Two days ago vivo announced its new smartphone
subbrand iQOO. While we still wonder what the correct pronunciation is, the
company has no time to lose and is already pitching its phone to partners.
According to images from the Chinese social network Weibo, it will be a
foldable device.
The renders are pretty self-explanatory - the tall
phone will transform into a bigger tablet-like device. Unlike the expected
fold-in design as some manufacturers, it will fold out, keeping the screens on
the outside.
There isn’t any other info available, but according
to the tipster, the price could be well above CNY 7,000, which is over US$ 1000.
The images are just renders with no buttons or ports, so it will either adopt
the APEX 2019 key-less approach or is just a very early render that is yet to
be finalized.
