Vivo introduced two new foldable phones at an event in China today. Vivo X Fold 2 and X Flip are new models added to the company’s foldable phone range. Vivo X Fold 2 brings great innovations to the X Fold, which was released last year. The X Fold 2 will be the first foldable phone to use Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
What does Vivo X Fold 2 promise?
The new foldable model will compete with horizontally foldable phones on the market such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Oppo Find N2. The X Fold 2 features a 6.56-inch external display with a resolution of 2,520 x 1,080 pixels and an 8.03-inch internal display with a resolution of 2,160 x 1,916 pixels.
Both displays have an AMOLED panel that supports 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. There is also a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner embedded in the screen. The phone also has a Flex Mode that allows users to make hands-free calls, play videos and take photos.
On the back of the X Fold 2, there is a circular camera setup with a 50 Megapixel OIS supported main sensor, 12 Megapixel ultra-wide and 12 Megapixel telephoto lens. In addition, a selfie camera with a resolution of 16 Megapixels appears on both interior and exterior screens.
The X Fold 2 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB / 512 GB storage options. The foldable phone is powered by a 4800mAh battery that supports 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.
Let’s mention that it comes out of the box with Android 13-based OriginOS 3. The price of Vivo X Fold 2 was determined as 8,999 RMB ($ 1307). It’s up for pre-order in China and will be available from April 28.
