Vivo X Fold goes official

Vivo has decided to build it on the basis of the waterdrop-shaped solution that has become more and more popular recently. There is an integrated floating mid-plate of the same material as the zirconium alloy that acts as a “skeleton”. This mimics the bird’s wing. When the phone is opened, the middle plate will rise to “lift up” the crease in the middle of the inner screen, making the surface smoother, says the company. And when the device is closed, the lowered middle plate also provides enough space for the bent part of the panel, making the phone more durable (TÜV-certified 300,000 lifespans). At the same time, vivo has also used UTG and controlled the bending radius of the inner screen to 2.3mm. This is better than the 3mm which is a standard in other phones, said the company.
