Improvements, but no revolution
The “+” in the name of this phone should be the best clue we need to realize that it is basically the same foldable, but with hardware improvements. Few surprises then, but at least the small differences make this model much more attractive on the current market.
The big difference is inside, using a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, the most powerful that Qualcomm currently offers for the Android market. So it should be up there with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, if Vivo manages good cooling and resource management of course.
The rest of the hardware is also up to par and have all been upgradedlike the new 4,730 mAh battery that comes with no less than 80W fast charging, one of the aspects in which brands like Vivo can easily surpass Samsung.
For the rest, do not expect more news. The screens remain the same, with an internal 8.03-inch flip-out panel capable of up to 120Hz refresh rate and with UTG protection. A striking aspect of Vivo’s foldables is that they don’t sacrifice the under-screen fingerprint reader, and in fact, we have two sensors, one on each screen instead of depending on a lateral as in the Samsung. The exterior screen, meanwhile, measures 6.53 inches and has similar specs to the interior.
The cameras have not changed either, taking advantage of the alliance with Zeiss to mount a 50 Mpx main sensor with Zeiss T* coating reduces glare and improves visible light transition. The periscope camera also stands out for its 5x optical and 60x digital zoom, with optical image stabilization.
To take advantage of the greater space available on the internal screen, Vivo has implemented software capable of adapting applications, including split-screen display which allows you to open two windows at the same time, which at their tower can have two applications open at the same time. at the same time. In total, this means have four applications at the same time and up to 12 background windows, which should greatly improve multitasking. It has also developed a “Speaker Mode”, which splits the screen in two: the lower part can display notes and the upper part a PowerPoint presentation, allowing the image to be simply displayed on an external screen during a presentation. public.
Unfortunately, the Vivo X Fold+ will only be available in the Chinese market, so we won’t have many options to get it in Europe unless the company changes its mind in the future. It will cost 9,999 yuan, or around 1,450 dollars.
