Upcoming additions to Vivo’s innovative lineup of devices have been the subject of excitement, and the Vivo X Fold3 and X Fold3 Pro are no exception. Leaked promotional images on social media have provided a sneak peek at these eagerly-awaited foldable smartphones, revealing a host of details ahead of their official unveiling anticipated in March.
The promotional materials reveal the sleek design of the X Fold3 series, showcasing a slim profile rumored to be slimmer than Vivo’s previous X5 Max model at under 5.1 millimeters thick. Vivo seems to be targeting a design that combines lightweight construction with the functionality of traditional smartphones, although specific weight details are yet to be disclosed.
A standout feature for these upcoming devices is the IPX8 certification, guaranteeing they are waterproof and capable of withstanding complete immersion in water – a trait not commonly found in foldable phones.
Both the X Fold3 and X Fold3 Pro are set to impress with large foldable displays. An 8.03-inch main display with an astounding peak brightness of 3,000 nits is touted, alongside a 6.53-inch secondary display that also boasts the same peak brightness. Both displays will offer an integrated ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and the convenience of a variable frame rate, which adjusts the display refresh rate based on the content being viewed.
Camera capabilities are a highlight, with a trio of powerful lenses, including a 50-megapixel main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and an impressive 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera also equipped with OIS for crisp zoomed shots. It’s rumored that the periscope camera with triple zoom may be exclusive to the Pro model, whereas the standard model may include a 50-megapixel telephoto lens. Both models are expected to employ a substantial 1/1.3 inch sensor size for the main camera, further enhanced by Vivo’s V3 Image Signal Processor (ISP) and Zeiss optics.
The internal differences between the X Fold3 and its Pro variant reportedly lie in the processing power. The standard model is expected to carry the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset while the Pro model could advance with the recently speculated Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
Battery life is another area where these devices aim to excel, featuring a robust 5,500 mAh battery. This powerhouse can be charged rapidly with wired charging at up to 120 watts or wirelessly at a nifty 50 watts, ensuring users stay connected and operational without frequent recharging.
The leaked promotional images have certainly stirred interest among technology enthusiasts and consumers alike, eager for an official announcement that will confirm the specifications and showcase the full potential of the Vivo X Fold3 series. With these advanced features and specifications, Vivo is poised to make a strong statement in the foldable smartphone market.
