On the evening of April 11, vivo released its flagship blockbusters vivo X Fold, vivo X Note, and vivo Pad at the Spring New Product Launch. Among the three products, vivo X Fold is positioned as a professional foldable flagship and vivo X Note as a large-screen business flagship. Both new models see a combination of powerful performance and flagship experience.
vivo X Fold: vivo’s first foldable flagship
As vivo’s first foldable smartphone, vivo X Fold is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one that is equipped with the world’s first 120Hz E5 dual main screens. Both the inner and the outer screen are provided with 3D ultrasonic fingerprint modules, the aerospace-grade floating wing hinges, the UTG super tough glass, and support hovering from multiple angles. In terms of sound quality and photography, X Fold is installed with the super-linear speakers customized by AAC Technologies and the ultra-slim HD front camera from AAC Optics to deliver great images and a spectacular auditory experience.
vivo X Note: large-screen business flagship
Considering X Note’s position as a business flagship, AAC Technologies joins hands with vivo’s R&D and product team to give users a flawless extreme vibration experience accessible in daily and business scenarios and to improve the application efficiency via the customized RichTap® software-hardware-integrated haptics solution.
Ultra-slim HD front camera to find more fun and aesthetics in selfies
Foldable smartphones have attracted wide attention since their inception. Apart from screens and hinges, the attention of consumers also lies in the new photographing experience and imaging features of foldable phones. Most foldable smartphones of mainstream brands are now equipped with 4 to 6 cameras and the trend is moving upward. The pixels counts of front cameras have evolved from megapixels to tens of megapixels. Large apertures bring a better shooting experience in dim environments and high pixel counts allow users to capture clearer and more vivid images at will.
The camera of the vivo X Fold is also one of its highlights. To pursue a slimmer and lighter handfeel and clearer pictures, X Fold has put forward extremely high requirements for the stacking space of cameras and the imaging performance. To this end, AAC Optics has worked with vivo’s product research and development team to tailor an ultra-slim HD front camera for the X Fold. The camera hole is in the middle to achieve an extremely high screen-to-body ratio.
It is worth mentioning that it is one of the thinnest HD cameras among competitors of the same specifications sold on the market, which can satisfy the ultimate requirement of foldable smartphones for the stacking space and output artistic images that retain more details. Pictures taken in different scenarios are more natural and clear, allowing users to find more fun and aesthetics in selfies. Meanwhile, thanks to the special structure and multi-screen interaction of foldable smartphones, the front camera allows for more shooting modes and delivers a diversified shooting experiences to consumers.
Super-linear speaker to deliver the best loudspeaker sound quality
In terms of acoustics, both the vivo X Fold and X Note are equipped with AAC Technologies’ super-linear speaker boxes. The large amplitude makes the loudspeaker sound fuller with a stronger sense of hierarchy. It can output different effects in response to the scene and provide users with the best auditory experience.
The vivo X Fold applies AAC Technologies’ ultra-large-amplitude speakers to deliver an even more outstanding auditory performance. With an amplitude of 0.65mm, the speaker can deliver stronger and more stunning bass performance in movies, music, and games. The commonly seen deficiency of treble on mobile phones has been improved to enable more sonorous and clearer sound details. These features offer a solid hardware foundation for the X Fold to have outstanding stereo loudspeaker sound quality regardless of being folded or unfolded.
Large X-axis linear actuator to realize a flagship vibration experience
In addition, the large-screen business flagship vivo X Note applies AAC Technologies’ RichTap® software-hardware-integrated haptics solution to give users a flawless flagship vibration experience.
The large X-axis linear actuator of AAC Technologies installed on the vivo X Note boasts a volume of 316mm³ and a response time as short as 5ms after being tuned by RichTap®. The response is faster and the vibrations are shorter. The power but non-interfering vibration makes sure that users will barely miss any important message even in a noisy business environment. Meanwhile, the X-axis linear actuator tuned with the RichTap® haptics solution can not only accurately reflect different tapping effects of many input methods, but can restore the sense of immersion in games like Game for Peace, Anipop, and Revelation. The charm of the actuator can be released to the maximum extent.
