vivo wants to simplify X Fold 2 camera to reduce weight and thickness of smartphone
vivo unveiled the foldable X Fold smartphone in April 2022 and the Plus version in September. In spring, we'll see a next-generation model that gets a simplified camera compared to the 2022 devices.
Here's What We Know
The current-generation smartphones feature a Quad camera with 50 MP + 48 MP + 8 MP + 12 MP. The 12 MP and 8 MP modules have 2x and 5x zoom respectively. And the latter uses periscopic optics.
The vivo X Fold 2 will not feature a 5x zoom periscopic telephoto lens. This is reported by Chinese insider Digital Chat Station. In this way, the company wants to make the smartphone thinner and lighter. To understand, the vivo X Fold and X Fold+ models weigh 311g and are 14.6mm and 6.3mm thick when folded and unfolded respectively.
The vivo X Fold 2 will premiere in March 2023. Along with it, the company will unveil the vivo X Flip, which we wrote about today.
