The vertical folding form of the phone attracts a lot of girls with its small and delicate body, and with some accessories it can become a fashion item. vivo's first small folding X Flip is late to the party, but in my opinion it is a folding flagship that combines beauty and high practicality.
New color scheme + horizontal outer screen, greatly enhanced playability
The Vivo X Flip comes in three colorways, in addition to the classic "silk gold" and "diamond black" glass colorways, the most representative one is the "diamond purple" colorway we have. It is very obvious from the appearance, Vivo for the first time added the most representative diamond pattern elements of CHANEL on the phone, with three-dimensional leather technology, the whole machine's texture is immediately advanced, the touch is also very comfortable.
The details, Vivo X Flip's plain leather and wear-resistant anti-dirty nano-coating, not only in the anti-dirty and anti-aging has excellent performance, but also not easy to stain fingerprints, hold in hand to play at will without worrying about dirty body.
I believe you have noticed the large external screen, the Vivo X Flip uses a horizontal 3-inch "magic mirror" large external screen. The horizontal design is not only more in line with the visual habits of the human eye, but the new interaction method also brings more fun, without the need to turn the phone and distinguish between left and right hands.
This is the advantage of horizontal screen. The lock screen of vivo X Flip has 6 cute pets to choose from, such as fat orange "Tuan Tuan" and Shiba Inu "Shiba Shiba", so you can interact with your pets by touching them.
The outer screen of vivo X Flip supports more than 30 applications such as camera, weather, WeChat and Xiaohongshu, which is officially called "Atomic Card Library". Each application has a very high degree of adaptation, like WeChat's external screen reply, which not only supports replying to emoji packets, pure voice and voice to text, but even supports full keyboard input, and simple WeChat reply does not even need to open the screen, which is very convenient.
The adaptation of Xiaohongshu is also very good, slide up and down to browse the graphic or video content, slide left and right under the graphic content can switch pictures, when you go out to play or commute to work is not convenient to expand the inner screen, use the outer screen to brush a small red book is also a good choice.
What's worth mentioning is that after Vivo X Flip unlocks the external screen, whether it's pulling down from the top left to call out the notification center, pulling down from the top right to call out the control center, or sliding up to return to the desktop, these full-screen gestures are all applicable to this external screen.
You think that's the end of it? That would be too small to see this external screen, Vivo X Flip also has a magic mirror application, outside the screen can support brush microblogging, brush Jitterbug, B station video, go out and want to watch video but forgot to bring the phone stand, just stand up the phone can, horizontal mode video ratio is also very natural coordination.
The 6.74-inch ultra-retina eye protection screen with blue diamond arrangement design supports 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate, which is quite delicate and smooth for daily use. There is also 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and dual-screen color temperature adaptive mode, the phone can be used in a dark environment can also be more eye protection.
As for the creases, the inner screen of Vivo X Flip adopts 5.3mm super large diameter water drop design, with UTG super tough glass and multi-layer three-dimensional support structure, the phone can barely see the creases when viewed from the front, but the more obvious creases can only be seen in the side and with light reflection, but it does not affect the use.
Zeiss image + hoverable design, more diversified ways to play
The Vivo X Flip features a 50MP IMX866V main camera with a large F1.75 aperture, full pixel focus and OIS optical stabilization technology for excellent imaging quality, and a 12MP ultra-wide angle lens to meet more shooting needs.
Most importantly, this main camera of Vivo X Flip supports the world's first VCS Bionic Spectrum technology, resulting in a 20% reduction in noise and a 15% improvement in color performance, and supports hardware-level video and high dynamic image quality, effectively reducing ghosting.
From the sample images, thanks to the Zeiss T* optical coating, the overall color of the Vivo X Flip is very close to the real picture, and even the brightly colored building walls can be well restored to the naked eye's perception.

In night scenes, the Vivo X Flip is usually ready to shoot within 1 second, although it prompts you to hold the camera steady after tapping the shutter. There is a brightening process in post to ensure a sharp performance and the highlights of the light sign are well suppressed.

We know that taking selfies with the rear main camera is far better looking than using the front lens, so the vivo X Flip can use the external screen for selfies with the cover closed, and you can directly call the ultra wide-angle lens when taking pictures of multiple people together, and you can also set the frame, filter and other functions, so you can take beautiful pictures at any time.
The Vivo X Flip uses Peek - a high-strength carbon fiber composite material for the first time, as well as five aerospace-grade materials such as aerospace-grade high-strength steel and aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, making the hinge significantly stronger and lighter. In addition, the hinge also incorporates the industry's first internal double-cam structure, and with the multi-layer three-dimensional support structure, the stronger control allows the vivo X Flip to support multi-angle hovering.
With multi-angle hovering, the vivo X Flip naturally supports more diverse shooting methods. In the hovering state, you can open the camera app with the outer screen and shoot freely, which is especially suitable for those who like to shoot vlogs.
Vivo X Flip will be split into half when you open the camera using the inner screen, and the viewfinder frame is transferred to the standing half screen, the lower half screen can directly set the focal length, filters and other parameters, which is suitable for time-lapse photography such as shooting some traffic or starry sky, or you can use the front lens to take a selfie without a tripod.
There is also DV mode, the vivo X Flip will be 90 degrees half-folded state can be achieved like a DV machine one-handed video, grip gestures more comfortable at the same time, built-in 6 sets of DV film templates let you shoot a sense of story at any time.
Summary
The small folded vivo X Flip will not take up much space in a girl's backpack, and with the official "luxury small bag" case and pearl star ring chain, along with the classic rhombus texture of the "diamond purple" color scheme, the phone can also be transformed into a fashion accessory for girls to go out. Of course, guys can also choose the "silk gold" or "diamond black" color scheme to feel the many fun ways to play with this external screen.
Although Vivo's first vertical folding flagship came late, the X Flip can still bring excellent folding experience and the excellent performance of Snapdragon 8+ mobile platform, the experience can be directly comparable to a straight phone. For those who like vertical folding, the Vivo X Flip is not to be missed.
