Vivo has launched a new smartphone in China, called the Vivo X Note. It sports a huge 7-inch screen on the front and is powered by Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. In this article, we will walk you through the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the Vivo X Note in Nepal.
Vivo X Note Overview:
Design and Display
As aforementioned, the X Note flaunts a 7-inch E5 AMOLED panel with a 21:10 aspect ratio. Yet, the phone is fairly slim at 8.37mm and weighs around 220 grams. However, the actual weight differs for the different color options. It’s also IP68 rated for water and dust resistance and has a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection on the front.
Likewise, it’s an QHD+ (3080 x 1440 pixels) resolution screen with DisplayMate A+ certification and a 120Hz refresh rate. The refresh rate is backed by LTPO 3.0 technology, which allows it to alter the refresh rate between 1 Hz and 120 Hz depending on the content.
Furthermore, the smartphone features a glass sandwich design. But Vivo has carved faux stitch marks and created a rough surface on the rear to give it a leather-like feel. A left-to-right elongated camera island with the Zeiss logo is also included.
