Vivo has introduced three new high-end hardware, one of them is the Vivo X Note.
The company has a thing for large displays lately. There’s the 8-inch Fold X, their first tablet with the 11-inch Vivo Pad, and this, the normal form-factor yet still enormous 7-inch Vivo X Note.

It goes without saying that it’s currently one of the most powerful and feature-packed Vivo phones on the market. The said 7-inch screen uses Samsung’s 5G AMOLED panel with a QHD+ pixel resolution. Like the Fold, it also got a DisplayMate A+ score.
The device features a sleek design with curves on the sides of the screen. On the back, we have a camera layout similar to the Fold. It holds a 50-megapixel ISOCELL GN1 sensor, paired with a periscope lens, a 12-megapixel sensor with standard 2x zoom, and a sharp 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens.
There’s also the ZEISS logo as a cherry on top as it has the lens maker’s Vario-Tessar technology with T* anti-reflective coating.
The internals is something to be expected. It’s powered by one of the best mobile chipsets today, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 from Qualcomm. It also comes with a dedicated Secure Processing Unit (SPU) and is cooled by a large vapor chamber.
For its size, Vivo could’ve gone with something bigger than its 5,000mAh battery, but I guess they didn’t want it to be heavier. It’s paired with 80W and 50W wired and wireless charging, respectively.
The Vivo X Note has a starting price of CNY5,999 (around Php49,100) for the 8GB/256GB, CNY6,499 (around Php53,200) for the 12GB/256GB, and CNY6,999 (around Php57,300) for the 12GB/512GB. It will be initially available in China with release details in the Philippines and other markets yet to be revealed.
