In the mobile phone market is declining, still in the growth of the folding screen mobile phone has become a new competitive place for mobile phone manufacturers, not to mention the folding screen mobile phone often tens of thousands of prices, but also really become manufacturers impact high-end brand shortcut.
As of September, all the mainstream domestic mobile phone manufacturers have launched their own fold-screen phones, and this year’s new products are also very mature, such as last year’s remote control and other funny claims that it is difficult to appear in the current smartphone market.
But subject to the form, although the folding screen phone is expensive, but it is difficult to have a variety of industry top configuration like conventional mobile phones, often in many places will appear some “jerry-built”.
However, this does not mean that the top configuration really can not appear in the fold-screen phone, the current fold-screen phone market does have a can be called the strongest configuration of the fold-screen phone, which is the protagonist of this article: Vivo X Fold+.

Appearance

In fact, from the naming also can be seen, Vivo X Fold+ is a small upgrade to Vivo X Fold, and therefore, Vivo X Fold+ and her predecessors compared with the appearance of the design is basically unchanged.

However, in the color, Vivo X Fold+ this new Chinese red, compared with the previous generation of business sycamore gray and low-key Qingshan blue more young and energetic, bright red in plain skin against the backdrop does not appear to make public, but looks quite comfortable.

In the closed form of the phone, the Vivo X Fold+ is slightly thicker, but it is acceptable, and the Vivo X Fold+ is completely closed, as opposed to Samsung’s folding screen, which leaves a gap in the middle, so it looks better.

And Vivo X Fold+ also brought the upgraded hinge technology, effectively reduce the generation of creases, compared to the previous generation of products in the visual improvement is really great.
It’s commendable that Vivo X Fold+ didn’t sacrifice the external screen ratio for the internal screen. The external screen ratio of Vivo X Fold+ is still relatively normal for mobile phones, and there is no problem when used alone.

On the outside edge of the phone, Vivo X Fold+ made a small curved design on the outside screen, so that the whole phone will not produce a cut feel in the normal grip. In addition, Vivo X Fold+ also designed a mute button on the frame, although not like one plus is a three-section, but also very practical.

On the other side of the spindle, Vivo X Fold+ appears very simple, as if the spine of the spindle is very clean, but I do think you can print some logo on the spindle, to increase the recognition of the phone.

In the camera module, the Vivo X Fold+ and X80 design are very similar, but the Vivo X Fold+ has one more camera than the X80, which pushes the Zeiss Blue Label into the top right corner.

From the outside, however, the design and workmanship of Vivo X Fold+ is quite exquisite. The buttons are tight and the tactile feedback is strong. The only regret is that the Chinese red border on Vivo X Fold+ has removed the frosted texture of the previous generation, which makes the border somewhat sticky to fingerprints.

Performance

As the flagship model launched in the second half of this year, Vivo X Fold+ naturally uses Snapdragon 8+, which is also the biggest difference between it and Vivo X Fold.
It is worth mentioning that the Vivo X Fold+ may be the only Vivo flagship phone using Snapdragon 8+ this year, after all, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 will be released in two months.
In Antutu V9, Vivo X Fold+ scored 1097451, although everyone is Snapdragon 8+, UFS 3.1, LPDDR 5 performance combination, but Vivo X Fold+ scores in many Snapdragon 8+ is also the best, can be said to be second to the game phone folding flagship.

In addition to the Snapdragon 8+, Vivo X Fold+, which can claim to be the strongest fold-screen flagship, is also comparable to the traditional straight-screen flagship in other configurations, which is different from most fold-screen phones that choose to weaken the configuration due to form limitations.
The biggest difference is firstly embodies in fingerprint unlock solution, vivo X a Fold of ultrasonic wave screen + inside and outside the double screen double fingerprints, compared to still use fingerprints of competing goods side, advantage is not too big, even only from fingerprints to unlock this point of view, even the most straightforward flagship nor a Fold and vivo X +.
In addition, Vivo X Fold+ there is a first-class camera capability, Vivo, after all, but the current domestic phone manufacturers in the second to none camera factory.
Like its predecessor, Vivo X Fold+ features Zeiss optics and a powerful four-camera combo that includes a 5,000W master camera, a 12-megapixel pro portrait camera, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle master camera, and a latent view hypertelephoto camera that supports 60x optical zoom.
From the perspective of this four-shot configuration alone, Vivo X Fold+ has been firmly positioned in the first line of camera capability, of course, the specific shooting effect will be discussed later.
Other than that, Vivo X Fold+ is best known in many other areas, such as the 120Hz 2K+ Samsung E5 screen and two 2365mAh batteries.

Overall, Vivo X Fold+ the strongest folding screen name is really worthy of the name, really in all aspects of the configuration of the industry top, the only pity is that the conscience of the configuration of this phone weight and thickness slightly conspicuous, this is slightly inferior to competing products, but after all, the fish and bear palm can not have both.

Software

As an important factor troubling the development of folding screen, software adaptation is one of the areas Vivo X Fold+ focuses on solving. On the basis of the previous common APP adaptation, we added the optimization of financial and office apps.
The actual experience of Vivo X Fold+ on such apps is more like a small tablet than a phone with a larger screen, which also compound the actual use needs of folding phone users.


In addition, the large screen of foldable screen also brings excellent multi-tasking experience. Compared with the multi-tasking of conventional mobile phones, foldable phone can completely display two complete APP interfaces on the current mobile phone interface.

In addition, the arbitrary hover enabled by the excellent hinge allows Vivo X Fold+ to display powerpoint or other office applications like a small laptop.
In addition to these features of folding screen, Origin OS also has excellent performance on folding screen, interface and application adaptation makes Vivo X Fold+ experience is also at a good level.

Battery Life

Contrary to the impression that the battery life of the folding screen is weak, Vivo X Fold+ battery life is quite good, at least mainstream flagship level.
Two 2365mAh battery brings the equivalent 4730mAh experience, battery capacity density and internal structure optimization Vivo X Fold+ battery performance compared to the previous generation of many excellent, in fact, small series before the main machine is Vivo X Fold, normal wechat chat for an hour of more than 15% power consumption is also common, In contrast, the actual experience of Vivo X Fold+ has really improved a lot.
The actual performance of Vivo X Fold+ in the 9-hour simulation environment was actually beyond Xiao Bian’s expectations.
The whole simulation environment is: no card, WiFi, 50% brightness and 50% volume. The simulation process is 2 hours of 4K online movie playback, 2 hours of game battle, 2 hours of video music playback, 1 hour of voice call, 1 hour of social software, and 1 hour of Tiktok.
In total, the screen time at the front desk is 7 hours, and the screen time is 2 hours.
The Vivo X Fold+ has 9% battery remaining, which compares favorably with most flagships.

In addition to the excellent battery life, Vivo X Fold+ has also been upgraded with a stronger fast charge capability. The 80W fast charge is now also coming to the mainstream speed of flagship phones. In actual tests, Vivo X Fold+ took about 35 minutes to charge from 5% to 100%, which is comparable to the official figures.

In addition to wired fast charging, Vivo X Fold+ also supports 50W wireless fast charging, in this point is also ahead of many other flagship phones.
It is worth mentioning that Vivo X Fold+ comes with a gallium nitride charger with dual Type-C ports.

Photography

As Vivo’s flagship phone, the Vivo X Fold+ camera capability is absolutely trustworthy, the rear four camera combination and Zeiss imaging system firmly in the industry’s first-class level, the actual proof effect is also so.
First of all in color, Vivo X Fold+ proof effect is more real, compared to other brands are filled with gorgeous colors, Vivo X Fold+ tone performance is not enchanting.

In terms of detail, Vivo X Fold+ relies on the 50 megapixel master camera to capture most of the details.

Vivo X Fold+’s HDR performance in the backlight scene is quite restrained, and the proofs don’t lose their realism because of HDR.


As one of the few phones with ultra-long lenses, Vivo X Fold+ ‘s zoom photography is also top-notch among many flagships. At 5X, building details are still clearly visible, but at 60x, the hand shaking problem is too severe, so it doesn’t look good.

In addition, the vivo X Fold+ also has a super moon mode. Compared with other “scan code” folding screen phones, the camera capability of the vivo X Fold+ is obviously much higher. Although it is not the best one, it is placed in this year’s Android The flagship also belongs to the level of the first echelon.

Summary

The expensive price of fold-screen phones is prohibitive for most users. After all, the price of one fold-screen phone is enough to buy two or even three mainstream Android flagship phones, which determines that the user group of fold-screen phones is not ordinary users, but older business people. Therefore, Vivo X Fold+ provides more financial and office functions.
Xiaobian is not in the evaluation to provide game performance display, although 109W score is very strong, but limited by the form of mobile phone, Vivo X Fold+ game experience is really not good, I believe that not many users will choose such a mobile phone to play games.
In addition to these, Vivo X Fold+ is certainly a good enough phone, all aspects of the configuration worthy of the bucket flagship, which is definitely unique among the current fold-screen phones.
Although the current folding screen mobile phone market is increasingly mature, but manufacturers have not stopped exploring this market, the selling points of the launched mobile phones are different, there are the main light touch, there are the main photography ability, and Vivo is to abandon the hand feel in exchange for a more comprehensive configuration.
Vivo X Fold+ is indeed the most equipped phone with a folding screen.
