Today, vivo officially announced that it will officially hold a new product launch conference on September 26, when it will bring the vivo X Fold+ folding screen mobile phone known as the strongest domestic folding screen. The +’ sign means that the strong will evolve in a stronger way.”
Before, this model has appeared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to expose the “ID photo”, and later the vice president of vivo also confirmed that this new machine will be launched.
Judging from the preview photos, the appearance is basically the same as the previous generation vivo X Fold, with blue and red colors, and chooses to co-brand with Zeiss on the imaging system.
According to the news, the vivo X Fold+ will continue the design of the previous generation, but will use the new Snapdragon 8+ processor. At the same time, it is equipped with an 8.03-inch inner screen and a 6.53-inch outer screen, both of which are 2K+120Hz LTPO screens, and a front-facing 16-megapixel camera.
The rear 50-megapixel main camera lens + 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens + 12-megapixel 2x telephoto lens + 8-megapixel periscope telephoto lens form a quad-camera, built-in 4700mAh battery, support 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging Charge.
This time, vivo X Fold+ also adopts an innovative solution of aerospace-grade floating wing worry-free hinge, called aerospace-grade floating wing hinge.
The hinge uses six-layer aerospace-grade materials such as liquid metal zirconium alloy, F53 aviation high-strength steel, and carbon fiber board, which can make the hinge better flat, light in weight, and more resistant to external shocks.
At the same time, it has passed the folding test of 300,000 times of Rheinland certification to overcome the durability of the folding screen. It supports the free hover function and supports hovering at angles of 30 degrees, 90 degrees, and 120 degrees.
vivo X Fold+ will also use the current advanced ultrasonic fingerprint recognition solution. It is worth mentioning that both screens will support fingerprint recognition.
Competing Snapdragon 8+ folding screens such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 at the same level use a side fingerprint solution, which is combined with the power button, and the overall experience is not as good as under-screen fingerprint recognition.
Moreover, the recognition area of ultrasonic fingerprints is larger than that of optical fingerprints, and the recognition area is 11.1 times that of traditional fingerprint recognition. Moreover, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition can be easily unlocked even when the screen has water or the finger has water, which is no slower than optical fingerprints.
It is reported that this time vivo will equip the phone with 80W dual C-port GaN flash charger as standard, and the addition of 30± dual batteries also makes the power supply of the whole phone very good. In the actual test, it is equipped with Snapdragon. The battery life of the 8+ is much higher than that of the Snapdragon 8.
vivo X Fold+ also has a new version of red plain leather, which is essentially a small upgrade. It is the best Snapdragon 8+ folding screen for stacking, and is positioned as a “million dollar machine”.
As the previous generation of vivo X Fold folding screen mobile phone, the starting price is 8999 yuan, equipped with Snapdragon 8 processor, and also has dual-screen fingerprint recognition.
However, from the perspective of hardware stacking, the iterative vivo X Fold+ can be said to exist at the ceiling level in the current folding screen mobile phone. This comprehensive upgrade is expected to greatly increase the starting price of this model. But for users who like folding screens, such a comprehensive model is really worth a try.
