Vivo released the vivo X Fold+ in September 2022. Currently, the company has only released horizontal foldable phones. However, Vivo is still missing a flipable phone in its foldable phone category.
According to the latest news from Digital Chat Station, the company may release its first flip phone. This morning, the blogger said that the Vivo X Flip is coming soon, hinting that the company is working on the phone.
The blogger also mentioned that the device will come with the SM8475 chipset, which is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The chipset is based on a 4nm manufacturing process and has a Cortex-X2 super core.
It’s worth mentioning that Vivo’s latest foldable phone also comes with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. However, Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which features a new core architecture and is based on TSMC’s 4nm manufacturing process.
The main competitors of this foldable smartphone will be the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series, the Huawei P50 Pocket, the Motorola Razr, and many other foldable phones. The company will need to innovate a bit to dominate this segment.
We expect the Vivo X Flip with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 to be released soon, maybe in the next two months.
