Appearance of Vivo X Fold Unveiled, Release Set for April 11

On Tuesday, Chinese electronics firm Vivo unveiled a video showing the overall design of the X Fold, its first foldable smartphone, confirming that the model will be released on April 11.

On Monday, Huang Tao, Vivo’s vice president of products, revealed that the company has been working on the X Fold for four years, with dozens of plans being scrapped and remade until the perfect one was realized.

According to the video, the Vivo X Fold adopts a big screen on the inside, just like the Oppo Find N. The back of the machine will be made of plain leather with a light blue color.

The official also displayed a close-up of the Vivo X Fold’s rear camera module, including a square periscope lens backed by Zeiss, a well-known camera manufacturing brand.

Incorporating a hinge made of materials used for aerospace engineering, Vivo X Fold’s screen can reportedly withstand 300,000 bends.

According to information published by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Vivo X Fold adopts a 6.53-inch OLED curved screen and an 8-inch 2K E5 LTPO UTG inner screen. Its 4600 mAh battery supports 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. The Vivo X Fold is tipped to feature a quad rear camera setup including a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens, an 8-megapixel periscope lens with 5x zoom, and a 12-megapixel portrait lens.
