Recently, there has been a flurry of news surrounding the vivo X Fold3 series, with the latest leak suggesting a reveal date of March 26th for the launch event.
While this timing hasn't been officially confirmed, judging by the release timeline of the previous two generations, it's likely that the official announcement will come around the end of March, with the launch event slated for mid-April. The leaked date online might just align with vivo's official announcement.
Apart from the much-anticipated foldable phone, rumors are circulating that vivo will also simultaneously unveil brand-new earphones and a tablet product.
According to reports, vivo is set to unveil its lineup including the thinnest and lightest Snapdragon 8G2 foldable phone, the most versatile Snapdragon 8G3 foldable phone, the performance powerhouse Dimensity 9300 large tablet, and the high-value HiFi TWS earphones by the end of this month.
Additionally, AnTuTu has officially disclosed information about a new vivo folding screen phone with the model number V2337A. It's now known that the vivo X Fold3 series will consist of two versions: the standard vivo X Fold3 and the vivo X Fold3 Pro.
The standard version emphasizes thinness and foldability, while the Pro version focuses on imaging capabilities. The information released by AnTuTu strongly suggests that this new device is likely the vivo X Fold3 Pro.
This new device scored an impressive 2,176,828 points overall on AnTuTu, with the CPU scoring 471,878 points and the GPU achieving an even higher score of 893,816 points. The MEM and UX scores were 464,490 and 346,644 points, respectively.
AnTuTu officials stated that based on current backend data, the overall performance of the vivo X Fold3 Pro is comparable to conventional Snapdragon 8 Gen3 flagship models. In the realm of foldable phones, its performance undoubtedly ranks among the highest scores, setting a new benchmark.
Recently, official media released a series of stunning photographs of Antarctic scenery captured using the vivo X Fold3 Pro folding screen smartphone. Not only did it capture breathtaking images, but it also performed exceptionally well in the extreme low-temperature environment of Antarctica.
From these samples, it's evident that the imaging capabilities of the vivo X Fold3 Pro have significantly improved. According to leaks, the rear camera setup of the vivo X Fold3 Pro will consist of a 50-megapixel main sensor OV50H, a 64-megapixel large-aperture periscope telephoto lens OV64B, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.
According to earlier leaks, the standard version of the vivo X Fold3 is expected to be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 mobile platform, featuring a 6.53-inch external screen with a resolution of 2748x1172 and an 8.03-inch internal screen with a resolution of 2480×2200.
Meanwhile, the Pro version will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 flagship mobile platform, with a 6.53-inch external screen at 2748×1172 resolution and an 8.03-inch internal screen at 2480×2200 resolution.
In terms of charging technology, the standard version will support 80W wired charging, while the Pro version will support 120W wired charging and 50W wireless flash charging.
In terms of pricing, there isn't too much information available at the moment. However, as a reference point, last year's vivo XFold2 was able to pack flagship performance into a slim body. It brought significant upgrades in terms of large screen experience, productivity innovations, Zeiss optics, and exterior design. It truly achieved the goal of being "all-powerful yet slim". It was available in two configurations: 12GB+256GB priced at 8999 CNY and 12GB+512GB priced at 9999 CNY.
