vivo X Flip appears in live photo

The X Fold2 will be introduced by vivo this month, and we might see the X Flip clamshell alongside it. The foldable with a horizontal hinge has been part of the rumor mill for several months, and today we spotted the device in a live photo, courtesy of reliable tipster Digital Chat Station.

The new phone will have a circular camera island with the Zeiss logo and a landscape display, taking up more than half of the front cover.

Odds are we going to get two cameras on the circular island. There is a visible diamond pattern, and the Purple color matches the most popular option on the Samsung Z Flip lineup and the Oppo Find N2 Flip.

The image is not as detailed as we would’ve wanted, and we cannot entirely confirm whether the hinge folds flat or there is a slight gap. What we do know from previous listings and benchmarks is the panel on the inside will have 1080p resolution, while inside will sit a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with 12GB RAM.
