The buzz around Vivo’s upcoming foldable phone, likely a successor to the Vivo X Fold3 Pro, is gaining momentum, with rumors suggesting a potential reduction in the number of cameras. Currently equipped with five, the next model might cut down to four, although it’s expected to keep its Zeiss-branded periscope zoom lens. This has left speculators wondering which of the cameras—perhaps the main or the ultra-wide lens, or possibly one of the selfie cameras—might be dropped.
Adding to the mystery, the same source hints at possible changes to the device’s “peripheral specifications,” a term open to interpretation. It could relate to anything from its Bluetooth 5.4 support with aptX to its USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-C port. Despite these possible changes, the foldable is likely to maintain wireless charging capabilities, a sought-after feature.
Interestingly, this new foldable might not belong to Vivo’s line-up alone. There’s speculation it could also be the next Honor Magic V-series flagship, adding to the suspense. Whichever brand claims it, predictions suggest these new models will come with larger batteries, nearing 6,000mAh, all while being lighter than their predecessors.
The competition heats up as the OnePlus Open 2 is expected to hit the market with similar advantages. This device is believed to be incredibly slim at just 8.9mm when closed, which might draw in users seeking a sleek and portable design.
These developments in foldable technology hint at an exciting future where these devices not only pack more power and features but do so in more compact and sophisticated designs. Keep an eye out as the next generation of foldables sets new standards in the smartphone industry.
