In addition, the brand is also said to be working on the Vivo X100 Ultra and Vivo X100s smartphones. A recent leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, has revealed the launch timeframe of some of these devices.
According to DCS, the Vivo X Fold 3 series and the Vivo Pad 3 lineup will be announced by late March. Reports have revealed that the X Fold lineup will include two models, such as the Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro. Both models are said to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, respectively.
Next-Generation Devices Expected Soon
On the other hand, the Vivo Pad 3 lineup may include two models, such as the Vivo Pad 3 and Pad 3 Pro. The standard model is expected to feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, whereas the Pro variant is likely to arrive as the first tablet powered by the Dimensity 9300 chipset. It is said that the rumored iQOO Pad 2 tablet for the Chinese market would be a rebranded version of the Vivo Pad 3 or Pad 3 Pro.
Launch Details and Speculations
In the comments section of the Weibo post, DCS also mentioned that the rumored Vivo X100s will not launch in March. This indicates that the X100s could be debuting in the second quarter of the year.
A recent leak claimed that the Vivo X100 Ultra would debut by late April. Hence, it is likely that the Vivo X100s may launch alongside the X100 Ultra. For those who don’t know, the X100s may debut as the world’s first smartphone powered by the Dimensity 9300+ chipset. At present, there is no clarity on whether any of these devices will be launched outside of China.
