Test summaryĪbout DXOMARK Audio tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone audio reviews, DXOMARK engineers perform a variety of objective tests and undertake more than 20 hours of perceptual evaluation under controlled lab conditions. However, our experts found that it could benefit from some adjustments. The Vivo also comes with an audio zoom feature that is useful in certain situations. Audio recordings were exceptionally immersive, thanks to an outstanding stereo wideness both in landscape and portrait orientations when unfolded, and offered a very pleasant and natural sound signature. The X Fold truly shone in recording, and while it was best with the main camera, results were good with the front camera and memo app as well. However, the tonal balance was inconsistent depending on content and volume, and while the stereo wideness was perfectly good, one could have hoped for even better. In audio playback, our experts were satisfied with a deep low-end rendition complimenting an experience that was as equally pleasant in music listening as it was in movie-watching or gaming. While it proved to be an outstanding device for recording -thanks to the sheer wideness of its stereo recordings - playback results were just above average, leaving the testers wanting more, considering the X Fold’s dimensions and price point. With a DXOMARK Audio score of 132, the Vivo X Fold performed well overall in our tests. Quite sensitive to microphone occlusions.SNR could be better in all apps used for testing.
