Now that Vivo has wrapped up its regular flagship cycle for the year, the company’s next big launch is expected to be a foldable. It’ll follow the X Fold 3, and depending on Vivo’s naming strategy, it could be called the X Fold 4 or possibly Fold 5, since the number 4 is often skipped due to cultural superstitions in China.

Reliable leaker Digital Chat Station has now hinted that a new foldable is on track for a Q3 launch. While they didn’t name the device outright, all signs point to an upcoming Vivo foldable.

According to the tipster, the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This will be an expected jump from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found in the current X Fold 3. 

Vivo X Fold 4 Specifications (Rumored)

There’s no mention of the Pro variant yet, but if Vivo sticks to its usual playbook, the X Fold 3 Pro successor could pack the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite. 

Other early details suggest the foldable will feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a periscope-style telephoto camera, and support for wireless charging. As with the previous leak, the launch is expected sometime in Q3.

Likewise, a previous report claims the foldable will have a large AMOLED display with a high refresh rate and minimal bezels. The device is also expected to use a sophisticated hinge design to reduce the crease and improve durability.

In terms of cameras, the X Fold 4 is rumored to include a primary 50-megapixel sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide shooter. It’s also expected to pack a 6,000mAh battery and offer an IPX8 rating for water resistance.
