In 2018, the world's first folding screen mobile phone came out, knocking on the door of the folding screen 1.0 era. Since then, various manufacturers have successively launched relevant models, and the folding screen has gradually become the ultimate display of mobile phone manufacturers' research and development capabilities, product capabilities and supply chain capabilities. However, compared with ordinary smart phones, folding screens are more demanding on technology. To this day, folding screen mobile phones have been criticized the most hygienic, screen, battery life and other aspects of the problem, has not really been perfectly solved.
On April 11, 2022, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the vivo X series, vivo released the first folding screen vivo X Fold. When it first arrived, vivo directly announced the opening of the folding screen 2.0 era. Vivo X Fold is only vivo's first folding screen mobile phone, and there are not a few manufacturers on the market that have issued folding screen mobile phones, so why does vivo dare to say such a thing? Can vivo X Fold really lead a revolution?
Space-class floating wing hinge
The vivo X Fold uses a six-fold space-class floating wing hinge, which has been greatly optimized in strength and weight.
Vivo X Fold is also the world's first 300,000 TUV Rheinland folding worry-free certification, after 300,000 folds, the crease is still excellently controlled, even if it is folded 80 times a day, it can be used for about 10 years, and the durability is extremely high.
Screen crease control
Vivo X Fold has taken three measures to control screen creases. The first is the zirconium alloy floating plate design, when the screen is opened, the floating plate will slowly rise to "hold up" the middle screen, so that the screen is more flat; when closed, the floating plate falls, providing sufficient space for the screen bending, protecting the screen, the mobile phone is more durable, between a liter and a drop, greatly improving the crease.
Secondly, in terms of materials, the X Fold inner screen adopts a more tough UTG glass, which increases the outward tension of the ordinary folding screen by 1.3 times, which can greatly improve the compression resistance of the screen when folding under the premise of high light transmission performance, which can allow a smaller bending radius, ensure that the screen will not be easily damaged, and improve the durability.
In addition, reducing the bending radius is also a key innovation of X Fold, which has the industry's smallest bending radius of 2.3mm (left and right folding), so that the screen is bent less area, the whole machine fits tightly when closed, tightly sewn, and the crease is narrower and shallower when unfolded, effectively improving the utilization of screen space.
Dual screens inside and out
On the basis of ensuring durability, vivo X Fold further optimizes the screen. The vivo X Fold outer screen is equipped with a 6.53-inch, 2520*1080 resolution micro-curved screen, with an aspect ratio of 21:9 and a maximum support of 120Hz refresh rate.
The inner screen, vivo X Fold is equipped with an 8-inch, 4:3.55 golden ratio, and a large inner screen with a resolution of up to 2160*1916 of 2K+120Hz. The high light transmittance, strong pressure resistance, high durability and anti-reflection characteristics brought by the ultra-tough glass UTT and superconducting anti-reflection coating, combined with LTPO adaptive refresh technology, can intelligently adjust the refresh rate according to the scene, and the screen power consumption is reduced by 32.4%.
At the same time, the inner screen is also the world's first DisplayMate 19 screen certification to obtain A+ screen. It is also the first folding screen mobile phone equipped with 3D ultrasound internal and external dual screen fingerprints, and both internal and external dual screens support in-screen fingerprint unlocking.
Customized strong core, strong performance
Vivo X Fold is equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen1 octa-core custom flagship chip, using advanced 4nm process technology, Andu rabbit running score up to 1015397 points. At the same time, the chip has a built-in SPU security processing unit to provide hardware-level protection for privacy. With the overclocked version of UFS3.1, the enhanced version of LPDDR5 quad-channel and memory fusion 2.0 and the self-developed triple full-time domain performance engine, it significantly improves the fluency, stability and energy saving of the mobile phone, and further increases the fluency of product use.
In order to ensure the full play of the capabilities of this high-performance chip, vivo X Fold is equipped with a wide-area superconducting nano heat dissipation system, covering the screen, CPU, battery compartment and other major heat sources in an all-round way, with a heat dissipation area of up to 27217mm2, ensuring that the performance is not discounted.
Easy charging and long-lasting battery life
Vivo X Fold is equipped with a 4600mAh yuanhang large battery and a 66W dual battery flash charge, and the original is equipped with an 80W gallium nitride PD charger. Vivo X Fold is the industry's first folding mobile phone equipped with 50W wireless flash charge, while supporting 10W wireless reverse charging, set up 4 sets of independent protection circuits to ensure power safety. Full once, supports up to 20 hours of continuous calls.
Images, ingenuity
In terms of image ability, you can always trust vivo. While continuing to cooperate with ZEISS to obtain excellent optical performance, because of the unique mobile phone form of the folding screen, the external screen help shooting, waist flat framing, rear selfie, hover shooting and other new shooting methods, the mobile phone image has more creative space.
The vivo X Fold rear has four ZEISS cameras, namely a 50MP main camera, a 60x periscope ultra-telephoto, a 48MP 114° ultra-wide-angle main camera, and a 47mm focal length professional portrait lens. Professional ZEISS T* optical lenses and ZEISS T* professional coatings bring a pure world of light and shadow and a master-level professional image level.
High-end business experience
As a flagship model, vivo X Fold has comprehensively upgraded its security and privacy, mobile office and other aspects. In terms of privacy protection, vivo X Fold is the first in-depth mining and adaptation of snapdragon 8's SPU on the chip software side to achieve full-featured design. Combined with the excellent hardware-level protection capabilities of SPU, the security architecture of Thousand Mirrors is built on the bottom layer of the software, and nine major privacy products such as physical mute keys, atomic privacy systems, and Thousand Mirrors Trusted Engine are added to create an all-round privacy protection at the application level.
In terms of mobile office, vivo X Fold has set up functions such as "multi-angle hovering", "multi-task processing", "stock trading artifact" and "one-stop office solution" for specific scenarios of business offices. Among them, it supports about 60-120 degree hover, which can realize hover video, hover reading/input, etc., and greatly improve the use experience in video conferences and other scenarios. Multitasking enables collaboration between applications, and quantum suites enable the transmission and editing of documents across devices, further improving office efficiency.
The true flagship within 10,000 yuan
Vivo X Fold provides two colors of clear mountain blue and sycamore gray, providing 12GB +256GB and 12GB+512GB two configurations to choose from, the price is 8999 yuan and 9999 yuan respectively, pre-sale on April 11, officially launched on April 22.
Vivo X Fold can be called the "set of masters" of technology and the "iterator" of the experience, which ensures durability, screen experience, battery life, etc. at the same time, provides the highest level of configuration and for the internal and external screen switching and more use scenarios of special experience optimization, from the product experience point of view, this is indeed a subversion of the folding screen experience of the mobile phone. After four years of precipitation, vivo X Fold is like its internal code name "Butterfly", breaking out of the cocoon, in the face of the folding screen mobile phone continuously jumping market, vivo X Fold's market performance is worth looking forward to.
