The vivo X Fold + is official with a brand new color and a brand new chipset – the phone uses Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which (according to official Qualcomm numbers) promises a 30% reduction in power consumption along with an increase 10% performance.
The vivo X Fold + updates to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
In addition to the chipset, the battery also received an update. The plus model boasts a capacity of 4,730 mAh (compared to 4,600 mAh). In combination with the more efficient chipset, the new foldable flagship is expected to last nearly 2 hours longer when viewing videos.
Bigger battery and faster wired charging
Wired charging has been increased to 80W (up to 66W), so now 70% charge is achieved in 18 minutes, a full charge takes 35 minutes. The original model also came with an 80W charger, but couldn’t take full advantage of it (it was only 2 minutes slower at 100%, however, not a huge waste). Additionally, wireless charging remains at 50W.
Like the original, the X Fold 8+ has an 8 “(4: 3.55) foldable display with Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) and a 1-120Hz LTPO panel. Both it and the 6 cover display, 53 “(21: 9) are equipped with ultrasonic fingerprint readers.
The zipper can stay open at multiple angles, convenient for multimedia and video calls. vivo has optimized the speakers to make sure speech comes out loud and clear in this setup.
The rear camera setup is as before with a 50MP main module (1 / 1.57 “GN5 sensor, 1.0 µm, f / 1.75 OIS), 48MP ultra wide angle (114 °) and two telephoto lens modules: a 12 MP camera with a 47 mm lens for portraits and an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x magnification (and digital zoom up to 60x) and OIS.
Same camera setup as before
The new color is called Huaxia Red and is covered in eco-leather like the two original colors (also available on X Fold +, if you like them more than red). Of course, vivo has prepared a matching faux leather protective case to go with the phone as well, but it’s normally a separate purchase (some will get it as a pre-order bonus, more on that in a second).
The vivo X Fold + is available for pre-order in China starting today and will go on sale on the 29th. The 12/256 GB base model is priced at CNY 10,000 ($ 1,400 / € 1,450 / ₹ 114,000), the upgrade 12/512 GB costs CNY 11,000. For comparison, the original X Fold (12/256 GB) launched at CNY 9,000.
