Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Teardown: Carbon Fiber Hinge, Dual Motherboard, Split Battery

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has garnered significant attention in the realm of foldable phones due to its impressive thinness and functionality. WekiHome recently conducted a teardown video to unveil the intricate engineering behind this innovative device.

Innovative Design Revealed

Upon disassembling the phone, it was discovered that the back cover, despite its thinness, is crafted from a durable reinforced fiber composite. Beneath this layer lies a substantial copper foil sheet acting as a thermal conductor to maintain coolness during heavy usage. A Qualcomm ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, situated below the copper foil, ensures secure unlocking.

Marvels of the Motherboard

The motherboard of the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro showcases a dual-stacked layout to accommodate the triple camera system. Additionally, a unique plastic cover not only safeguards the cameras but also acts as a central hub for various components such as the flash cable, microphone, ambient light sensor, and laser focus module. Detailed shots of the camera elements and sample photos highlight the device's imaging capabilities.

Power-packed Performance

Delving further, the teardown reveals the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip at the core of the motherboard, complemented by Samsung’s LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Vivo's V3 imaging chip also plays a crucial role. To prevent overheating, a copper vapor chamber positioned beneath the motherboard efficiently dissipates heat.

Unveiling Key Components

The teardown also showcases the speakers, microphones, and vibration motor, along with the dual-cell 5,700mAh silicone anode battery cleverly split into two 2,850mAh cells for optimal space utilization. A standout feature is the lightweight carbon fiber hinge, weighing less than 15 grams, which significantly contributes to the phone's sleek and thin design.
