This particular model comes with 12GB of RAM, although multiple RAM and storage options may be available. The listing also states that Android 12 will come pre-installed on the device.
Vivo's next foldable model has also received 3C certification in China. This certification confirmed that the device will support fast charging, specifically 80W wired fast charging.

The LTPO panel is reserved for the main screen.However, the primary display will be an LTPO panel and will be able to operate from 1Hz to 120Hz. The tipster also mentioned a 4700mAh battery and an ultrasonic display. The phone will also come with a leather back and a periscope camera.
Note that the Vivo X Fold S will soon be official in China. However, we still don't know if this device will make it to global markets. Chinese OEMs are cautious when it comes to launching their foldable devices outside of China. This is one of the reasons why Samsung completely dominates the global foldable smartphone market.
Some Chinese OEMs are planning to launch their foldable devices globally and we hope Vivo will be one of them.
