Vivo has introduced the Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro foldable smartphones in China this year. Both models are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 8 Gen 3 chipsets, respectively. There have been whispers about the forthcoming Vivo X Fold 4, with information trickling out gradually. A recent leak from the trusted source Digital Chat Station has disclosed several important aspects regarding the X Fold 4, including when it might launch.
Vivo X Fold 4 Key Specs (Rumored)
As per DCS, the engineering prototype of the Vivo X Fold 4 focuses on being extremely lightweight and slim, aiming to redefine foldable phone aesthetics. Even with its thin design, it boasts a robust battery with a capacity of approximately 6,000mAh and offers wireless charging. In terms of durability, the device is said to have an IPX8 rating for water resistance, according to the tipster.
Features and Build
Similar to the X Fold 3 Pro, the Vivo X Fold 4 comes with dual ultrasonic fingerprint sensors—one for the external display and the other for the internal foldable screen. The camera system is also impressive, featuring a centrally located large circular module that accommodates three 50-megapixel sensors. These include a standard sensor, a 3x periscope telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide lens, allowing for diverse photography options. Additionally, the device features a pressure-sensitive three-stage button, a first for Vivo’s lineup.
Expected Launch Date (Rumored)
Regarding the launch, the leak indicates that there will be a single version of the device. While Vivo released both the X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro this year, it appears they may only unveil one foldable model, the X Fold 4, which will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite next year.
Now, concerning the launch timeline, earlier leaks suggested that it would be introduced in the first quarter of 2025. Nevertheless, the most recent update from DCS indicates that the launch of the X Fold 4 has been postponed. Therefore, it might officially arrive in the second quarter of 2025.
