Following the recent launch of Vivo’s latest innovations in foldable smartphones in China, international consumers are already seeing options to acquire the devices through various importers. The company introduced the high-end Vivo X Fold3 and X Fold3 Pro, as well as the Vivo Pad3 Pro. Furthermore, Vivo disclosed its intention to offer the V40 SE to a global market, featuring an impressive AMOLED screen coupled with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset.
The standard Vivo X Fold3 is priced at approximately 6,999 Chinese Yuan, which converts to around $970 USD, while the X Fold3 Pro—with its advanced hardware such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset—comes with a higher entry price of 9,999 Yuan or roughly $1,385 USD. The retailer Wonda Mobile has tagged the devices with the following international price points:
– 12 GB RAM/256 GB storage – $1,169 USD
– 16 GB RAM/256 GB storage – $1,239 USD
– 16 GB RAM/512 GB storage – $1,309 USD
– 16 GB RAM/1 TB storage – $1,469 USD
– 16 GB RAM/512 GB storage – $1,699 USD
– 16 GB RAM/1 TB storage – $1,859 USD
Delivery for the X Fold3 is expected to start around April 8, while customers interested in the X Fold3 Pro look forward to receiving their orders post-April 26. It’s important to note that Google Play Store will be installed on the Chinese versions sold through this retailer, and all orders will arrive with the seals broken due to this customization.
Intriguingly, a certification process suggests the Vivo X Fold3 might see an official international release in the future. Certification documents indicate that the model V2330, believed to be the X Fold3 Pro, has been approved for sale in Indonesia. However, this does not solidify a global launch; it points toward Vivo pondering over the potential for an international expansion for at least the X Fold3 Pro variant.
Adding to the excitement around Vivo’s innovative products, those interested in the cutting-edge technology of foldable smartphones are keenly observing the market for any signs of a broader global presence. As technology enthusiasts keep a watchful eye on these developments, the idea of such advanced devices becoming widely available sparks anticipation and eagerness among smartphone aficionados everywhere.
