Recently, a research institute released a 2021 folding screen market report, which shows that Samsung is currently in a monopoly position accounting for about 87% of the overall market share. Therefore, the industry predicts that the folding screen market will usher in a big outbreak in 2022, and there will be more and more players. This is not the news about the vivo folding screen on March 7, and it has become the focus of everyone's hot discussion.
According to industry information, vivo's first folding screen is named vivo X Fold, the outer screen adopts the center punching design, and it is a curved screen, and the screen quality is very good. The back adopts a vivo X70 Pro+ design, but the camera area is made round. It should be noted that the vivo X Fold is a full-focal length quad camera, in other words, the main camera, ultra-wide angle (macro), periscope telephoto and professional portrait lenses are not many. This is also the standard of vivo flagship in the past two years, when other brands are driving backwards on the image, only vivo is still insisting on doing full-focal length image flagship.
It should be noted that vivo's first folding screen is different from the conventional folding screen, that is, the conventional folding screen adopts the way of side fingerprint recognition. Vivo X Fold does not have a side fingerprint, it is understood that the use of ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint recognition, but also the industry's first folding screen mobile phone using this fingerprint recognition. What is curious now is whether this ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint recognition is bifacial, that is, it can be used whether it is folded or opened. Or vivo has other better solutions, otherwise how can the internal and external screen linkage be used dually?
In addition to full-focal length imaging and ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint recognition, other aspects of the vivo X Fold have also been piled to the top. For example: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen 1 platform, 8.01 inch LTPO2.0 refresh rate adaptive screen, 80W wired fast charging and so on.
In addition, what we need to expect is that vivo X Fold can play something different in interaction, because the selling point of the folding screen is not only on the folding screen, but also on the interaction and productivity promotion tools.
