Vivo launches multiple new products: X Fold folding screen leads the large-screen flagship, starting at 5999 yuan

On April 11, 2022, Beijing time, vivo held a new product launch conference, bringing vivo's world-first folding screen flagship mobile phone X Fold, the new flagship large-screen mobile phone X Note, and vivo's first smart tablet vivo Pad. Previously, several products had relevant news released. The vivo Pad expanded the overall ecosystem of vivo, the vivo X Fold folding screen product can demonstrate its technical strength, and the vivo X Note, as the most powerful successor after NEX, has filled the gap in vivo's top flagship market in the past two years.

In terms of design, the ID design team of vivo X Fold uses square basic elements to build a balanced visual tone in a horizontal extension way, finds a balanced space ratio in the square and circle, and leaves a lot of white space for the right design in a stepped distribution, bringing a more layered sense of space. The full-color middle frame of vivo X Fold uses metal sandblasting technology to achieve a frosted effect, which brings a softer and more comfortable touch and is not easy to leave fingerprints. In terms of color matching, vivo X Fold has two colors: Qingshan Blue and Wutong Gray.

In terms of structure, the vivo X Fold uses six aviation materials, including liquid metal zirconium alloy, F53 aviation high-strength steel, and hand-torn steel sheets, in the 174 parts of the hinge. According to Rheinland testing, the teardrop-shaped hinge structure of the vivo X Fold still has excellent crease control after 300,000 folds. Even if it is folded 80 times a day, it can be used for about 10 years, which is enough for ordinary consumers to use within the replacement cycle.

In terms of the screen, the inner screen of the vivo X Fold uses UTG ultra-tough glass with a unique staggered structure, which can greatly improve the pressure resistance of the screen when folded under the premise of high light transmittance, thereby allowing a smaller bending radius and improving the durability of the screen. The common water drop hinge bending radius in the industry is 3mm, while the vivo X Fold has the industry's smallest bending radius of 2.3mm (left and right fold). A smaller bending radius means that the screen has less bending area, and the whole machine fits tightly and seamlessly when closed. When unfolded, the crease is narrower and shallower, effectively improving the utilization of the screen space. (The inner and outer screens and the lens cover glass solutions are all from Schott of Germany)

In terms of internal screen specifications, the vivo X Fold is equipped with an 8-inch, 4:3.55 aspect ratio, and a resolution of 2160*1916 ultra-large internal screen, which is one of the largest internal screen sizes in the industry. As for the external screen, the vivo X Fold has a 6.53-inch, 2520*1080 resolution external screen with an aspect ratio of 21:9. The external screen is closer to the user's normal usage habits. At the same time, the slightly curved shape not only brings a rounded and comfortable opening and closing feel, but also provides more space for the lower hinge, further improving the efficiency of space use.  

In terms of performance, both the inner and outer screens of vivo X Fold support a high refresh rate of 120Hz, and the inner screen also supports LTPO adaptive refresh. It has E5 luminous material, Samsung diamond arrangement, full-scene HDR color, color accuracy and color deviation fine adjustment, achieving the world's first 19 Display Mate performance records and getting the overall A+ certification. At the same time, vivo X Fold is also the first in the world to be equipped with a new generation of fingerprint technology on both the inner and outer screens - "3D ultrasonic dual-screen fingerprint", which has stronger anti-environmental interference ability, faster unlocking speed and higher security.

In terms of configuration, the vivo X Fold is equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SPU customized flagship chip, using 4nm MEP process technology. The Kryo 780 CPU is built based on the public version of the Cortex core of the ARMv9 instruction set, integrating the Adreno730 GPU and the Snapdragon X65 5G baseband. SPU (Secure Processing Unit) is a built-in security processing unit in Qualcomm's new generation of Snapdragon 8 flagship chip series, which can also further enhance security. In addition, the vivo X Fold is also equipped with an overclocked version of UFS3.1 + enhanced version of LPDDR5, which can meet the needs of consumers in most scenarios. The vivo X Fold is equipped with a self-developed full-time domain energy-saving engine, integrating network optimization maps, LTPO and a variety of software and hardware technologies, reducing global power consumption by 7% without affecting the experience.

In terms of battery life, the vivo X Fold has a 4600mAh (typical value) large battery in its thin body, which consists of two independent batteries of the 4.48V-3C system connected in series. The 4.48V system has a higher energy density, which allows for a larger battery capacity in a smaller volume. According to the official introduction, after a full charge, the phone can make calls for 20.55 hours, hold a video conference for 12 hours, or play large-scale games for 8 hours.

In terms of charging configuration, the vivo X Fold is equipped with 66W single IC series dual battery charging technology, which can charge to 24% in 5 minutes and fully charged in 40 minutes. It also launched 50W wireless flash charging for the first time, which can charge 10% in 5 minutes and 100% in 53 minutes. The vivo X Fold also has 10W wireless reverse charging that can charge other devices.
