Vivo has now officially confirmed the launch date for its first foldable phone. The latest teaser posted by Vivo on Weibo confirms that the Vivo X Fold will launch in China on April 11. On the event, which will kickstart at 7:30 PM (local time), the brand might also announce Vivo X Note, Vivo Pad, and probably the Vivo X80 series also.
The teaser dropped on its official Weibo account confirms the arrival of Vivo’s first foldable phone, which is called Vivo X Fold. Oppo has already announced its first foldable phone, Oppo Find N, and another BBK group member is all set to enter the foldable smartphone market. The short teaser video does not completely reveal the Vivo X Fold’s design. However, the right side appears to have an alert slider.
