Vivo X Fold 4 to feature side-mounted fingerprint sensor

Vivo is set to launch its latest foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold 4, in the second quarter of this year. According to leaks, the device will feature significant design changes compared to its predecessors.

Vivo X Fold 4 to ditch in-screen fingerprint sensor

Unlike previous Vivo foldable phones, which had dual in-screen fingerprint sensors, the X Fold 4 is expected to come with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Earlier models, like the X Fold and X Fold+, used optical in-screen sensors, while the X Fold 2 introduced an ultrasonic scanner.

The switch to a side-mounted sensor is reportedly aimed at making the phone thinner, potentially achieving a slim 8mm profile.

Rumored Specifications

Leaks suggest the Vivo X Fold 4 will pack impressive hardware, including:

• 6,000mAh battery with wireless charging
• Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for powerful performance
• IPX8 water resistance for added durability
• Triple 50MP camera setup (main, ultra-wide, and periscope telephoto with 3x zoom)

Vivo is not the only company making this shift. Other brands like Oppo, Honor, and Huawei are also expected to adopt side-mounted fingerprint sensors in their upcoming foldable smartphones.

With these upgrades, the Vivo X Fold 4 is shaping up to be a powerful and sleek foldable device, offering users better battery life, camera performance, and durability.
