vivo’s first folding screen phone, vivo X Fold, released a large stack of specifications – Page 1 – vivo discussion

The folding screen mobile phone has been in the market for more than three years. From the beginning, it was a toy for the wealthy and early adopters of technology. Later, it began to be popularized by ordinary consumers. Many brands have also launched their own products, especially Chinese brands. keen. Vivo, which is slightly behind in the field of folding mobile phones, also officially released its first folding screen mobile phone in the Chinese market today (11): vivo X Fold, in addition to being a folding flagship machine, it also added a lot of black technology .

2 colors, aerospace grade reels

The vivo X Fold uses the “square and round sky-level design” in the design. The camera module on the back of the phone uses a square glass panel with a round lens module. In addition to the gold ring embellishment on the periphery of the lens module, it is also polished by polishing. In this way, the lens module and the glass panel below show a continuous curved surface. The mobile phone is also designed in two colors: “Qingshan Blue” and “Indus Grey”. In addition to the leather-like back cover material, the “Indus Grey” version also uses a two-color stitching process.

▲ The camera module adopts a square and round sky-level design.

▲ There are two colors.

Vivo X Fold has especially worked on the hinge part of the mobile phone. It uses an “aerospace-grade floating wing hinge” and uses 6 aerospace-grade materials as the material of the shaft, including titanium alloy, zirconium alloy liquid metal, and carbon fiber board. , 18Ni250, FS53 high-strength aviation steel, and 301 hand-tear steel, etc., emphasizing that the strength can be increased by 76%, and it is the first mobile phone in the world to pass the Rheinland 300,000 folding certification, if the mobile phone is opened and closed 80 times a day. , the phone can be guaranteed for 10 years.

▲ The reel has been certified for 300,000 uses.

In order to reduce the crease of the screen, the inner screen of vivo X Fold is covered with the ultra-thin glass layer of German SCHOTT UTG. obvious. In addition, vivo also uses a zirconium alloy floating mid-plate structure on the hinge. This part in the center of the hinge will float slightly when the inner screen is opened, providing screen support in the folded part and making the screen more flat; after the screen is folded , the floating midplane will drop down, leaving an area for the screen to stretch.

Dual 120Hz monitors

In the screen part, the vivo X Fold adopts an inward folding screen design and is equipped with an additional outer screen. Its folding inner screen is 8.03 inches, with a resolution of 2160 x 1916 (ratio 4:3.55), using Samsung E5 LTPO AMOLED panel, supporting up to 1300 nits brightness, automatic 120Hz update rate, HDR10+; Coating”, can resist screen reflection. In addition, its inner screen has also passed the DisplayMate 19 A+ folding screen certification.

The external screen is a 6.53-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2520 x 1080 (ratio 21:9). It also supports a 120Hz update rate, as well as a maximum brightness of 1200 nits and HDR10+. In addition, in order to make the user experience more consistent when using the two screens, vivo also adopts a consistent calibration scheme on the two screens to make the color performance of the two screens closer.

▲ The outer screen is 6.53 inches, which is also a screen opening design.

Both internal and external dual screens have ultrasonic fingerprint recognition module

In addition to supporting 120Hz, the vivo X Fold’s dual-screen innovation is also the world’s first mobile phone with an ultrasonic screen fingerprint recognition module on both internal and external screens. Vivo pointed out that since flexible AMOLED screens traditionally require metal plates to support the fingerprint recognition module under the screen, the metal plates are opaque to light and ultrasonic waves cannot penetrate, and traditional optical fingerprint readers and ultrasonic fingerprint readers are both It can’t be used on it, so previous foldables have used side fingerprint readers.

In the process of research and development of the folding machine, vivo found that if the titanium alloy metal sheet and the polymer material film are used, the ultrasonic wave can be penetrated, and the fingerprint information can be transmitted back to the receiver. Therefore, vivo adopted this solution and launched it globally. The first phone to use an under-display fingerprint reader on a foldable screen. In addition, vivo X Fold is also equipped with an ultrasonic screen fingerprint reader on the outer screen, making it a mobile phone that can recognize fingerprints on both the inner and outer screens, and the fingerprint can be used on the inner and outer screens at the same time as long as the fingerprint is recorded once.

▲ vivo X Fold is the world’s first mobile phone with built-in 3D ultrasonic dual fingerprint recognition.

▲ The phone also supports a variety of “hover modes”, including taking pictures, watching videos, and more.

Zeiss T* Coated Quad Camera Main Camera

Vivo, which has recently paid great attention to images, has also piled up a lot of material on the X Fold, a folding flagship. Its main camera is a four-lens camera, which continues the leading edge with Zeiss. It adopts Zeiss-certified lenses and T* coating, which can greatly reduce the problem of flare when shooting; while the standard lens is 50 million pixels and uses a 1/1.57-inch Samsung GN5 sensor, supports F1.75 aperture and OIS optical anti-shake, in addition to 48 million pixels 114-degree ultra-wide-angle lens (F2.2), 12 million pixels Sony IMX663 2X portrait lens (F1.98) and 8 million pixels Pixel 5X periscope telephoto lens (OIS, F3.4), which can achieve maximum 60X super zoom shooting. The front camera of the phone is 16 million pixels.

▲ The main camera is a four-lens camera and is equipped with a GN5 large photosensitive element.

▲ In terms of camera function, vivo X Fold specially designed the “waist-level framing” function, which can fold the inner screen to 90 degrees, similar to the waist-level framing photography of old cameras to shoot low-angle compositions.

Qualcomm S8G1, 66W fast charge

In other specifications, vivo X Fold uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagship processor, and is equipped with 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB / 512GB UFS3.1 storage space, which can provide an additional 4GB of virtual memory, but does not support memory cards expansion.

In addition, the mobile phone has a built-in 4600 mAh dual battery module.
