Vivo released the Vivo X Fold+ in September 2022. So far, Vivo has launched only horizontally folding phones, but it still lacks a flipable phone in its foldable lineup.
According to the latest news from Digital Chat Station, Vivo may launch its first flip phone. This morning, the blogger revealed 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 built on a 4nm process and has a Cortex-X2 super core.
It is worth mentioning that Vivo’s latest foldable phone also features 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 manufactured using TSMC’s 4nm 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 chipset to be released soon, maybe in the next two months.
