The images of Vivo X Fold, the first composition of the Chinese brand, came to light before the official release expected this week.

Samsung largely dominates the folding mobile phone segment and it is natural that other manufacturers will follow. The pictures we are talking about confirm this book type design which has become mostly and the aspect ratio and size very similar to that offered by the current Galaxy Fold3, the best – selling folding market.

The main screen is sized 8 inches after a layout with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a panel that will be the first to be equipped with LTPO 3.0 technology. The external screen offers a 6.53-inch diagonal, with native FHD + resolution, which also supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

We see some changes in front of the Galaxy Fold3 in the hinge, in the front camera or in the back. If Samsung places it under the screen, Vivo will use the more traditional “hole” on the right side of the internal screen. The main screen is also different, with a large rectangular module with four sensors, a 50MP main, a 48MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP “portrait” camera and a 5MP periscope zoom.

The terminal will use Qualcomm’s most powerful SoC, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, as the main engine, and will be supplemented with up to 12 GB LPDDR5 and 512 GB UFS 5.1 for storage. According to the score obtained during the passage of Geeekbench, a great performance is expected.

There is talk of a 4,600 mAh battery with 66 watts fast wired and 50 watts wireless charging. It will have support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC short-range contact technology and, of course, 5G broadband networks.

This is not good news for those of us who hope that these large folding cars will reduce the selling price and allow them to reach the general public. It is said that 11 999 RMB, on the stock exchange about $ 1,900 which is the price line of Samsung Galaxy Fold3. Vivo is expected to unveil it this week with the X Note phablet and Vivo Pad tablet.
