Reviews for the Vivo X Fold

Vivo X Fold Display test
Source: DxOMark
The Vivo X Fold main screen display performed well in our tests, particularly in color, and in artifacts, where it is at the top of the charts among all devices in our database thus far. The Vivo X Fold display really stood out in its consistent color fidelity, including skin tones, in all lighting environments and use cases. The device’s color score was just shy of the current top score. Further, the device ships with an anti-reflective film that not only reduces the visibility of the main screen’s crease but also improves readability in all lighting conditions, particularly in outdoor conditions. While the device’s peak brightness was not as high as that of other devices, brightness was well-managed thanks to the anti-reflective film and tuning. Where the device falters, however, is in its control of motion and of touch, with duplications, frequent frame drops, and a lack of smoothness affecting user satisfaction, particularly when gaming.

Vivo X Fold Audio test
Source: DxOMark
With a DXOMARK Audio score of 132, the Vivo X Fold performed well overall in our tests. While it proved to be an outstanding device for recording —thanks to the sheer wideness of its stereo recordings — playback results were just above average, leaving the testers wanting more, considering the X Fold’s dimensions and price point. In audio playback, our experts were satisfied with a deep low-end rendition complimenting an experience that was as equally pleasant in music listening as it was in movie-watching or gaming. However, the tonal balance was inconsistent depending on content and volume, and while the stereo wideness was perfectly good, one could have hoped for even better. The X Fold truly shone in recording, and while it was best with the main camera, results were good with the front camera and memo app as well. Audio recordings were exceptionally immersive, thanks to an outstanding stereo wideness both in landscape and portrait orientations when unfolded, and offered a very pleasant and natural sound signature. The Vivo also comes with an audio zoom feature that is useful in certain situations. However, our experts found that it could benefit from some adjustments.

Vivo X Fold First Impressions: Better Than the Samsung Galaxy Fold?
Source: NDTV Gadgets
The Vivo X Fold is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, and runs on Android 12 with Vivo's OriginOS Ocean (not Funtouch OS) skin. It comes equipped with a 4,600mAh battery that claims to be able to charge fully in just 37 minutes owing to the 66W wired charging. It can also charge wirelessly at 50W and supports reverse wireless charging at 10W. Despite the X Fold being Vivo's first-generation foldable phone, it is a well-crafted piece of technology that seems very sophisticated. Most of the big concerns that come with a foldable smartphone seem to be addressed here such as the cameras, hinge mechanism, and a premium appearance and feel. While Vivo has no plans as of now to launch the X Fold in India, it would be fantastic if it did as it would mean more choices for the consumer, which is always a good thing.

Vivo X Fold Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News
The Vivo X Fold smartphone can’t be considered as yet another foldable phone that offers a flagship feature. The phone arrives with a pretty refreshing feel compared to other brands. From the appearance to its performance, everything is top-notch. It got a massive screen with a faster refresh rate, the camera quality is fascinating, processing power is also superb, and battery optimization is worth noting. Long story short, the Vivo X Fold smartphone is a complete package of features and specs. But at the same time, there are several other options present in the foldable market too. If you are looking for a bigger battery, you can check out the Mi Mix Fold. But make the final decision according to your preference and needs.

The Vivo X Fold Puts The "Wow" Back In Folding Phones
Source: MrMobile
When I review a smartphone that isn’t offered in my part of the world, the question I’m usually trying to answer is: do I wish it *was*? Late last year, Oppo released a smartphone for which my answer was a resounding “yes:” a foldable called the Find N that blended the best of large- and small-format folding phones. For 2022, Oppo’s sister brand Vivo has gone the opposite direction – with a massive and extravagant smartphone called the Vivo X Fold. "Into The Fold" is all about exploring all the different kinds of flexible-display devices, and after a week with the Vivo X Fold I’ve found it gets so much right that if it were offered here in the United States … I believe it would become the new go-to in full-size foldables.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 730: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 30% faster than the Adreno 660 in the Snapdragon 888 SoC. For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in late 2021.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

SD 8 Gen 1: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2021 and manufactured in 4 nm at Samsung. Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a ARM Cortex-X2 architecture clocked at up to 3 GHz. Three more performance cores are based on the A710 but clock up to 2.5 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A510 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 6e modem, a Hexagon DSP (for AI acceleration) and a Spectra ISP. The integrated memory controller supports fast LPDDR5 memory with up to 3,200 MHz. 5G is now included in the chip with the Snapdragon X65 modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

8.03":

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

69.18%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
