The upcoming Vivo X Fold 4 could become the thinnest book-style foldable in the world. This is based on the information shared by Digital Chat Station, one of the most accurate tipsters in the industry.
He not only shared the information regarding the phone’s thickness but some additional details too, including the camera info. Let’s talk about how thin this phone will be first, shall we?
The Vivo X Fold 4 is tipped to become the thinnest book-style foldable out there
According to what was said, the device will be only 8.Xmm thick when folded. The thinnest book-style foldable out there at the moment is the HONOR Magic V3, that device is 9.2mm thick when folded.
Well, based on this info, the Vivo X Fold 4 will trump it. It could even trump the HONOR V Purse, which is an outwards-folding smartphone and is only 8.6mm thick. That phone has one display, though, of course, and is not in the same category of phones.
In any case, the tipster also said that the Vivo X Fold 4 will weigh 21X grams. The HONOR Magic V3 weighs 226 grams and is considered very light considering it’s a large foldable. So, if this info is accurate, the Vivo X Fold 4 could really up the ante.
If the info is accurate, it will be a lot thinner and lighter than its predecessor
For comparison’s sake, the Vivo X Fold 3 is 10.2mm thick when folded, and weighs 231 grams. So this would be a huge difference from one generation to the next if Vivo manages to pull it off.
What else was said? Well, the tipster said that the phone will feature a 50-megapixel main camera sensor, and include a periscope telephoto camera. He added that three cameras will sit on the back, which suggests that an ultrawide camera will be the third one.
A 6,000mAh battery was also mentioned, which would be a true feat of engineering considering the mentioned thickness and weight. Vivo would have to use a silicon-carbon battery in order to make this happen, for sure.
Do note that the Vivo X Fold 3 series launched in April this year, so 5 months ago. Vivo announces its ‘Fold’ series once a year, so the Vivo X Fold 4 series likely won’t arrive before April 2025. So we’re in for a long wait.
