Since Huawei unveiled the Pura X View earlier this year, several Chinese smartphone brands, including Oppo, Honor, and most recently Xiaomi, have been rumored to be developing their own wide-screen phones. Now, a new leak suggests that vivo is also joining the race. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, vivo is targeting a 2027 launch for its first wide-screen candybar-style smartphone.
The tipster also claimed that vivo's wide-screen phone will likely feature a display under 6.5-inches in size. That's all we've been given so far. For comparison, Huawei's Pura X View features a 6.39-inch display, while Oppo's rumored Reno X wide-screen phone is said to sport a 6.35-inch screen.
This suggests that vivo could opt for a similar display size. More leaks should give us a better idea of what vivo has planned for its wide-screen phone ahead of its expected launch next year.
