Alleged Vivo X Fold 3’s dimensions revealed
Chinese smartphone manufacturers are continuously pushing the boundaries of innovation in the foldable phone market. The latest reports suggest that Vivo is set to launch the Vivo X Fold 3, and it could potentially claim the title of the lightest foldable phone in the Chinese market.
Lightweight and Compact Design
The Honor Magic V2 currently holds the title as the lightest horizontally foldable smartphone, weighing 231 grams. However, the upcoming Vivo X Fold 3 is expected to be even lighter. According to a recent Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station, the device is rumored to have dimensions of 5mm when unfolded and 10.5mm when folded. Additionally, it is estimated to weigh between 220 grams and 229 grams, making it incredibly lightweight.
Potential Exclusions for Affordability
In another leak by the same tipster, it is suggested that the Vivo X Fold 3 may omit certain features present in the Pro model. These exclusions reportedly include the absence of a periscope telephoto camera, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and wireless charging on the standard X Fold 3 variant. This strategy may allow Vivo to offer the X Fold 3 at a more affordable price point, making it an attractive option for consumers looking for a lightweight foldable phone.
Launch and Specifications
Vivo is expected to hold a launch event soon to announce not only the Vivo X Fold 3 but also two other devices. The Vivo X100s and the Vivo Pad 3 tablet are also anticipated to be unveiled during the event. The X Fold 3 is rumored to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, while the X Fold 3 Pro will come equipped with the more advanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
With its lightweight design and potential affordability, the Vivo X Fold 3 has generated excitement among tech enthusiasts. As the Chinese smartphone market continues to innovate and push the boundaries of foldable phone technology, it will be interesting to see how the Vivo X Fold 3 performs in terms of sales and consumer reception.
Pricing and availability details for the Vivo X Fold 3 are yet to be officially announced. However, with its expected launch in Q1 of this year, consumers won't have to wait too long to get their hands on this potentially groundbreaking device.
