Vivo’s rearmost Android foldables come in two kinds. First, there’s the standard X Fold 3 which has a fairly domestic package. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2,6.53-inch external display, 8.03-inch inner 120Hz display, and a bare10.2 mm profile when folded up. It also packs a 5,500 mAh battery in that size, which is emotional in itself. It also comes with a triad of 50MP cameras on the reverse.
But the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro really pushes the limits then.
The company’s flagship galère has the same displays as the lower model but replaces the chip under the hood with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and it’s paired with a special imaging chip from Vivo. The cameras then include 50MP wide and ultrawide cameras, as well as a 64MP blowup lens at 3x.
The battery is also upgraded to 5,700 mAh, which is well beyond what utmost regular smartphones can carry currently, so it’s indeed more emotional in a galère. That redundant battery does come with a thicker body, however, at 11.2 mm folded. And it also does that while importing much lower than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Google Pixel Fold at a bare 236g. It also features IPX8 water resistance.
Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro are available for order now in China starting at ¥ 6,999 for the 3’s 12GB/ 256 GB variant. The Pro starts at ¥ 9,999 for 16GB/ 512 GB. Both biases are available in black and white colors.
It’s unclear when the two foldables will make their way to global requests.
