At the moment when the mobile phone market is declining, folding screen mobile phones, which are still growing, have become a new battleground for mobile phone manufacturers, not to mention the price of folding screen mobile phones, which can easily cost tens of thousands, has indeed become a challenge for manufacturers to attack high-end brands. shortcut.
As of September, all mainstream domestic mobile phone manufacturers have launched their own folding screen mobile phones, and this year’s new products are also very mature. Like last year’s remote control, it is difficult to appear in the current smartphone market. up.
However, subject to the shape, although the folding screen mobile phone is expensive, it is difficult to have various top-level configurations like conventional mobile phones, and it often appears to be a bit “cut corners” in many places.
However, this does not mean that the top configuration cannot really appear on the folding screen mobile phone. In the current folding screen mobile phone market, there is indeed a folding screen mobile phone that can be called the strongest configuration. This is the protagonist of this article: Vivo X Fold+.
Exterior:
In fact, it can be seen from the naming that vivo X Fold+ is a small upgrade to vivo X Fold, and therefore, the appearance design of vivo X Fold+ is basically unchanged compared with its predecessors.
However, in terms of color matching, this time the vivo X Fold+ has added Huaxia Red, which is younger and more energetic than the sycamore gray and low-key Qingshan blue of the previous generation of business. Zhang Yang, on the contrary looks quite comfortable.
When the mobile phone is closed, the vivo X Fold+ is a bit thick, but it is acceptable, and the vivo X Fold+ is completely closed, instead of leaving a gap in the middle like the Samsung folding screen, so the visual experience of the appearance is better.
Moreover, the vivo X Fold+ also brought an upgraded hinge technology this time, which effectively reduces the occurrence of creases. Compared with the previous generation products, it is indeed greatly improved visually.
It is commendable that the vivo X Fold+ did not sacrifice the proportion of the external screen for the sake of the internal screen. The external screen of the vivo X Fold+ is still a relatively normal proportion of a mobile phone, and it is no problem to use it alone.
On the outer edge of the phone, the vivo X Fold+ has a slightly curved design on the outer screen, so that the whole phone will not feel cut under normal holding conditions. In addition, the vivo X Fold+ also designed a mute button on the frame , although it is not a three-stage type like OnePlus, it is also very practical.
On the other side of the hinge, the vivo X Fold+ looks very simple. The hinge like the spine of a book is very clean. However, I personally think that some logos can be printed on the hinge to increase the recognition of the phone.
On the camera module, the design of the vivo X Fold+ and the X80 is very similar, but compared to the X80, the vivo X Fold+ has one more camera, so the small blue Zeiss logo is squeezed to the upper right corner.
But from the appearance point of view, the design and workmanship of vivo X Fold+ are quite exquisite, the buttons are tight, and the tactile feedback is also very powerful. The frame is a bit prone to fingerprints.
Configuration:
As the flagship model launched in the second half of this year, the vivo X Fold+ naturally uses the Snapdragon 8+, which is the biggest difference between it and the vivo X Fold.
It is worth mentioning that the vivo X Fold+ may also be the only flagship phone under the vivo brand this year that uses the Snapdragon 8+. After all, the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 will be out in two months.
In Mobile Update V9, the running score of vivo X Fold+ is 1097451. Although everyone is a performance combination of Snapdragon 8+, UFS 3.1, and LPDDR 5, the score of vivo X Fold+ is also considered among many Snapdragon 8+. Ranked among the best, it can be said to be the folding screen flagship second only to gaming phones.
In addition to the Snapdragon 8+, the vivo X Fold+, which can claim to be the strongest folding screen flagship, is also comparable to the traditional candy bar flagship in other configurations, which is different from most folding screen phones that choose weakened configurations due to shape constraints.
The biggest difference is firstly reflected in the fingerprint unlocking solution. The vivo X Fold+ adopts the fingerprint solution under the dual-screen dual-ultrasonic screen. Compared with competing products that still use side fingerprints, the advantage is not too great, even from the fingerprint From the perspective of unlocking, even the vast majority of candy bar flagships cannot be compared with vivo X Fold+.
In addition, vivo X Fold+ also has first-class camera capabilities. After all, vivo is currently the leading camera manufacturer among domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
Like the previous generation, vivo X Fold+ still has a Zeiss optical lens and a powerful four-camera combination, which includes a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel professional portrait camera, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle main camera and support for 60 times Periscope super telephoto with optical zoom.
From the perspective of this four-camera configuration alone, the vivo X Fold+ has already been firmly in the front line of camera capabilities. Of course, the specific shooting effect will be mentioned later.
In addition, the strongest name of vivo X Fold+ is also reflected in many other places, such as the 2K+ Samsung E5 screen that supports 120Hz and two 2365mAh batteries.
Overall, the name of the strongest folding screen of the vivo X Fold+ is indeed well-deserved, and the configuration in all aspects is truly top-notch in the industry. The only pity is that the conscience of the configuration makes the weight and thickness of this phone slightly conspicuous. One point is slightly inferior to competing products, but after all, you can’t have both.
software:
As an important factor that plagues the development of folding screens, software adaptation is one of the areas that vivo X Fold+ is focusing on solving this time. On the basis of the previous common APP adaptation, the optimization of financial and office apps has been added.
On this kind of APP, the actual experience of vivo X Fold+ is more like a small tablet, rather than a mobile phone with a larger screen, which also complies with the actual needs of users of folding screen mobile phones.
And the large screen of the folding screen also brings an excellent multitasking experience. Compared with the multitasking of conventional mobile phones, the folding screen mobile phone can completely display two complete APP interfaces on the current mobile phone interface.
In addition, the arbitrary hover brought by the excellent hinge also allows the vivo X Fold+ to display PPT or other office applications like a small notebook.
In addition to these features of the folding screen, origin OS also has an excellent performance on the folding screen. The adaptation of the interface and applications makes the experience of vivo X Fold+ also at a good level.
battery life:
Unlike the weak battery life of the folding screen in the impression, the battery life of the vivo X Fold+ is quite good, at least at the mainstream flagship level.
Two 2365mAh batteries bring an experience equivalent to 4730mAh. The optimized battery capacity density and internal structure make the vivo X Fold+’s battery life much better than the previous generation. In fact, the previous main machine of the editor is the vivo X Fold , It is also common to consume more than 15% of the power consumption of normal WeChat chats for an hour. In contrast, the actual experience of vivo X Fold+ has really improved a lot.
In the 9-hour simulation environment, the actual performance of the vivo X Fold+ actually exceeded my expectations.
The entire simulation environment is: no card inserted, WiFi is used, brightness is 50%, and volume is 50%. The simulation process is 4K online movie playback for 2 hours, game Golden Shovel War for 2 hours, off-screen music playback for 2 hours, and voice call for 1 hour. 1 hour, social software 1 hour, Douyin 1 hour.
A total of 7 hours of on-screen time at the front desk and 2 hours of off-screen time.
The remaining power of the vivo X Fold+ is 9%, which is not far behind most straight flagship phones.
In addition to the excellent battery life, the vivo X Fold+ has also been upgraded with a stronger fast charging capability. The current 80W fast charging has also reached the mainstream speed of the flagship mobile phone. In the actual test, the vivo X Fold+ was charged from 5% to 100% The % takes about 35 minutes, which is comparable to the official publicity data.
In addition to wired fast charging, vivo X Fold+ also supports 50W wireless fast charging, which is also ahead of many other flagship phones at this point.
It is worth mentioning that the vivo X Fold+ comes with a gallium nitride charger with dual Type-C ports.

As the flagship mobile phone of vivo, the camera capability of vivo X Fold+ is absolutely trustworthy. The rear four-camera combination and the Zeiss imaging system are firmly at the top level in the industry, and the actual proof effect is exactly the same.
First of all, in terms of color, the proofs of vivo X Fold+ are more realistic. Compared with the bright colors filled by other brands, the color tone of vivo X Fold+ is not enchanting or ravishing.
In terms of detail performance, vivo X Fold+ relies on the 50-megapixel main camera to capture most of the details of the picture.
In backlit scenes, the HDR performance of vivo X Fold+ is quite restrained, and the proofs did not lose their sense of reality because of HDR.
As one of the few mobile phones with ultra-telephoto at present, the zoom shooting effect of vivo X Fold+ is also top-notch among many flagships. At 5x, the details of buildings are still clearly visible, but at 60x zoom, the problem of hand shake is too much. It was too serious, so it didn’t produce a good effect.
0.6X zoom
1X zoom
2X zoom
5X zoom
60X zoom
In addition, vivo X Fold+ also has a super moon mode. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mobile Update launched an inventory of the best moon-shooting mobile phones on Douyin, and vivo X Fold is one of them.
Compared with other folding screen phones that “just scan the code”, the camera capability of vivo X Fold+ is obviously much higher. Although it is not the best one, it is also in the first echelon level among this year’s Android flagships.
Summarize:
The expensive price of folding screen phones is prohibitive for most users. After all, the price of one folding screen phone is enough to buy two or even three mainstream Android flagship phones. This also determines that the user group of folding screen phones is by no means Ordinary users are mostly older business people, and therefore, vivo X Fold+ provides more financial and office functions.
The editor also did not provide a display of game performance in the Review. Although the running score of 109W is very strong, but limited by the form of the mobile phone, the gaming experience of vivo X Fold+ is really not good. I believe that not many users will choose such a one. Mobile phone to play games.
In addition to these, vivo X Fold+ is of course a good enough mobile phone, and its configuration in all aspects is worthy of the term bucket flagship, which is absolutely unique among the current folding screen mobile phones.
Although the current folding screen mobile phone market is becoming more and more mature, manufacturers have not stopped exploring this market, and the selling points of the mobile phones they have launched are also different. Abandon the feel in exchange for a more comprehensive configuration.
The performance of vivo X Fold+ is indeed the most powerful folding screen mobile phone.
