Vivo is gearing up to launch two new foldables this week: the vivo X Fold 2 and the vivo X Flip. We’ve seen plenty of leaks, rumors, and even unboxings of these foldables in the run-up to the launch on April 20 in China. If you want to know everything there is to these foldables before then, a new leak is going all out with all the info.

Tipster Ishan Agarwal has leaked the entire spec sheet of the vivo X Fold 2 and vivo X Flip to 91mobiles. While the leak mentions nothing about a global launch, there’s still enough reason to get excited to see these foldables launch in the Chinese market. Note that these specifications are still considered leaks, and you should take all of them with a pinch of salt. The images are officially disclosed by vivo, though.
