Vivo announced the Vivo X Fold+ in September 2022 Currently, the company has released only horizontally foldable phones. However, a flippable phone is still missing from Vivo’s foldable phone category.
According to the latest information from the Digital Chat Station, the company might release its first flippable phone. This morning, the blogger stated that the Vivo X Flip is coming soon, hinting that the company is working on it.
The blogger also mentioned that the device will come with SM8475 chipset, which is the model name of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The chipset is based on a 4nm manufacturing process and features Cortex-X2 super cores with higher frequencies and lower power consumption.
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 new 4nm manufacturing process.
The main competitors of this foldable smartphone will be Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series, Huawei’s P50 Pocket, 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 Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 to be released soon, maybe in the next two months.
