6000mAh Battery: Larger capacity than the X Fold 3’s 5500mAh; wireless charging is expected.
50MP Telephoto Camera: Features a periscope lens for superior zoom capabilities. IPX8 Rating: Offers better water resistance compared to the X Fold 3’s IPX4. Ultra-Light Design: Thinner profile with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Vivo X Fold 4: What We Know So Far
The Vivo X Fold 4, which follows the X Fold 3 launched in March 2024, is creating excitement with spec leaks and information about its launch timeline.
Reliable sources, Experience More (via Weibo) and Digital Chat Station, indicate that it is expected to be released in China in Q3 2025, which corresponds to the July-September timeframe.
Expected Features
Performance: Expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, marking a significant upgrade from the Gen 2 chip used in the X Fold 3.
Battery & Charging: Equipped with a substantial 6000mAh battery (compared to the 5500mAh battery in the X Fold 3) and supporting wireless charging—a first for Vivo’s Fold series.
Camera: Features a 50MP periscope telephoto lens for enhanced zoom capabilities, alongside the existing ultra-wide and primary sensors.
Design: Promises an “ultra-light” construction (weighing under 219g) and IPX8 water resistance, enhancing durability. Security: Expected to include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for easy access.
Comparison with X Fold 3 Series
The rumored specifications of the X Fold 4 surpass those of its predecessor, especially in terms of battery life, chipset, and water resistance.
Importantly, the X Fold 3 Pro, which was priced around ₹1,16,000, featured a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 100W wired charging but did not support wireless charging—an area that the X Fold 4 is expected to address.
Pricing Expectations
Although no leaks confirm the pricing, the X Fold 3 had a starting price of CNY 6,999 (~₹80,000). The X Fold 4 might fall within a similar price range, but features such as wireless charging and IPX8 certification could increase costs.
As Vivo seeks to compete with Samsung and Huawei in the foldable market, the rumored specifications of the X Fold 4 suggest it could be a flagship contender. However, the details are still unconfirmed, and there have been no leaks regarding a Pro variant.
