates up to 120 Hz, and very high brightness. When it comes to the external displays, the Vivo X Fold is more convincing on the paper, but the OPPO Find N has the most compact one with a diagonal of just 5.49 inches.

Specs & Software

The Vivo X Fold is the most advanced device of the trio when it comes to the hardware department, thanks to the presence of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both the OPPO Find N and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 are fueled by a weaker Snapdragon 888, but they still offer 12 GB of RAM. The Vivo X Fold is also the only one with Android 12 out of the box, but the OPPO Find N has more advanced features to take advantage of the foldable form factor.

Camera

If you are looking for the most advanced camera, then you should opt for the Vivo X Fold without thinking twice. It is equipped with a quad camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom, a 12 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide lens, all with Carl Zeiss optics. Right after, we got the OPPO Find N with a triple camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 13 MP telephoto camera, and a 16 MP ultrawide lens.

Battery

The Vivo X Fold is equipped with a bigger battery, but the OPPO Find N might last more in a lot of scenarios because of its smaller displays. The Vivo X Fold also comes with faster charging technology: 66W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

Price

You need about €1300/$1405 to purchase the Vivo X Fold in China, the OPPO Find N costs €1070/$1157, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 starts from €1650/$1784. If we consider the specs sheets, the Vivo X Fold is the best. But the OPPO Find N has a more interesting and useful form factor. Which one would you pick?

Vivo just held a launch conference in which it launched three new highly anticipated devices. One of the models includes the Vivo X Fold, which is the company’s first foldable smartphone that has apparently been in development for four years now. So let’s have a look.

Design & Display

The newly launched Vivo X Fold adopts an inward folding design. In other words, the device’s primary display is hidden when the smartphone is in its folded state. Although, users then have access to the smaller external display in this mode. 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 front of the device features a punch hole cutout along with curved edges. Interestingly, the device also features two ultrasonic fingerprint scanners as well as an alert slider on the side.

The brand has placed an emphasis on the hinge of its first foldable handset, which comes with an aerospace grade wing design. In the Rheinland folding test, the device was folded 300,000 times overall to check its durability. Furthermore, even if the user folds the device 80 times a day, the folding mechanism will still remain functional over the course of 10 years. Since it is the first model of its kind from the brand, it is not surprising that Vivo made no compromises on its build quality.

Talking about the display, the Vivo X Fold sports a large 8.03 inch E5 LTPO OLED 3.0 display with UTG that has a 120Hz refresh rate, 2K resolution, and a 4:3.5 aspect ratio. The screen also supports HDR10+ and comes with a 113 percent DCI P3 color gamut. On the other hand, the secondary screen is a 6.53 inch E5 OLED panel that has a Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, 100 percent DCI P3 color gamut, and 21:9 aspect ratio as well. Notably, both the external and internal display features a punch hole cutout. Notably, the smartphone’s display also received A+ rating from DisplayMate.

Specifications

Under the hood, the first foldable smartphone from the Chinese smartphone maker runs on a custom made Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SPU and the Adreno 730 for graphics. To put things simply, the custom SPU is basically to enhance the security and privacy of the smartphone on a chip level. Additionally, this flagship grade SoC is paired with UFS 3.1 internal storage and LPDDR5 RAM.

Storage configurations include 12GB of RAM that will be paired with either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. The Vivo X Fold will run on the Android 12 operating system with the company’s custom UI on top. The handset is powered by a large 4,600mAh battery pack that supports up to 66W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. The 66W fast charging can top up the device to full in just 37 minutes.

Camera

For photography, the device features a quad camera setup on the rear that includes Zeiss lens and T* coating. The primary camera is a Samsung GN5 50 megapixel sensor that has an f/1.75 aperture and OIS support, which is 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 finally, a 5 megapixel periscopic telephoto lens that offers up to 5x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom. On the front, the punch hole selfie camera on the outer and inner display is a 16 megapixel sensor.

Pricing, Availability, & Colors

The Vivo X Fold will be available in three different color options. This includes Blue, Black, and Gray color variants. The device is available in multiple configurations, so here are the prices:

• 12GB + 256GB – 8,999 Yuan (roughly 1,413 US Dollars)
• 12GB + 512GB – 9,999 Yuan (roughly 1,570 US Dollars)

Vivo X Fold

The X Fold is the first foldable from the Vivo brand, and its design shares resemblances with the more premium foldable offerings, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Huawei Mate X2. It is expected to sport an 8-inch 2K LTPO 3.0 inner folding OLED panel and a 6.53-inch Full HD+ outer display. Both the inner and outer displays will be equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate. 

To stand out amongst its competitors, the Vivo X Fold will be featuring an industry-leading quad-camera setup on the back in collaboration with Zeiss and its signature T* coating. The Vivo X Fold is also said to be the industry’s first foldable to support 50W wireless charging to juice its 4,600mAh battery.

Vivo X Note 

The X Note meanwhile will be Vivo’s answer for the “ultra-premium” crowd, basically, those who opt for the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. The phone comes in a familiar glass sandwich body, and features a gigantic QHD+ 7-inch display. Paired with a 5000mAh and support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, the phone is expected to last you through the entire day within half an hour’s charge.

The Vivo X Note is also expected to lead a mobile photography revolution because besides featuring all the software and hardware optimizations that came from its Zeiss collaboration so far, the company has developed its first in-house imaging chip, the Vivo V1, to push the boundaries of smartphone photography even further.

Vivo Pad

The Vivo Pad is the company’s first entry into the Android tablet market. The device is powered by the popular Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset to provide flagship levels of performance for your average tablet user. The Vivo Pad is also getting an 11-inch panel having a 2.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate to provide a smooth scrolling experience for its users.

vivo today announced that the company will be hosting its next product launch event in China on April 11, where it will be lifting the curtains on its first foldable phone called vivo X Fold. And ahead of that, the company’s product vice president has divulged some interesting bits concerning the development of the upcoming foldable.

With a social media post (via IT Home), the executive wrote that vivo has been working on the X Fold for four years, with dozens of plans being scrapped and remade until the perfect one was realized. He believes that the “screen” of the folding screen is the top priority. The screen experience cannot be sacrificed because of the folding form, which is why the crease had to go away.

“The inner screen must be large enough and good enough, and the look and feel should not be affected by the continuous deepening of the creases due to frequent opening and closing for a long time. The outer screen is also used a lot, and the size must be the mainstream size, and the effect must be flagship level.”

“The switching of internal and external screens cannot have problems such as frame control and color difference. This involves screen selection, adjustment, especially hinge technology, which is a very complex system engineering,” he added.

He also claimed that vivo is the pioneer of under-screen fingerprints so he couldn’t give the technology up with the foldable device, and worked hard to overcome the difficulties involved. The result is an industry-first dual under-screen fingerprint design, with sensors being present on both the cover and inner displays.

The vivo spring product launch event is set to supposedly be the most significant launches for the company this year and will see devices like the vivo X Note and the vivo Pad alongside the vivo X Note. The curtains may also be lifted on the vivo X80 series smartphones.

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.

Earlier today (14th March 2022), a mysterious foldable smartphone was spotted in China. This device could be the Vivo X Fold, which is the company’s first foldable smartphone that is highly anticipated in the market.

The image was shared on Weibo (Via ITHome) and showcased the smartphone from the front. While it is still unclear which model this foldable phone actually is, it is believe to be the Vivo X Fold. Looking at the image, we can see that it has a thick case, which is likely to prevent anyone from spotting its actual design. Although, the display is in full view and does not appear to have any form of crease on the front.

In a previous report, we had covered the schematics that were revealed of the Chinese brand’s foldable handset. It showed that its cover display will have a curved edge and a center aligned punch hole. The rear side of the device has a circular module placed inside a rectangle block.
