South Korean brand Samsung is likely to announce its first foldable phone on February 20 and it might be called as Galaxy Winner. Unlike the expected fold-in design as some manufacturers such as Samsung, the foldable phone from iQOO will fold out, keeping the screens on the outside. So, when folded, it will serve as a smartphone.
The leaked image shows the iQOO foldable phone with an edge-to-edge display. However, for now, there is no official confirmation on the existence of a foldable phone from Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO. According to the tipster, it could be priced above Rs.70,000.
Recently, Vivo had launched Vivo APEX 2019 with a unique design and top-end specs. The device comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner which has a scanning area that covers the whole screen.
