VIVO X Fold Specs
VIVO launched the first-gen VIVO X Fold folding screen smartphone in April this year. The handset came with internal and external screens that support 120Hz refresh rate and use E5 screens. Inside, the phone hosts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagship chip. One of the distinguishing factors was the aerospace-grade floating wing hinge. On both screens, it uses screen fingerprint recognition scanners. And the lower version was priced at 8999 yuan ($1314).
As for the displays themselves, the internal screen of the VIVO X Fold is 8.03 inches. It’s a super-sensing giant folding screen with an E5 luminous material, Samsung’s diamond arrangement, 2K+ resolution, and 120Hz refresh rate support. Also, it has a superconducting anti-reflective coating and supports a self-developed LTPO-based adaptive refresh rate debugging.
As said, this phone comes with two 120Hz E5 screens. This is the world’s first smartphone with such displays. Also, it has a large sound cavity, a three-dimensional symmetrical dual-raiser, and an independent Hi-Fi chip.
As you can see, the first foldable smartphone of VIVO is a true flagship with many outstanding features. So it would be slightly difficult to bring many upgrades.
