Weekly Poll: Vivo X Fold2 And X Flip Hot Or Not?
Last week vivo introduced the first foldable vivo X Flip. It features a large 3-inch lid display and the company's improved hinge design. Also, the second generation of the horizontally foldable Vivo X Fold2 has been announced, which brings some improvements (and some downsides).
Two foldable devices were launched in China. Vivo hasn't announced any plans to sell them in other markets. And if so, will it offer both, or will it do what Oppo did and just bring the Flip to a wider audience?
While we can only speculate and we're on the subject right now, do you think not selling X-Foldables globally would be a missed opportunity? In other words, would you buy it if it was available in your area?
vivo's new hinge design shrinks the X Fold2 to 12.9mm when folded, which is 1.7mm less than the X Fold+, although the two are very similar when unfolded (6.0mm vs. 6.3mm ). In addition, this phone is 33 g lighter.
The company has also switched to the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and increased the wired charging power to 120W (up from 80W), so a full charge takes 26 minutes instead of 35 minutes for the old model (up from 4800mAh vs 4730mAh) . mAh). battery capacity). .
The X Fold+ has some of the best foldable cameras on the market, the X Fold2 takes this a step further. Gone is the 125mm periscope, replaced by a modest 47mm portrait camera (only 12 megapixels, the sensor doesn't offer a huge digital zoom). Also, the 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera has been replaced with a 12-megapixel camera with a narrower field of view (16mm vs. 14mm).
vivo does this for a reason: with a complex product, the company faces a serious problem, and that is price. The base model X Fold+ (12/256GB) costs 10,000 yuan, while the X Fold2 with the same storage configuration starts at 9,000 yuan. But is it really worth skipping the 10% discount on great TV cameras and ultra wide angle cameras? And is the fall in price enough to write off complex devices because they are too expensive?
A quick look at the competition reveals that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 also starts at 9,000 yuan for the 12/256GB model, while the Oppo Find N2 costs 8,000 yuan less (for the 12/256GB model, you can get 16 for 9,000 yuan). /512). GB). ). The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is the cheapest size and costs 13,000 yuan (12/256 GB) in China.
