TL;DR
- A realistic image of the vivo X Flip has appeared online.
- The image shows a foldable clamshell phone in line with a leaked schematic.
- Expect a larger cover screen than the Galaxy Z Flip 4’s outer screen.
Vivo is expected to launch the X Flip smartphone in the coming months, and this would be the company’s first clamshell foldable phone. We’ve already seen one leaked schedule And leaked specificationsbut it looks like we got our first look at the device in the real world.
A professional photo of actress Wang Ziwen holding the vivo X Flip posted online, leaker Digital Chat Station reported on Weibo. View the image below.

The photo shows a folded device that is in line with the previously leaked schematic. That means a landscape-oriented cover display that appears much larger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 cover screen. We hope this larger screen size means a more versatile cover display without the need for an app like CoverScreenOS.
Otherwise, a closer look at the vivo X Flip also shows a round camera housing with the ZEISS branding on the back. Vivo’s flagship phones tend to also get the camera company’s special lens coating to reduce glare, so we suspect that’s the case here too.
We can’t get much else from this image, but a previous leak points to a 6.8-inch 120Hz folding screen, a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC and a 50MP + 12MP rear camera system. Vivo is expected to launch the X Fold 2 next month, so it stands to reason that the X Flip could debut at the same event.
