  • Vivo X Fold inches closer to launch, secures crucial certification

    Vivo X Fold inches closer to launch, secures crucial certification

    Several reports indicate that Vivo will unveil the Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro foldable phones in the first quarter of 2024 in China. The series seems to be nearing launch, as a new Vivo phone, believed to be the X Fold 3, has received radio certification in China. This certification suggests an imminent launch could be on the horizon.

    Vivo X Fold 3 bags radio certification

    An IMEI database listing that emerged in December revealed that the forthcoming Vivo X Fold 3 has the V2303A model number. This same device has now appeared in the database of China’s radio certification platform. 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.

    March launch event with three devices

    As far as the launch is concerned, Vivo may hold a massive launch event in March in China. It may see the arrival of three devices, such as the Vivo X100s smartphone, the Vivo Pad 3 tablet, and the Vivo X Fold 3 foldables.

    Vivo Pad 3 Certified with 66W Charging on 3C

    Vivo‘s upcoming tablet, the Pad 3, has received 3C certification in China, hinting at its imminent launch. It is listed on the certification platform with the model number PA2473.

    Vivo Pad 3 3C certification

    According to the certification listing, the tablet will support fast charging at 66W. However, it does not mention any cellular connectivity support, a feature typically included in 3C certification. So its absence suggests that the tablet might be available exclusively in a WiFi-only variant.

    Limited information available

    Currently, there is very limited information floating about the Vivo Pad 3. Early reports suggest that the tablet will feature a 13-inch LCD display with a 3K resolution. Likewise, it might be equipped with a Dimensity 9300 processor, making it a flagship offering. However, other specifications remain under wraps for now.

    Rumors of other tablets

    Notably, the Pad 3 isn’t the only tablet Vivo is rumored to be working on. There are speculations about the launch of a new tablet under its iQOO sub-brand. The device, possibly iQOO Pad Air, has also recently received 3C certification with 44W charging support.

    The Vivo Pad 3 is expected to make its debut in China in March, alongside a bunch of other Vivo products.

    There are rumors that Vivo will unveil the Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro, and Vivo X100s smartphones alongside the Vivo Pad 3. To note, the X Fold 3 has already received approval from China’s radio certification platform.

  • Nokia and Vivo Strike a Long-Term 5G Patent Cross-Licensing Deal

    Nokia and Vivo Strike a Long-Term 5G Patent Cross-Licensing Deal

    Vivo and Nokia have announced a multi-year patent cross-licensing agreement, putting an end to their legal battle over 5G technology. This agreement comes shortly after Nokia settled a similar dispute with Oppo, another brand under the BBK Electronics portfolio.

    Vivo gains access to Nokia’s cellular technology patents

    Under the terms of the agreement, Vivo will gain access to Nokia’s foundational cellular technology patents. However, Vivo will be required to make ongoing payments to Nokia for the use of these patents. These payments will also include “catch-up” fees that will cover the period of the dispute. This agreement settles all outstanding legal matters between the two companies.

    Background on the legal conflict

    Nokia initiated a legal conflict by claiming that brands under the BBK Electronics portfolio, including Vivo and Oppo, were infringing on 5G wireless communication technology patents. This eventually led to a lawsuit, resulting in a defeat for these smartphone brands in court.

    As a consequence of the court ruling, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, and Realme had to withdraw from the German market. However, the recent 5G patent agreement between Oppo, Vivo, and Nokia opens a way for BBK brands to re-enter the German market. In fact, OnePlus has already started selling its latest OnePlus 12 and 12R models in the country.

    Quotes from the involved parties

    Jenni Lukander, President of Nokia Technologies, expressed her satisfaction with the agreement, stating, “We are delighted to have reached an agreement with Vivo which reflects mutual respect for each other’s intellectual property rights. We look forward to bringing more innovation to their users around the world through our collaboration.”

    Vivo’s General Manager, Xianwen Xu, also expressed satisfaction with the agreement, emphasizing the company’s commitment to research and development and providing users with high-tech products.

    Vivo’s return to the German market

    This agreement is particularly significant as it paves the way for Vivo’s return to the German market, which is a key market for the company. It is worth noting that this is Nokia’s sixth major smartphone licensing agreement in the past 13 months. The company has already signed deals with Apple, Samsung, Oppo, Honor, and Huawei.
