Introduction: vivo X Fold3 Pro Comprehensive Review

Mo Hen Wed, Apr 03 2024 09:13 AM EST

When foldable screen phones first emerged, people often associated them with bulky forms. However, with advancing technology and innovative design, foldable phones have gradually shed this stereotype and moved towards a more lightweight and portable direction.

Yet, most smartphone manufacturers, in their quest to achieve extreme thinness with large foldables, had to compromise on hardware specifications, such as cutting off wireless charging modules, LTPO screens, screen fingerprints, or long-range zoom capabilities.

However, this approach of sacrificing hardware features for thinness does not apply to the vivo X Fold series. Vivo's motto is to be both thin and versatile. Therefore, in the new generation X Fold product line, there are no compromises on any specifications. Instead, there is a continuous enhancement of features.

With features like large bottom periscope camera, main camera, dual LTPO screens, dual ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, third-generation Snapdragon 8 for large foldables, Samsung's E7 large screen, industry-first semi-solid-state battery technology, 120W dual-core flash charging + 50W wireless flash charging...

Among these configurations and technologies, none compromises on thinness. The new generation vivo foldable, the vivo X Fold3 Pro, with such a plethora of top-notch technologies and flagship configurations, is truly the epitome of a thin and versatile large foldable to date.

  1. Vivo X Fold3 Pro debuts the third generation Snapdragon 8 Mobile Platform in foldable phones, boasting the most powerful Qualcomm chip currently available. With 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS4.0 storage, it forms the most formidable performance triangle in the foldable phone arena.

  2. Dubbed the "Image Thanos" in the realm of foldable phones, Vivo fearlessly employs a main camera coupled with a periscope telephoto lens, a configuration rarely seen due to its demanding internal stacking requirements. The X Fold3 Pro's main camera features a custom OV50H sensor, while the periscope lens utilizes a 64-megapixel OV64B sensor, combined with the V3 imaging chip, creating a comprehensive imaging powerhouse in a slim foldable design.

  3. Setting a new standard in display technology, the Vivo X Fold3 Pro boasts the industry's most powerful screen with the debut of the Samsung E7 emitting material. Achieving a leading peak brightness of 4500nits, this brightness index positions it at the forefront of foldable screen smartphones.

  4. Pioneering the industry, Vivo introduces its proprietary semi-solid-state battery technology with the X Fold3 Pro. By integrating solid-state electrolytes into liquid electrolytes, it constructs an efficient ion-conducting network. This innovative approach ensures stable discharge even in extremely low temperatures, providing users with reliable and long-lasting power support, even in the harsh conditions of Antarctica.

  5. Despite integrating numerous top-tier luxury features, the Vivo X Fold3 Pro still prioritizes a slim and lightweight design. With a folded thickness of 11.2mm, an unfolded thickness of 5.2mm, and a weight of 236g, the X Fold3 Pro squeezes into the top tier of large foldable devices in terms of slimness and lightweight design.

Here are the detailed specifications of the Vivo X Fold3 Pro:
