The Vivo X Flip is the latest addition to the Vivo X series, and it is set to be released in April 2023. Ahead of the launch, a live image of the phone was leaked during a photo shoot, revealing the rear design and color options. The phone is expected to compete with Samsung and OPPO’s clamshell smartphones in terms of design and features.

According to the leaked image, the Vivo X Flip will have a circular camera module, which is typical of the X series. The camera module will be positioned in the upper left corner when the phone is unfolded, and the cover display will sit on top of it when folded. The cover screen’s placement may make it challenging for users to reach the screen with one hand.

The phone is expected to feature a Full HD+ 6.8-inch OLED display with a centered punch-hole and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will also have a dual rear camera setup, consisting of a primary 50MP Sony IMX 866 sensor and a secondary 12MP Sony IMX 663 ultra-wide-angle sensor. The phone will likely have a 16MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

The Vivo X Flip will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It will run on FuntouchOS 13, which is based on Android 13, out of the box. The phone will also have a 4400mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging technology.

Vivo is set to hold a launch event in China in April 2023, where the Vivo X Flip and other new foldable smartphones and tablets will be unveiled. The company has not yet announced when the phones will be available in China or internationally.
