On March 26, Vivo will hold a launch event in China. At this launch event, the brand plans to debut a bunch of new products like the Vivo TWS 4 and the Pad 3 Pro. However, the star of the show will be Vivo’s latest foldable smartphone called the Vivo X Fold 3 series. The series will consist of a standard and a Pro model. Many details of both these smartphones are already available, so here’s everything that we can expect from the Vivo X Fold 3 series.
Design and display
While the overall visual design of the Vivo X Fold 3 series will remain quite similar to its predecessors, the brand has used “Armor Feather” body structure in the upcoming foldables that will make them quite tough, making them the world’s first foldable SGS five-star anti-drop certification. The hinge has also been improved to provide a longer life while causing less creasing of the foldable display.
The X Fold 3 Pro will measure 11.2mm when folded and 5.2mm when unfolded while weighing 236 grams. On the flip side, the standard model will weigh just 219 grams, making it lighter than the iPhone 15 Pro Max (221 grams), while measuring around 4.65mm when unfolded.
Leaks have revealed that both the X Fold 3 and the X Fold 3 Pro models will come with an 8.03-inch foldable OLED panel and a 6.53-inch OLED cover display. Both screens will support resolutions of 2748 x 1172 pixels and 2480 x 2200 pixels, respectively, and feature ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanners. Both the inner and outer displays of these devices will offer 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3000nits.
Performance
While Vivo has confirmed that the Pro model will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, there is no official word on the standard model. That being said, leaks indicate that it will debut with last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. The phones feature LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Both of these foldables will come with up to 16GB RAM, while the Pro model has been leaked to offer two storage options: 512GB and 1TB. They will operate on Android 14-based OriginOS 4. As for the battery, the vanilla model is said to house a 5,600mAh or 5,700mAh battery with 80W fast charging, while the Pro model will have a 5,800mAh battery that supports 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
If we talk about the performance, the Vivo X Fold 3 was recently spotted on Geekbench with an octa-core processor with a peak clock speed of 3.19GHz. It scored 2,008 points on the single-core test and 5,490 points on the multi-core test of Geekbench 6, which is quite impressive. On the other hand, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro was spotted on the AnTuTu benchmark with a score of over 2.1 million points, which will make it the most powerful foldable on the market when it debuts.
Camera
The X Fold 3 Pro is said to feature an OV50H OmniVision 50-megapixel primary camera, boasting an f/1.68 aperture. It will be accompanied by an OV64B 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, offering 3x optical zoom, a 70mm focal length, and support for telephoto macro photography. A 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera is also expected to be onboard, along with a 32-megapixel front-facing camera and a 32-megapixel camera on the internal screen. The brand has already shared a bunch of camera samples of the X Fold Pro.
The standard model is said to have a 32-megapixel on both the external and internal displays. While its rear camera setup could include a 50-megapixel OV50H main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), alongside a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera supporting up to 40X digital zoom.
Pricing
While no details about the standard model have surfaced regarding the pricing, a leaked promo poster has revealed that the Pro model will come in two variants: 16GB + 512GB and 16GB + 1TB, priced at 13,999 Yuan ($1,945) and 14,999 Yuan ($2,085) respectively.
