The mobile industry remains focused on the world of folding and has brought us more than interesting proposals from various firms. Vivo already had its first foldable, the Vivo X Fold which it launched last year. But from today he already has a successor, since the official presentation took place where not one arrives, but two folding mobiles.
One of them is the Vivo X-Flip, the terminal that leaked weeks ago and has finally seen the light of day. This is the Chinese brand’s first foldable case type mobile, in the style of what is seen in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. Let’s see the features, price and availability of Vivo’s new phone.

Vivo’s foldable shell lacks nothing
To begin with, the two AMOLED panels that equip this Vivo X Flip stand out. The exterior, which can be seen with the mobile folded up, is 3 inches with a resolution of 682 x 422 pixels. When we unfold it we see its internal screen that reaches 6.74 inches, a panel that repeats the technology but with FullHD + resolution.
On the other hand, Vivo has not implemented the latest Qualcomm processor but has decided to use the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. This does not mean that it is not powerful since this solution from the American manufacturer continues to perform at a good level. He will come with 12 GB of RAM with LPDDR5 technologyso that bodes well for good multitasking.
When it comes to storage, the Vivo X Flip comes in two flavors of 256 or 512 GB, generous amounts of internal memory to store all kinds of files. In addition, they are UFS 3.1 type which offers good speed in data transmission.
A simple camera module
In the photographic field, this Vivo X Flip does not look bad on paper, but we do not have various sensors that allow this foldable to be versatile. The back contains the camera module in circular format, which houses two sensors: a main 50 megapixel IMX 866V and an IMX 633 type wide-angle secondary, both from Sony.
The battery that will power the foldable is a 4400mAh battery, depending on the size of the terminal. If during long days you do not reach the end of the day, you can receive additional energy with the 44 watt fast charge. No news on the software front, Android 13 and OriginOS, the Vivo layer.
The rest of the technical sheet does not leave us with a bad taste in the mouth, since it supports WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC. At the bottom there is the USB type C charging port, already common to all models. For biometric authentication, it has a side fingerprint sensornot to mention reverse charging to power the devices that come with it.
Vivo X Flip versions and prices
This terminal has become official in the country of origin of the company, so we do not know if it will reach European lands or our country. The Vivo X Flip is released in three colours: purple, gold and black. As we mentioned, it comes in two different capacity versions, with prices as follows:
- Vivo X Flip 12/256GB: 8,999 yuan (about 1,193 dollars)
- Vivo X Flip 12/512GB: 9,999 yuan (about 1,326 dollars)
