vivo Pad and vivo X Fold have a release date (with video teaser)
From the promotional video, we are able to get a glimpse of the actual appearance of this tablet. The vivo Pad adopts a right angle frame and unibody metal design. The front sees a full screen solution with borders of equal width on four sides, while the panel size should be around 11 inches.
The vivo Pad's rear camera module adopts a similar design to that of the upcoming X Fold (which we'll see later). The dual camera lens is wrapped in a circle, so that it is recognizable in the vivo family with other products of the brand in terms of look and feel.
Furthermore, judging by the promotional video and the images released previously, the vivo Pad will be equipped with the OriginOS operating system designed for tablets, and will not miss the “standard functions” of tablets such as parallel horizons and multi-application split screen.
At the same time, being a flagship tablet, the vivo Pad should support stylus and keyboard input, which can meet the needs of the office worker.
In terms of hardware configuration, according to previously leaked news, the vivo Pad will be equipped with a Snapdragon 870 processor, an integrated 7860mAh battery, support for 44W fast charging and support for multi-terminal interconnection.
The vivo Pad will be released alongside the vivo X Fold during the April 11 press conference. The first flagship tablet will be presented on the same stage as the brand's first folding screen smartphone.
By the way, still today the Chinese brand has officially announced the arrival of the long-awaited vivo X Fold. It has also released a video here that directly shows the overall design of the vivo X Fold.
As revealed by the brand, vivo's first smartphone with a folding screen adopts the most mainstream internal folding screen solution on the market. After opening, it is indeed possible to get a huge internal screen, while on the outside there should be a secondary screen of small size, but this has not yet been shown.
In any case, the video also shows us that the back shell of the phone will be made of smooth leather and, with a blue color scheme, so it will obviously be a very premium smartphone.
The brand also specially showcased a close-up of the vivo X Fold's rear camera module. It can be clearly seen that the photographic compartment of the device will be one of the main strengths. Notably it appears to be adopting a four-camera solution, which also includes a square periscope lens, and even has a small blue Zeiss tag.
According to Huang Tao, vice president of products vivo, the brand started the research phase on folding screens four years ago and created dozens of versions, but only now that it thinks it has created the perfect foldable, vivo is ready to launch.
In fact, according to the vice president of products vivo, the X Fold will have a more mature and reliable technology for folding screens and which is the first to have a fingerprint sensor on both the internal and external screens.
Finally, according to the well-known Phone Arena site, the specs on the upcoming vivo X Fold include the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor, an internal screen size of 8,03 inches and an external screen size of 6,5 inches, both of which support a High refresh rate of 120 Hz. Finally, the device will have a battery with a capacity of 4600 mAh.
