Vivo may be experimenting with fresh form factors in the foldable smartphone space. According to recent reports, the company is exploring a more compact "wide foldable" device that could make its debut in 2027.

While many standard book-style foldables rely on taller, narrower cover displays, a wider aspect ratio could provide a more natural, passport-style experience when closed. Combining that profile with a more compact build could make large-screen foldables significantly easier to hold, carry, and pocket.

With a reported target year of 2027, the concept is likely in its early stages of development. As with any long-term hardware plans, hardware specifications, designs, and release roadmaps may shift before an official announcement.
