The X Flip is vivo’s first clamshell foldable phone and it brings a spacious 3-inch AMOLED cover display that can be used for just about everything from texting to maps navigation and using social media apps. vivo is actively working with app developers to optimize their apps for the cover display so that users can complete most tasks without opening the internal screen.
The main screen is a 6.74-inch LTPO AMOLED
with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also features a waterdrop hinge
mechanism which should deal with the infamous crease seen on most folding
screens. X Flip brings a 32MP front facing cam and a side mounted fingerprint
scanner.
There’s a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset at
the helm aided by 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. The camera department
features the same 50MP Sony IMX866V sensor with OIS as on the X Fold2 alongside
a 12MP ultrawide module. You can prop the phone flat on a table and adjust the
hinge to your desired position for hands-free selfies. You can also use the
main 50MP camera for even better details. There’s a 4,400 mAh battery with 44W
fast charging here and Origin OS3 based on Android 13 on the software side.
vivo X Flip starts at CNY 5,999 (US$ 872) for
the 12/256GB trim and goes up to CNY 6,699 (US$ 973) for the 12/512 GB model.
