vivo X Fold review:Perhaps the closest to perfect folding screen phone

How about a folding screen phone? believe for this issue,Many people's answers will be positive。But if you keep asking if they will buy,I am afraid there will be a lot of negative answers.。The reason,In order to accommodate such a large screen, the current folding screen models,Often compromises are made in some aspect of the product。Users pay the price of a top flagship while,You can't get the full-scale experience of the flagship level。As the last major domestic mobile phone brand to launch a folding screen model, vivo,Before the release of vivo X Fold, the slogan "Opening the Folding Screen 2.0 Era" was launched。

From a configuration point of view, vivo X Fold is indeed comprehensive enough,The periscope telephoto lens that has been absent from folding screen phones、Ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint、High-power wireless charging and other configurations have appeared。So what kind of experience can vivo X Fold bring when the configuration is full? Can it open the 2.0 era of folding screens? Let's take a look。

design:Uncompromising internal and external dual screens,Hidden in a thin and light body

As the flagship model of vivo,The X Fold has a lot to talk about in appearance,Here I come to tell you in detail。

Screen:flagship performance,Inside and outside the same

Recall the previously launched folding screen mobile phones,Often lacks the most important screen,Not the external screen ratio like the remote control,That is, the internal screen does not support 120Hz high refresh rate。on vivo X Fold,This status quo of "can only choose one" of internal and external screens has finally been broken。

vivo X Fold uses a combination of 6.53-inch external screen + 8.03-inch internal screen,Whether it is the size of the external screen or the internal screen,They are all in the first echelon of today's folding screen models。The external screen resolution is 2520*1080,Adopt 21:9normal ratio of,It ensures that users can get an experience that is very close to ordinary mobile phones when using an external screen.,Even in extreme scenarios like full keyboard input,You can also get a good experience。Simultaneously,The slightly curved shape brings a round and comfortable opening and closing feel at the same time,Provides more space for the lower hinge,Further improve space efficiency。

Expand the fuselage,What catches the eye is this large 8.03-inch inner screen.,It uses 4:3.55screen ratio,Resolution is 2160*1916。such a large screen size,Provides a viewing and operating experience comparable to a tablet,It also allows use in office scenarios,Especially browsing/editing documents is more relaxed。

For folding screen phones,Just having two screens is not enough,Since it is often necessary to switch between internal and external screens,The difference in screen parameters will undoubtedly cause a split in the user experience。To solve this problem,The internal and external screens of vivo X Fold use AMOLED screens made of Samsung E5 material.,Support 120Hz high refresh rate。At the same time, in order to maintain the color consistency of the internal and external screens,vivo X Fold adopts the self-developed consistency calibration scheme,Not only achieve the consistency of dual-screen display in factory mode,At the same time, it also supports users to customize the color style.,In custom mode, the two screens still have nearly the same color and display。

Current mainstream flagship models,Most of them use off-screen fingerprint recognition。The folding screen model is limited by the internal space of the fuselage,Mainly uses the same side fingerprint recognition as the low-end models。In order to provide users with a better fingerprint recognition experience,vivo X Fold achieves innovative fingerprint recognition technology breakthrough,Became the world's first product equipped with a new generation of fingerprint technology - "3D Ultrasound Dual Screen Fingerprint" on both internal and external screens,Stronger anti-interference ability、Unlock faster、higher security。

Hinge:The behind-the-scenes hero of making the phone thin and light without creases

For folding screen phones,The two points that attract the most attention during use are undoubtedly the creases and the feel of opening and closing.,Both of these points are closely related to the hinge design.。in my actual experience,The opening and closing force of vivo X Fold is moderate and not loose,Creases are also slightly,Such outstanding performance is naturally due to its aerospace-grade floating wing hinge and other peripheral designs.。

Before discussing the hinge design in detail,Let's first look at how the crease is formed。During the opening and closing process of the folding screen,Why do creases form,On the one hand, it is due to the lack of a supporting structure in the center after the screen is unfolded.,Causes it to fail to counteract the sag inertia in the bent state;On the other hand, when the screen is expanded,The upward force on the screen caused by the position of the door panel on both sides of the hinge that is in contact with the screen。The combined effect of two factors makes an M-shaped crease appear in the center of the folding screen。

To lighten creases,The aerospace-grade floating wing hinge used in vivo X Fold adds an integrated zirconium alloy keel in the center of the hinge,As the "skeleton" of the entire hinge,At the same time, an integrated zirconium alloy floating middle plate is added above the keel,Biometrics that mimic bird wings,Movement with the opening and closing of the phone。When the screen is expanded,Floating board top box,Provides support for the crease,Flatter screen;When the screen is closed,Floating mid-board drop,Provide enough room for screen bending,protect the screen,Phones are more durable。

Special design without hinges,The inner screen of vivo X Fold uses UTG ultra-tough glass,It has a unique staggered structure,It can further improve the compression resistance of the screen when it is folded under the premise of high light transmission performance,Make the screen more durable。Simultaneously,UTG glass has a faster rebound speed,The "bulge" that is raised on the door panel on both sides of the hinge that is connected to the screen disappears quickly。

Such a precise hinge structure,Its ease of use is naturally also of great concern to users.。After all, usually for flagships,Of course everyone wants two more years。To extend hinge life,Improve mechanical structure stability,vivo X Fold uses liquid metal zirconium alloy in 174 parts of the hinge、F53 Aviation High Strength Steel、Six heavy aviation materials such as hand-torn steel sheets。better flatness,light weight,high strength,Able to resist external shocks in many different scenarios,And more resistant to bending than general materials。

The top-grade materials also make it obtain the German Rheinland 300,000 folding worry-free certification。tested,After 300,000 folds,vivo X Fold still manages the crease to an excellent level。Even at the high frequency of 80 folds per day,Still enough for more than ten years,It is definitely more than enough for ordinary consumers.。
