Vivo X Fold launch on April 11 Vivo Pad and Vivo X Note also expected

Vivo’s first folding phone is called Vivo X Fold and it has been set to go official on April 11 at 7:30 pm China time (5 pm IST) in China. In an online event, the company will unveil its first folding smartphone which it claims will introduce the “foldable screen 2.0 era”. In the teasers shared on Weibo, the Vivo folding phone looks similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G or Oppo Find N’s book design. However, we only get an off-angle glimpse of the device which is not enough to draw a good picture of it.

Vivo X Fold: What to expect

Vivo X Fold

In the teaser video, you can see the phone in its folded state initially. By the back, it has got a large rectangular island with a big camera ring. Inside, there appear to be 4 cameras, including a periscope zoom lens. The camera panel has got Zeiss branding and we could expect the camera features similar to the Vivo X70 Pro series.

Vivo X Fold Rear Cameras

The device seems to have a blue faux-leather finish. Then, the device unfolds to a tablet-like form. That’s all the teaser reveals.

However, going with the rumours, we learn the Vivo X Fold could have an 8-inch main inner display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and an Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG). Under the hood, it could be carrying Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, up to 12+512GB memory support, 4600mAh battery with 80W fast charging, 50W wireless fast charging, and Android 12 software.

With the X Fold, Vivo boasts to bring a “foldable screen 2.0 era” on April 11. Let’s see.

Vivo Pad

Besides it, we are also expecting a tablet named the Vivo Pad, the Vivo X Note, Vivo X80 series of phones.

The Vivo Pad could come with a 120Hz LCD screen on the front, a unique camera panel at the back, and Snapdragon 870 SoC inside. It may also support stylus input, up to 8+256GB memory configuration, and 44W fast charging.

Meanwhile, the X Note and X80 phones or at least their top-end models are likely to ship with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
