While Samsung is an established player in the foldable market, newcomers like Tecno are vying for a slice of the premium pie. But there’s another name to add to the list – Vivo. The Chinese phone giant is finally bringing its foldable tech outside its home turf, with the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro set to launch in India. 

Since the device has already been released in China, we have a good idea of its features. So let’s dive into the details of what to expect from this device when it launches.

1. India’s slimmest foldable

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro

The X Fold 3 Pro boasts a sleek, foldable design. Unfolded, it features a large, immersive 8.03-inch primary display with a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate for responsive touch interactions. When folded, there is a secondary 6.53-inch display that serves as your regular phone screen. 

Vivo claims the X Fold 3 Pro is India’s slimmest foldable at 11.2mm when folded (excluding the camera bump) and the lightest at 236g. The focus on portability is a welcome addition since some foldable can feel bulky in hand.  

Vivo is also touting its hinge mechanism, a crucial element in a foldable phone, for its durability and smooth operation. According to the company, it can withstand 438,300 folds, which translates to years of worry-free use.

2. Performance

Under the hood, the X Fold 3 Pro packs a punch. It’s powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, ensuring top-notch performance for demanding applications and multitasking. 

It is complemented by LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Software-wise, the phone runs Android 14 with Vivo’s OriginOS 4 on top. 

Additionally, the company is also highlighting the AI capabilities of the foldable. The handset will rely on Google’s Gemini AI for it and will introduce features like Note Assist, Transcript Assist, and Screen Translation, all powered by AI. 

3. Cameras

Regarding the camera, Vivo will bring ZEISS image optimization for the X Fold 3 Pro and the camera sensor configuration will remain the same.

The phone will feature a 50MP main camera with a 1/1.3” OmniVision OV50H sensor and an f/1.68 lens with OIS. It will be accompanied by a 64MP 3x telephoto module with an OV64B sensor (1/2”) and an f/2.57 lens, and a 50MP ultra wide-angle (119°) module with a Samsung JN1 (1/2.76”) sensor. The selfie cameras feature a pair of 32MP sensors (1/3.6”).

4. Battery and Other Features

Even though the X Fold 3 Pro is incredibly slim, it still packs a big enough 5700mAh battery that should keep you going for a day pretty easily. Charging it is pretty quick too with 100W wired support, while there’s also support for 50W wireless charging. 

Other features of the device include dual-SIM 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 7, NFC, IR blaster and USB 3.2 Gen 2 port. For audio, it has stereo speakers and Wireless Lossless Hi-Fi audio. 

Moreover, it features two 3D ultrasonic fingerprint readers (one under each display) and has physical Mute switches as well.
