This highly anticipated event is expected to showcase several new products, including the Vivo Pad 3 tablet featuring the Dimensity 9300 chip, the Vivo X100s with a flat-screen design, and the Vivo X Fold 3 series of foldable phones. Recently, tipster Digital Chat Station took to Weibo to provide some insights into what we can expect from the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro.
Key Specifications of Vivo X Fold 3 (Rumored)
According to the leak, the Vivo X Fold 3 will come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. In contrast, reports suggest that the X Fold 3 Pro will feature the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
The engineering prototype of the X Fold 3, as mentioned by the tipster, does not include a 64-megapixel OV64B periscope telephoto camera. However, the X Fold 3 Pro is rumored to have a triple camera system consisting of a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support, an ultra-wide lens, and the aforementioned OV64B periscope camera.
The Vivo X Fold 3 will not feature certain capabilities found in the Pro variant, such as an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and 50W wireless charging. It is expected to be lighter and more affordable compared to its Pro counterpart. Previous leaks by the same source indicated that the Pro variant will integrate an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor into its outer display and inner foldable screen. While the battery size of the X Fold 3 is currently unknown, it is anticipated to support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
As for the display, the Pro variant will boast an inner LTPO panel with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, there is no information available at the moment regarding the outer and inner displays of the non-Pro model.
Overall, the Vivo X Fold 3 is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the foldable phone market. With its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and impressive camera system, it is expected to deliver a high-quality user experience. Additionally, its lighter build and more affordable price point may attract a wider range of consumers. As we eagerly await the official launch event, Vivo fans and tech enthusiasts alike are eager to see what else the company has in store for us.
