Vivo is reportedly working on its next lineup of foldable phones, the X Fold 3 series. While there have been rumors circulating about these devices, a recent leak by Ice Universe has revealed an interesting feature of these foldables.

The tipster shared a set of images on Weibo allegedly showing the Vivo X Fold 3. The device appears to have noticeable screen bezels and a punch-hole camera cutout on the right.

The standard volume and power buttons are split between the right and left sides, respectively. And, as expected, the device also features an external screen.

While these are the expected features, something interesting the tipster showed in the leak is Vivo X Fold 3 displaying a macOS interface.

Vivo X Fold 3 Mac integration leak

Ice Universe suggests the foldable will be able to “remotely control Mac.” Another Weibo user, WhyLab, confirmed the authenticity of the leaked images and also backed up Vivo’s remote Mac control feature.

Details are scarce, but if true, this feature could be a major draw for Apple users interested in a foldable device. How Vivo has enabled this macOS-like experience is unclear – the feature could range from simple Mac screen mirroring to more advanced controls.

Regardless, the functionality makes sense for a foldable device, as the larger screen of a foldable would certainly be more conducive to multitasking compared to a regular smartphone.

Additionally, a separate leak from tipster Digital Chat Station reveals upgrades to the X Fold 3’s display.  

As per the tip, Samsung Display will reportedly supply internal foldable screens for both the X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro, with a higher resolution of 2480 x 2200 pixels (up from the X Fold 2’s 1916 x 2160). Similarly, the outer display is said to have a resolution of 2748 x 1172 pixels; up from  1080 x 2520 pixels on Fold 2.

Moreover, DCS suggests Vivo will use fiberglass material in the foldables, and the vanilla X Fold 3 will likely have a 5,600mAh battery.
