Once upon a time, smartphone and camera makers like Samsung, Polaroid, Sony, and Nikon tried to make an Android camera. Well, if they could travel into the future, they would have seen there’s no need for that. These days, smartphone makers are turning their flagship phones into pro-grade cameras. Case […]
We haven’t featured iQOO in quite a while, and it seems it has now taken on a life of its own. Initially, I believe, it was a model under the Vivo brand, but it has since grown into an independent brand, still under Vivo’s umbrella. The last time we talked […]
On October 14, Vivo took the stage to unveil the X200 series—a follow-up to its imaging flagship smartphone and a lineup that makes you wonder if there’s anything it can’t do. With three models to choose from, Vivo packs each with cutting-edge features, Zeiss-tuned cameras, and chip-tech wizardry—all for the […]
We mainly focus on flagship devices from Vivo here but there is always an exception and today, the exception is this: the new Vivo S19 Series that was revealed in China last week. The Vivo S19 Series and the many devices that emerged from China in recent months showcased the […]
We may have failed to mention that the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro announced last December are AI phones imbued with a Large Language Model (LLM) called BlueLM. These handsets, which are powered by a Dimensity 9300 tuned for the Vivo X100 series, work in sync with Vivo’s self-developed BlueCrystal […]

There is a trend among Chinese handset makers in recent years and that is taking tablets seriously. I believe it started when Xiaomi “returns to the tablet market”. When I said “taking tablets seriously”, it means giving the tablets what they deserved: flagship specs and features.
The Vivo X Fold2 may be the flagship of the flagships but it is the first vertically folding phone, the Vivo X Flip that has our full attention. Why? Because it is Vivo’s first flip-style folding device and it has an enormous secondary display that begs for attention.
As expected, yesterday, the Chinese handset maker Vivo revealed its 2nd-generation folding and third folding phone model Vivo X Fold2 featuring ZEISS optics. The new Vivo X Fold2 boasts a lightened design, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, and 120 W fast charging (and 50 W wireless charging).
