Vivo is gearing up to release its latest foldable phones, the X Fold 2 and the X Flip clamshell. The latter has been the subject of rumors for several months, and recently, the trusted tipster Digital Chat Station shared what appear to be official marketing images of the device.
The X Flip features a horizontal hinge and a circular camera island with the Zeiss logo. The front cover of the phone is occupied by a landscape display that takes up over half of its real estate. This secondary screen will likely be used to display notifications or allow users to take selfies using the primary camera.
The circular camera island on the back of the phone will likely house two cameras. The purple color of the device matches the popular options on the Samsung Z Flip lineup and the Oppo Find N2 Flip. There is also a visible diamond pattern on the island, which adds to its overall aesthetic appeal.
While the images do not provide many details about the device, previous listings, and benchmarks suggest that the panel inside the X Flip will have a 1080p resolution. The device will be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with 12 GB of RAM, which should make it a powerful device, though it may not have the latest and greatest hardware.
It is currently unclear whether the hinge on the X Flip folds flat or has a slight gap. Nevertheless, the device’s unique design and features will likely attract consumers looking for a foldable phone with a different form factor.
Overall, the X Flip is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the foldable phone market. With its horizontal hinge, circular camera island, and landscape display, it is sure to turn heads when it is officially released.
