Vivo X Fold 4 is expected to arrive soon as a successor to the Vivo X Fold 3, which was unveiled in China in March 2024 alongside a Pro variant. However, the upcoming foldable is said to break cover considerably later this year according to a tipster who has suggested the expected launch timeline of the handset. Meanwhile, another tipster has hinted at the key features of the rumoured book-style Vivo X Fold 4 including its chipset, battery, charging and camera details. Some of these specifications have leaked previously as well.

The Vivo X Fold 4 will likely launch in China in the third quarter of 2025 according to a Weibo post by tipster Experience More (translated from Chinese). That would mean the phone could launch between July and September.

Another tipster Digital Chat Station (translated) suggested that the Vivo X Fold 4 is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. He claimed that the handset would be thin and "ultra-light." Notably, the preceding X Fold 3 comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and has a 4.65mm thin profile when unfolded while weighing 219g.
