After launching a foldable in the first half of this year, lo and behold, Vivo has just made its new X Fold+ model official.
The Chinese brand seems to have embraced the folding smartphone segment and has just launched a new device in the Chinese market that brings with it some new features compared to the previous model.
Vivo X Fold+: Same design but slightly different specs
Vivo has just officially presented its new folding smartphone X Fold+. The device arrives with the same design as its predecessor, but at the hardware level it brings with it some interesting new features.
The first change is found in the processor. The new X Fold+ has the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip under the hood; this is the main upgrade, as it maintains the LPDDR5 RAM of up to 12 GB and the UFS 3.1 storage of up to 512 GB of its predecessor.
The external screen is 6.53 inches with Full HD+ resolution, while the internal screen is 8.03 inches with 2K resolution. Both panels are AMOLED and provide a 120Hz refresh rate.
It should be noted that the new X Fold+ device can be folded at different angles, including 30, 90 and 120 degrees, the brand notes.
Optically, the Vivo X Fold+ inherits exactly the same features as its predecessor: the quad rear camera setup features a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens, and an eight-megapixel periscope sensor.
Vivo X Fold+ charging and prices
Otherwise, the new foldable Vivo is powered by a 4,730mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. It even runs the OriginOS interface, based on the Android 12 operating system.
As we mentioned, the new Vivo X Fold+ is already available in the Chinese market, and the variant with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage costs 9,999 yuan, that is, about 1,450 euros, while the version with 12 GB RAM and 512 GB of storage is priced at 10,999 yuan, approximately 1,590 euros.
For now, the brand has not provided information on the availability of the device in the global market.
