The X Fold, Vivo's first folding phone, has been announced. With a large 8.03-inch folding screen on the inside for tablet-style use and a more traditional phone-sized screen on the outside — in this case, 6.53 inches — the X Fold takes a similar approach to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series and its competitors.

Vivo's folding display, like Samsung's, incorporates a layer of Schott's Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG), which should improve durability. According to GSMArena, the phone's hinge allows it to fold flat or open at angles ranging from 60 to 120 degrees. According to Android Authority, Vivo claims that the phone's screen can withstand 300,000 folds, which is a significant boost over Samsung's estimate of 200,000 folds for its most current series of foldable.

Aside from its folding ability, the Vivo X Fold has top specifications. It boasts a 4,600mAh battery and is powered by Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU. It can be charged wirelessly at 50W or with a cable at 66W. Both of its panels contain ultrasonic fingerprint scanners and can handle up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

According to Android Authority, the phone has four cameras on the back: a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide, a 12-megapixel 2x telephoto, and an 8-megapixel 5x periscope. Both the inner and exterior displays include hole-punch selfie cameras with a 16-megapixel resolution.
Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme are all part of the BBK supply chain empire, as is megapixeVivo. Last year, Oppo debuted the Find N, its first folding phone, which was an amazing product with slightly smaller displays than the Vivo X Fold. For the time being, both of these gadgets are only available in China.

The 12GB RAM, 256GB storage option of the Vivo X Fold will cost $8,999 (about $1,413). A 512GB storage model will be available for $9,999 (about $1,570).
