© Powered by Android Headlines Image 1 Vivo X Fold 2Vivo has announced the second-generation Vivo X Fold 2 foldable smartphone in the form of a book. This is technically the company's third book-shaped foldable smartphone, but the Vivo X Fold+ was more or less a mid-range device.
In any case, Vivo X Fold 2 has a number of improvements over its predecessor, and one of the main ones is its weight. This thing is much lighter than the Vivo X Fold 2. That device weighed 311 grams, and this one weighs 278 grams. It's still heavy, but keep in mind that this is a large foldable phone.
The foldable Vivo X Fold 2 is now official and looks like the company's "regular" flagships.
The Vivo X Fold 2 has been launched in China and at the moment we don't know if it will make it to other markets. The device definitely looks like a relative of the flagship Vivo X90 series, which the company announced not so long ago.
This is also a flagship phone, but a sophisticated one. Speaking of which quickly, let's take a look at its design. As you can see in the images provided, the device has vegan leather on the back. It has a circular camera bay on the back with ZEISS optics on board. It is composed and its structure is made of metal.
The Vivo X Fold 2 is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SOC, 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB or 512GB UFS 4.0 flash storage. So Vivo really spared no effort.
It has two 120Hz displays, each with an in-display fingerprint scanner.
The main display measures 8.03 inches and is a Samsung E6 AMOLED QHD+ (2160 x 1916) panel. This is an LTPO display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. HDR10+ is supported, as is Dolby Vision, and the display's brightness can reach 1800 nits peak.
The second panel is a 6.53-inch FullHD+ (2520 x 1080) unit. It's also a Samsung E6 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The brightness of this panel reaches 1600 nits at the maximum point.
It comes with 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
There is a 4800 mAh battery on board. The device supports 120W wired charging as well as 50V wireless charging. By the way, reverse wireless charging is also included in the package.
Android 13 is preinstalled on the device along with OriginOS 3 in China. When it launches globally, it will ship with Vivo's Funtouch OS. It includes two built-in fingerprint scanners, one for each phone screen. By the way, these are ultrasonic fingerprint scanners.
The phone has dual SIM slots (2x nano SIM) and supports 5G (SA/NSA) connectivity. Bluetooth 5.3 is of course also included in the box.
On the back you will find three interesting cameras with ZEISS optics.
