vivo fans eagerly awaiting the next iteration of the company’s foldable smartphones might have to exercise some patience. According to the prolific Chinese leakster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the vivo X Fold4 is reportedly delayed. Unlike previous releases, vivo seems to be focusing on just one device this time around, suggesting we won’t see a standard and Pro model lineup like in 2024.
A Later Launch for the vivo X Fold4
The vivo X Fold4 is expected to launch later in the year compared to its predecessor, the X Fold3. Despite the delay, vivo appears committed to refining its foldables with a focus on delivering even thinner and lighter designs.
Here’s a glimpse of what we can expect from the vivo X Fold4 based on leaks:
- Battery and Charging: A robust 6,000 mAh battery with wireless charging support.
- Biometric Security: Dual ultrasonic fingerprint sensors embedded in both screens.
- Durability: IPX8 water resistance for added protection.
- Camera Innovation: A three-stage camera button complements the advanced camera setup.
The rear camera array will feature a centrally positioned round island housing:
- A 50 MP main camera.
- A 50 MP ultrawide camera.
- A 50 MP 3x zoom periscope telephoto macro camera.
Digital Chat Station emphasizes vivo’s dedication to “extreme thinness” for the X Fold4, suggesting it will be one of the sleekest foldables on the market. While we may have to wait longer for its official debut, these refinements could make the delay worthwhile.
Pokdepinion: Quite curious to see how thin it can get but if it ends up being the thinnest one around, it might change a lot of things for foldables from next year onwards.
