The Vivo X Fold launch event — Vivo's Spring Launch Event — kicked off on April 11, 2022 at 5 pm Indian time, unveiling three headline devices: the Vivo X Fold foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Note, and the Vivo Pad tablet. Here is everything you need to know about these devices before they go on sale.
Vivo X Fold Launch: Specs and Highlights
The Vivo X Fold is the company's first-ever foldable smartphone, and it looks set to challenge premium rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Huawei Mate X2. Vivo has partnered with Zeiss and uses Zeiss's signature T* optical coating across its quad-camera array, aiming to deliver what the brand describes as one of the industry's standout multi-lens setups for a foldable device.
| Feature | Vivo X Fold | Vivo X Note |
|---|---|---|
| Inner Display | 8-inch 2K LTPO 3.0 OLED, 120Hz | 7-inch QHD+ (large-screen design) |
| Outer Display | 6.53-inch Full HD+, 120Hz | — |
| Battery | 4,600mAh | 5,000mAh |
| Wired Charging | — | 80W |
| Wireless Charging | 50W (first foldable in industry) | 50W |
| Cameras | Quad-camera with Zeiss T* coating | Not specified |
| Body | Foldable form factor | Glass and sandwich construction |
Vivo X Note: The Ultra-Premium Large-Screen Option
Vivo positions the X Note squarely at users who prefer large-screen flagship phones like the iPhone 13 Pro Max or the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. Its traditional glass-and-sandwich build houses a massive QHD+ 7-inch display — a notable size step up from most flagship phones. The 5,000mAh battery paired with 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging means it should comfortably last through a full day and top up quickly.
Vivo X Fold: First Foldable with 50W Wireless Charging
One of the standout facts about the Vivo X Fold is that it became the first foldable smartphone in the industry to offer 50W wireless charging support. The 4,600mAh battery powers both the 8-inch inner OLED panel and the 6.53-inch outer screen, with both running at 120Hz refresh rates via LTPO 3.0 technology for adaptive smoothness.
How to Watch the Vivo Spring Launch Event Live
Vivo streamed the April 11, 2022 Spring Launch Event live on its official Twitter page, Facebook page, and the Vivo global website. All three channels carried the full reveal of the Vivo X Fold, Vivo X Note, and Vivo Pad in real time.
About the Vivo Pad
The Vivo Pad was the third product announced at the Spring Launch Event. While detailed specifications were not confirmed ahead of the event, it marks Vivo's entry into the tablet segment alongside the two flagship smartphones.
What Makes the Vivo X Fold Stand Out Among Foldables
Beyond the Zeiss camera partnership and industry-first wireless charging, the Vivo X Fold's design was teased for several months before the April 2022 launch. Vivo's own descriptions suggested the build quality would exceed that of existing foldables in terms of premium feel. The 8-inch 2K inner display with LTPO 3.0 and 120Hz refresh gives it a competitive inner screen size compared with Samsung's Z Fold series, while the 6.53-inch outer panel keeps it usable without unfolding.
Together, the Vivo X Fold, X Note, and Vivo Pad represent a significant expansion of Vivo's premium product lineup for 2022, targeting segments ranging from cutting-edge foldable technology to ultra-premium large-screen phablets and tablets.
