【Watch Midhunter】

Foldable smartphones aren't exactly new anymore – it's been three years since Samsung released the original Galaxy Fold – but Watch Midhunterthey're still exciting, mostly because we're all still wondering whether some smartphone maker can do something fresh with the concept.

Next in line to show us what it can do is China's Vivo, whose first foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold, will launch on April 11.

We don't know the device's full specs yet, but we now have a pretty good idea of what it'll look like, thanks to a teaser video posted by Vivo on Chinese social network Weibo. In the video, we see the phone folded, clad in what looks like blue leather, with a massive, Zeiss-branded, quad rear camera module on the back.
