The next-gen version of the Vivo X Fold is expected to be released in 2025, but the delayed launch could give OnePlus’ upcoming foldable phone a serious competitive advantage.
The presentation of Vivo’s next-generation bendable phone, the newest member of the X Fold series, will be delayed compared to previous expectations, to the second half of 2025. This delay could seriously affect its competitive position, especially among manufacturers like OnePlus and Oppo, who are trying to gain an advantage with earlier releases.
The previous models of the Vivo X Fold conquered the market with premium innovations, and the new member of the series promises to be no exception. According to news, the new device will come with a larger battery, an improved camera system and the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, while some design elements, such as the Alert Slider, may return in a new form with a touch-sensitive solution. However, Vivo is now planning a single top model that combines the best solutions of previous series.
However, a delayed appearance can be a serious disadvantage in a rapidly changing market. The OnePlus Open 2 could be introduced as early as 2025, while the Oppo Find N5 could also act as a strong competitor, especially in the Chinese market, where the popularity of bendable smartphones has declined recently. The current OnePlus model is also available at a significant discount, which further increases interest in it.
While Vivo’s new device could be the pinnacle of technological innovation, the delay could jeopardize the momentum that previous models have given the manufacturer. The timing of the presentation will play a key role in whether Vivo can maintain its position in the premium bendable phone market.
