Vivo IQOO Fold Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo IQOO Fold - long-awaited innovations

The Chinese company Vivo is trying to keep up with its opponents on all fronts, including the introduction of innovative technologies. Flexible displays are becoming more common, so performance could not remain indifferent and did not create a clamshell phone with advanced technical features. How competitive was the hero of today's review?

From the point of view of design, the gadget is capable of evoking only positive emotions. Both AMOLED screens will not upset with giant bezels, the tempered glass back is adorned with a proprietary triple camera unit and is clothed with a metal edging. The folding system is more than reliable, but the cover of the main 7.92-inch screen is plastic with a protective film from the kit. Sooner or later it will be noticeably scratched, so it is better to think about buying an additional one. With a resolution of 2360x1640 pixels, the picture displayed by the AMOLED display is endowed with excellent brightness and contrast parameters, as well as an increased refresh rate of 120 hertz , which is fashionable today. Vnutriekrannye fingerprint scanners work out precisely for this type of fingerprint sensors.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor is the most productive Android chipset, which, unfortunately, did not avoid the problem of excessive heating in this device. In the most resource-intensive games like Genshin Impact, the frequency rate may drop, but this situation is observed only when using the maximum graphics settings. In everyday life, the CPU, along with 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 660 video accelerator, provides lightning-fast operation of applications and the Android 11 interface. The chip's energy efficiency is average, but with a 4500mAh battery, the novelty functions decent 8-9 hours of active screen time, charge the battery from 0% to 100% will take only 30-35 minutes. The volume of internal storage was 256GB of UFS 3.1 format ROM , so the absence of a microSD card slot does not cause any negative.

The main 50-, 8- and 2-megapixel cameras are topped by the Sony IMX766 sensor with optical stabilization, which actually brings the reviewed Android smartphone to the rank of camera phones. Even evening shots are beautifully detailed along with natural color reproduction, and 4K video is incredibly smooth even at 60 frames per second. The developer did not save on stereo sound and NFC contactless payments, but there is no wireless charging in the phablet. However, this trifle does not spoil the impression of a technologically advanced and really beautiful gadget.
