Test: Vivo X Fold+

Foldable smartphones are an increasingly popular type of mobile device. There are definitely not many and therefore it is important to produce a model that will convince a potential buyer to buy.

Anyone who follows the world of cell phones knows that a series of Vivo X Foldable smartphones is already a reality. We now have a new addition to the family, which has already been mentioned Vivo X Foldable+. It follows on from its predecessor and will be sold exclusively in the Chinese domestic market. Due to the appearance of the back, it is very reminiscent of the current flagship Vivo X80 Pro.

However, it has a better Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor which is made using modern 4nm technology. There's also a body made from aircraft-grade aluminum, its own security chip, and an improved battery and cameras. The novelty brings a battery with greater capacity, which now specifically reaches 4730mAh. This improvement was achieved without increasing the device's dimensions.

Laboratory tests reveal that the novelty in relation to the Vivo X Foldable achieves up to 20% better resistance per charge. Speaking of charging, 80W wired charging and 50W wireless FlashCharge are available, which is borrowed from the flagship Vivo X80 Pro. Incidentally, it is also sold here in Europe. The manufacturer claims that from 1% to 70% Vivo X Foldable+ can charge in 18 minutes. A full charge can be achieved in 35 minutes. As for the wireless charging alternative, you can get your phone battery from 0% to 100% in 53 minutes.

Vivo X Foldable+ comes with a unique dual USB-C charging adapter made from gallium nitride. Allows you to charge multiple devices at the same time for convenient use in various situations.

Now let's go to the screens. Both the exterior and interior can boast 120Hz refresh rate. The internal display has an 8-inch diagonal with a resolution of 2160 x 1916 pixels. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is implemented on both screens, which is very remarkable news.

So, if you work on the internal display, which is now even better adapted to working with multiple apps at the same time, unlocking will be extremely fast, reliable and, above all, secure. Users can open up to two foreground windows as well as four applications simultaneously with two split-screen windows and up to 12 background windows.

Also worth mentioning is the so-called “Speaker Mode” in which the lower part of the screen will be used to display notes and the upper part will be used to show the presentation, which you will mirror on a larger projector or external monitor.

Newly introduced Vivo X Foldable+ is also a suitable companion for lovers of mobile photography. Thanks to the cooperation with the company ZEISS, it was possible to adjust the images produced both with the help of hardware and software.
