Getting a deeper dive into those displays, upfront the cover display is a 6.53-inch AMOLED display. We got a punch hole at the top for the selfie shooter. This display supports a 120Hz of refresh rate. Unfolding the device we are treated with a wide, 8.03-inch LTPO 2 AMOLED display. The display can slow down up to 1Hz because of its LTPO tech. Both the display on the Vivo X Fold supports HDR10+ and both are equipped with an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
