Vivo introduced the Vivo X Fold 3 and its Pro variant with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 8 Gen 3 processors in China earlier this year. Whispers from the rumour mill have been dropping breadcrumbs about the anticipated Vivo X Fold4. Notably, Digital Chat Station, a reputable leaker, has now spilt the beans on some crucial specifications and the expected release window for the X Fold 4.
Specs:
DCS highlights that the Vivo X Fold4 engineering prototype is designed to be exceptionally light and slim, potentially setting a new benchmark for foldable phones. Despite its slender build, it boasts a hefty 6,000mAh battery and the convenience of wireless charging. The tipster also notes its resilience, with an IPX8 rating that promises protection against water submersion.
Echoing the design of its predecessor, the X Fold4 sports dual ultrasonic fingerprint sensors for both external and internal use. Its camera array is housed in a prominent central circle, comprising three different 50-megapixel lenses: a primary, a 3x periscope zoom, and an ultra-wide, promising a rich photographic experience. Additionally, it introduces Vivo’s inaugural pressure-sensitive three-stage button, adding a new dimension to smartphone interaction.
Launch timeline:
The latest leak implies that Vivo’s strategy is shifting to a single-model release for its next foldable, with the X Fold4 expected to be the sole device, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Regarding its launch, while earlier rumours pointed towards a first-quarter 2025 debut, DCS’s recent information indicates a delay, suggesting a potential unveiling during the second quarter of 2025.
