The X Fold2, a second-generation foldable, has been introduced by Vivo. The Mate X3 and the Galaxy Z Fold4, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold5 from this year, will be competitors of the Vivo X Fold2. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a hinge that closes with no visible gap are just two examples of the high-end hardware that the Vivo X Fold2 is equipped with.
In place of the X Fold, which made its debut alongside the X Flip and the Pad 2, Vivo has introduced the X Fold2. The X Fold2 is a flagship competitor for devices like the Galaxy Z Fold4 and the Mate X3 that Huawei unveiled earlier this year, as was to be expected. Vivo's choice to give the X Fold2 a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset implies that when it launches this summer, its newest foldable will compete with the Galaxy Z Fold5.

Vivo claims that when opened, the X Fold2 is 0.4 mm slimmer than the Galaxy Z Fold4. In other words, the X Fold2 has an opening thickness of 5.95 mm. The Galaxy Z Fold4 is roughly 15.8 mm thick, whereas its hinge mechanism enables it to collapse without a gap, resulting in a 12.9 mm thickness. However, Vivo's foldables continue to weigh a lot more than Samsung's. Even if the X Fold2 weighs 33 g less than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold4 is still 15 g lighter.
The X Fold2 also includes a 4,800 mAh battery that enables 50 W wireless charging and 120 W wired charging. Vivo has also added a 6.53-inch cover display with 1080p resolution and an 8.03-inch interior display with 2,160 x 1,916 resolution. For comparison, both display devices are 120 Hz AMOLED displays. Additionally, Vivo still has two ultrasonic fingerprint sensors, one for each display.

In addition, the X Fold2 has the same Sony IMX866V camera as the X Flip as its primary camera, in addition to 12 MP telephoto, 12 MP ultra-wide-angle, and twin 16 MP front-facing cameras. Unfortunately, Vivo has not said whether it plans to make the X Fold2 available everywhere. Only the Chinese pricing, which starts at CNY 8,999 ($1,309) with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, has been officially verified by the company so far. For CNY 9,999 (about $1,455), the device is also offered with the same RAM capacity but 512 GB of storage.
