Design
In prior reports by Gizcoupon, emphasis was placed on the “thinness” and “performance” of the vivo X Fold3 series, marking it as Vivo’s flagship folding product line. Specifically, the vivo X Fold3 weighs a mere 219 grams, with a single side thickness of 4.65mm when unfolded, making it the lightest horizontal folding screen phone. Its counterpart, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, weighing only 236 grams, also excels in weight and thickness control among folding products.
Moreover, this series introduces the innovative “armored back cover,” enhancing impact resistance by 15 times compared to its predecessor, achieving military-grade durability. Furthermore, the series employs an ultra-light carbon fiber keel, which is 37% lighter than a metal keel. It has successfully obtained double SGS five-star certification and passed TUV Rheinland’s rigorous 500,000-fold folding certification, ensuring utmost safety and reliability.
Display and Hardware
Performance-wise, the vivo X Fold3 Pro houses the third-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 flagship chip, coupled with LPDDR5X+UFS4.0 flash memory. The device employs an “ultra-wide-area intelligent cooling system” with over 20,000 square millimeters of VC+graphite heat dissipation area, ensuring optimal performance. Similarly, the vivo X Fold3 features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform with LPDDR5X+UFS4.0 flash memory, forming a robust “performance iron triangle”.
The vivo X Fold3 series features an 8.03-inch Samsung E7 AMOLED screen with a local peak brightness of 4500nit. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 8T LTPO, and 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. Moreover, the vivo X Fold3 series includes an X-axis linear motor, NFC, Wi-Fi 7, wireless lossless Hi-Fi, stereo dual speakers, three microphones, an infrared remote control, an independent mute button, and a side capacitive fingerprint for peripheral configuration.
Cameras
Moreover, imaging remains pivotal for Vivo’s high-end aspirations, with the vivo X Fold3 series exemplifying this commitment. Notably, the 64-megapixel Zeiss super-telephoto lens enables 3X optical zoom, 10X high-definition zoom, and an impressive 100X digital zoom capability.
In computational photography, the vivo X Fold3 Pro excels with features like telephoto city night scenes and SLR-level telephoto macro blur. It also boasts the pioneering folding first telephoto sunrise. For portraits, the vivo X Fold3 Pro introduces the Zeiss full-focus portrait master, facilitating portrait shooting at focal lengths of 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm. Additionally, it incorporates Vivo’s self-developed imaging chip V3, supporting advanced features like 4K movie portrait video and six distinct movie effect formulas.
Battery
In terms of battery life, the vivo X Fold3 series is equipped with equivalent 5500mAh and equivalent 5700mAh next-generation blue ocean batteries that both exceed the capacity limit of foldable screen batteries. It innovatively adopts second-generation silicon materials, micrometer-level laser array etching technology, and the semi-solid state battery technology first released by the mobile phone industry, which can also provide long battery life at low temperatures.
