    An IMEI database listing that emerged in December revealed that the forthcoming Vivo X Fold 3 has the V2303A model number.

While the listing remains silent on key specifications, it signifies an important hurdle cleared for the phone’s launch.

    Affordable foldable phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset

    Multiple leaks have claimed that the Vivo X Fold 3 will be an affordable foldable phone that will lack some of the premium features like an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, wireless charging, and a periscope telephoto camera, which are said to be exclusively available on the X Fold 3 Pro.

    According to reports, the Vivo X Fold 3 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The device may pack a 5,600mAh battery, which may support 80W fast charging. At present, there is no clear information about the internal and external displays of the phone. However, it is expected to feature a 50-megapixel OV50H primary camera with OIS support. It is also being said that it will be a lightweight foldable phone that weighs around 220 grams.
