Starting off with the design of the Vivo X Fold, it takes cues from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. The design concept is inspired by the Chinese concept of “Round Sky and Square Earth”. Vivo uses Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) for protection. As per Vivo, the multidimensional hinge of Vivo X Fold enables the phone to withstand over 300,000 bends.
