The post Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones launched so far: Complete list appeared first on Gizmochina.

Foldable smartphones have evolved rapidly, and the Oppo Find N5 and Vivo X Fold 3 Pro represent the latest innovations in this space. Both devices push the boundaries of design, performance, and camera technology, but they take different approaches to user experience. The Find N5 emphasizes portability and productivity with stylus support, while the X Fold 3 Pro focuses on display brilliance and high-end camera capabilities. With a significant price difference between them, choosing the right one depends on individual needs. This comparison breaks down their key differences to help you decide which premium foldable suits you best.

Design and Display

The Oppo Find N5 and Vivo X Fold 3 Pro both feature foldable LTPO OLED displays with a 120Hz refresh rate, but they take different approaches to design. The Find N5 has a slightly larger 8.12-inch main display with Nanocrystal Glass for added durability, while the X Fold 3 Pro has a slightly smaller 8.03-inch panel but boasts an impressive 4500-nit peak brightness, making it one of the brightest foldables available. Oppo’s design emphasizes a lightweight build at 229g with a titanium alloy hinge, while Vivo opts for a carbon fiber hinge, making it slightly heavier at 236g.

Both have high-end cover displays, but the X Fold 3 Pro edges ahead with a taller and higher-resolution 6.53-inch cover screen. Meanwhile, the Find N5 supports stylus input on both screens, making it a better choice for those who need a productivity-focused device. Overall, Oppo’s lightweight design and stylus support give it an edge for portability and usability, while Vivo’s incredible brightness and refined hinge design make it more immersive for media consumption.

Specifications

Under the hood, the Find N5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm) chipset, while the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm). The 8 Elite has a newer architecture with a powerful 7-core CPU, but Gen 3 remains a strong performer with an octa-core setup. Both phones come with up to 1TB storage and 16GB RAM with UFS 4.0, ensuring fast performance.

Battery life is another key differentiator. The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro packs a slightly larger 5700mAh battery compared to the Find N5’s 5600mAh, but its 100W wired charging is significantly faster, hitting 100% in just 31 minutes. Both support 50W wireless charging, but Oppo’s 80W wired charging is slightly slower. Overall, if fast charging is a priority, Vivo’s superior charging speeds are the winner, though both will last a full day easily.

Camera

The Oppo Find N5 and Vivo X Fold 3 Pro both feature triple-camera setups, but Vivo offers higher resolution sensors. Oppo provides a 50MP main camera with Hasselblad color tuning, a 50MP 3x telephoto, and an 8MP ultrawide. Vivo, on the other hand, offers a 50MP main sensor with Zeiss optics, a 64MP 3x periscope zoom lens, and a 50MP ultrawide.

For zoom photography, Vivo’s 64MP periscope lens gives it an edge in detail and clarity over Oppo’s 50MP sensor. The Find N5, however, offers Hasselblad color calibration, which may appeal more to photography enthusiasts who prefer natural-looking colors. On the front, Oppo sticks to an 8MP selfie camera, while Vivo offers a much sharper 32MP sensor, making it better for video calls and selfies.

Vivo’s ability to shoot 8K video also gives it a clear advantage for content creators, whereas Oppo maxes out at 4K.

Pricing

The Oppo Find N5 is priced at around $1,500, while the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro costs about $1,999. This makes the Find N5 significantly more affordable, though it comes with slightly fewer premium features.

Given the difference in price, the Find N5 is better for users looking for a foldable with strong performance without breaking the bank. However, if budget is not a concern, the X Fold 3 Pro justifies its higher price with a brighter display, better cameras, and faster charging.

Conclusion

Both foldables have unique strengths. The Find N5 stands out for its stylus support on both screens, making it ideal for note-taking and creative work. It also has a more compact and lightweight build, making it easier to carry. Vivo, on the other hand, boasts the brightest foldable display yet, a 64MP periscope zoom for better telephoto shots, and 100W fast charging, which is one of the fastest in any foldable device. Additionally, Vivo’s dual under-display fingerprint sensors provide a cleaner look compared to Oppo’s side-mounted reader.

Overall, the Oppo Find N5 is a well-balanced, productivity-focused foldable, while the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is the ultimate flagship for those who want the best display and camera experience.

A smartphone with fast charging isn’t just a luxury anymore; it’s a necessity. You no longer need to plug in your phone for hours to refill it. Whether you’re constantly on the move, gaming, streaming, or handling business calls, a device that charges in minutes can make all the difference. But which smartphones truly deliver on fast charging in 2025? Let’s take a look at some of the fastest-charging devices available today.

OnePlus 13

The OnePlus 13 is among the quickest-charging phones you can buy, supporting 100W wired charging globally and 80W in the U.S. OnePlus claims the global version can go from 0 to 100% in just 36 minutes. If you prefer wireless charging, you’re still getting 50W speeds, which is impressive compared to most competitors.

Why does the U.S. version charge slightly slower? It comes down to voltage differences—most U.S. electrical outlets run at 110-120V, while many other regions operate at 220-240V, allowing for more efficient power delivery. Even with this limitation, OnePlus’ SuperVOOC technology ensures a rapid refill, and the 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery keeps you powered for longer.

Motorola Edge 50 Ultra

Motorola has stepped up its game in 2025, and the Edge 50 Ultra takes the lead in raw charging speed. Its 125W wired charging can take the phone from 0 to 100% in just 28 minutes—the fastest on this list.

The trade-off? A slightly smaller 4,500mAh battery, compared to the 5,000mAh standard found in most flagship devices. That means you might need to charge it more often, but with these speeds, that should hardly be a problem. It also supports 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

Honor 200 Pro

Honor is another brand that has made it to this list with the Honor 200 Pro. The device supports 100W wired charging which can allegedly fill the battery from 0 to 100% in 45 minutes. While that’s not the absolute fastest, it’s still among the top performers.

What sets the Honor 200 Pro apart is its 66W wireless charging—one of the fastest wireless charging solutions available. However, you’ll need Honor’s proprietary SuperCharging wireless charger to take full advantage of this speed.

Realme GT 7 Pro

If you want both fast charging and long battery life, the Realme GT 7 Pro might be the perfect balance. It comes with 120W fast charging, reaching 50% in just 13 minutes and fully charging in 30 minutes.

One of its biggest strengths is its massive 6,500mAh battery (global version). The Indian model gets a slightly smaller 5,800mAh cell, but both versions benefit from Realme’s power-efficient charging technology. If longevity and quick refills matter to you, this is a strong contender.

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro

Foldable phones have historically lagged behind traditional smartphones when it comes to charging speeds, but the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro changes that. With 100W wired charging, it hits 38% in just 15 minutes and 100% in only 33 minutes—incredible for a device with a 5,700mAh battery.

Wireless charging isn’t an afterthought either. The X Fold 3 Pro supports 50W wireless charging, making it one of the most versatile foldables when it comes to power management.

Conclusion: Which One Is the Fastest?

All of these smartphones offer incredible charging speeds, but if you’re looking for the absolute fastest, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with 125W charging takes the crown, reaching a full charge in just 28 minutes. However, if you’re after a larger battery with fast charging, the Realme GT 7 Pro’s 120W charging and 6,500mAh battery make it a compelling choice.

For users who want the best wireless charging speeds, the Honor 200 Pro’s 66W wireless charging is unmatched. And if you’re into foldables, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro offers a great balance of speed and innovation.

Ultimately, the best fast-charging phone for you depends on your priorities—whether it’s overall charging speed, battery size, or the convenience of wireless charging. But one thing is clear: in 2025, waiting hours for your phone to charge is a thing of the past.

The post The Best Book-style Foldable Smartphones of 2024 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Foldable smartphones have always pushed the boundary with design and next-gen models have offered impressive features. So now, here’s our pick of the Best Book-style Foldable Smartphones in India. These models are ultra premium foldable that launched in the region in 2024, so let’s check them out.

You can also read our Best of 2024 list for mid-range and affordable flagship smartphones as well.

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro: Best Flagship Foldable Phone in India 2024

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro debuted in India back in June 2024 and it is our pick for the best book-style foldable smartphone in India. Having used this device quite a bit, I was pretty impressed by the overall package. It has a hefty Rs 159,999 (roughly 1,885 US Dollars) for the 512GB option. It measures an ultra thin 5.2mm when unfolded (11.2mm when closed) and weighs 236 grams. This is pretty heavy but this isn’t surprising for its form factor.

The Chinese brand made impressive upgrades to the design with a carbon fiber hinge, reasonable width and heft, and a premium feel. Vivo X Fold 3 Pro’s primary screen is a tall 8.03-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2K+ resolution, and more, while the cover panel is a 6.53-inch has similar specs but with a 1.5K resolution. Under the hood, it packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for flagship performance and a massive 5,700mAh battery pack for great battery life. You also get 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging support.

So even if you take away the folding design, Vivo still offers true flagship grade hardware. While foldable smartphones bring a unique design, they are not well known for battery life or cameras. But the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has a decent battery life and the same camera setup as the Vivo X100 series. To recall, the X100 lineup is the brand’s last gen flagship phone. So the camera setup can hold its own against most devices in the market.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: Runner Up

Samsung is the runner up in this category with its Galaxy Z Fold 6. The South Korean tech giant is a veteran in this category and is the most popular brand for foldable phones. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 was relatively well-received but it only offered slight upgrades over its predecessor. So the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro took the spot as the Vest Book-style Foldable Smartphone of 2024.

As of right now, this model retails for just over Rs 152,000 but this is for the base 256GB option. So it is more expensive for a similar storage configuration. The Z Fold 6 packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, enhanced armor aluminum design, and even an under-display selfie camera on the primary screen. You can expect a well rounded foldable phone experience but the camera setup and battery specs are a slight letdown.

The post Best Book-style Foldable Smartphones in India 2024 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Foldable phones have evolved significantly, transitioning from a novelty to a serious contender in the smartphone market. With a growing array of brands and models available, choosing the right foldable phone can be daunting. Are you looking forward purchasing a new foldable phone? Here are seven key features to consider before making your purchase.

Form Factor: Flip or Fold?

Foldable phones come in two main styles: horizontally folding (book-style) and vertically folding (clamshell-style). Horizontally folding phones, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the OnePlus Open, provide a tablet-like experience when unfolded, making them ideal for multitasking and media consumption. Conversely, vertically folding phones, such as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Motorola Razr 50f, are more compact and pocket-friendly, prioritizing portability. Choose the form factor that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

Display Quality

The folding display is the heart of any foldable phone. Look for a screen that offers high resolution and pixel density to ensure sharp text and images, particularly important on a larger unfolded screen. Having a bright screen is crucial for outdoor visibility, and while the crease is inherent to current folding technology, aim for a phone where it is less noticeable and does not disrupt the viewing experience.

Hinge Mechanism

The hinge is a critical component that impacts durability and usability. Consider a hinge that opens and closes smoothly without any wobble or resistance, ensuring stability during use. Durability is paramount, so look for a hinge designed to withstand repeated folding and unfolding. It should allow users to open/close the device at different angles. For example, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 offers the “Flex Mode” feature, which allows you to use the phone at various angles, similar to a mini laptop, enhancing versatility.

Software Optimization

Software plays a crucial role in the foldable experience. Look for a phone with app continuity, ensuring apps seamlessly transition between the folded and unfolded states. Multitasking features, such as split-screen mode and drag-and-drop functionality, should be optimized for the larger unfolded screen. OnePlus Open’s Canvas Mode is the best when it comes to multi-tasking, as it allows users to open up to three full-screen apps on a single screen. Having a flagship chip onboard along with optimized software will ensure a buttery smooth experience.   

Camera System

Camera quality is another vital consideration. Look for a phone with a versatile camera system that includes multiple lenses—wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto—to cover various shooting scenarios. To name a few, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and the OnePlus Open offer an impressive camera setup.

Check for image quality features like optical image stabilization, excellent low-light performance, and high-resolution sensors. Additionally, some foldables offer unique camera features, such as using the cover screen as a viewfinder for selfies, which enhances your photography experience.

Battery Life

Foldable phones typically have larger batteries to support their expansive displays, but battery life can still be a concern. Look for a device with high battery capacity, as a larger mAh rating generally translates to longer usage time. While fast charging support is beneficial for quickly topping up the battery when needed, the phone’s processor and software should optimize for power efficiency to minimize battery drain.

In this area, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro shines thanks to its 5,750mAh battery, the largest on a foldable phone. It also supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Even the OnePlus Open’s 4,805mAh battery with 67W fast charging support offers an impressive battery life.

Durability and After-Sales Support

Given that foldable phones are an investment, durability is crucial. Look for water and dust resistance, ideally with an IP rating (e.g., IPX8) for protection against the elements. Additionally, check for a durable screen protector, as foldable screens can be more susceptible to scratches. Finally, consider the warranty and after-sales support offered; a satisfactory warranty and reliable service can provide peace of mind.

By carefully considering these seven key features, you can make an informed decision and choose the foldable phone that best fits your needs and preferences. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative and exciting foldable phones in the future.

A large 5,700mAh battery pack powers this model, which supports 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging.

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has entered the Indian market today, boasting cutting-edge foldable technology and powerful specifications. The smartphone first launched in China back in March this year. Let’s delve into the details of its price, available variants, and enticing launch offers.

Price and Variants

In India, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is available in a single variant with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. This high-end configuration comes with a price tag of Rs. 1,59,999 ($1916). While this may seem steep, it aligns with the premium nature of foldable smartphones.

It’s worth noting that in China, the phone is also offered with a 1TB storage option, but as of now, this variant has not been introduced in India. It remains to be seen if Vivo will expand the storage options in the Indian market in the future.

The Chinese variant of the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro comes in two configurations. The 16GB + 512GB variant is priced at 9,999 yuan ($1,380) while the 16GB + 1TB variant is priced at 10,999 yuan ($1,518).

The Indian variant is available in Celestial Black, while the Chinese variant comes in Eclipse Black and Solar White.

Launch Offers in India

To sweeten the deal for early adopters, Vivo has rolled out a range of attractive launch offers for the X Fold 3 Pro in India:

Instant Discount: Customers can avail a flat Rs. 15,000 instant discount on their purchase using ICICI, SBI, HDFC, AMEX, or HSBC bank cards. This significantly reduces the effective price of the phone.

Free Screen Replacement: Vivo is offering a one-time free screen replacement, which is a valuable perk considering the delicate nature of foldable displays.

No-Cost EMI: Buyers can opt for no-cost EMI options for up to 24 months, making the phone more affordable through monthly installments.

Exchange Bonus: Vivo is providing an exchange bonus of up to Rs. 10,000 for those who trade in their old smartphones, further lowering the cost.

V-Shield Protection: Customers can also get a 20% discount on V-Shield protection, adding an extra layer of security to their investment.

Availability

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is available for pre-booking starting June 6th, 2024, and will officially go on sale from June 13th. You can purchase it from the Vivo India eStore, Amazon.in, Flipkart, and select offline stores.

Additionally, Vivo is launching a 50W wireless charger priced at Rs. 5,599, which will be available from June 17th through the Vivo India eStore and offline stores.

Comparison with Chinese Launch

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro was initially introduced in China in March 2024, with a slightly different set of variants and pricing. The Chinese market had the option of a 16GB/1TB model alongside the 16GB/512GB variant, offering more storage choices for users.

Furthermore, the Chinese launch saw slightly lower prices for both variants compared to the Indian pricing. This discrepancy is often attributed to factors like import duties, taxes, and regional market dynamics. Additionally, the key distinction lies in the operating system, with the Chinese variant running on OriginOS 4, while the Indian version features Funtouch OS 14.

Quick Specifications

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro boasts an 8.03-inch 2K+ inner foldable screen and a 6.53-inch FHD+ outer display, both with 120Hz refresh rates. Under the hood, it’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, paired with Adreno 750 GPU.

The camera system includes a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 64MP telephoto lens. Dual 32MP selfie cameras cater to both the inner and outer displays. A large 5700mAh battery supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Conclusion

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has undoubtedly generated excitement in the Indian smartphone market with its innovative design, powerful specifications, and competitive pricing. The launch offers further amplify its allure, making it a compelling option. While the single variant and relatively high price might be potential drawbacks for some, the overall package presented by the X Fold 3 Pro is undeniably impressive. As the device becomes available for purchase, it will be interesting to see how it fares in the Indian market and whether it can carve a niche for itself among the growing number of foldable smartphones.

The foldable phone market is heating up, with both Samsung and Vivo vying for dominance. In 2023, Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 5, and just recently, Vivo countered with the X Fold 3 Pro. Both phones boast cutting-edge technology and innovative designs, but how do they stack up against each other? Here’s a deep dive into how the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro edges out the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 in several key areas.

Display

The X Fold 3 Pro boasts a larger main display. Its 8.03-inch AMOLED panel dwarfs the Z Fold 5’s 7.6-inch screen, offering more real estate for multitasking, gaming, and watching videos. Not only is it bigger, but the X Fold 3 Pro also boasts a higher resolution (2480 x 2200 pixels) compared to the Z Fold 5’s (1812 x 2176 pixels). This translates to sharper visuals and crisper text. The X Fold 3 also comes with a larger 6.53-inch cover display compared to Z Fold’s 6.2-inch display.

Both phones offer 120Hz refresh rates for smooth scrolling and transitions. However, the X Fold 3 Pro goes a step further with a peak brightness of 4500 nits, significantly exceeding the Z Fold 5’s 1750 nits. This advantage ensures superior outdoor visibility, especially in direct sunlight.

Design and Durability

Both phones boast improved durability measures. The X Fold 3 Pro utilizes a lightweight carbon fiber hinge certified to withstand 500,000 folds. Samsung claims the Z Fold 5’s flex hinge can handle over 200,000 folding cycles.

Both phones boast robust designs with water resistance (IPX8) and durable materials like Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for protection. The X Fold 3 Pro also features innovative dual 3D ultrasonic fingerprint readers for added security compared to the Z Fold 5’s side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Performance

The X Fold 3 Pro packs the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a generation ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy found in the Z Fold 5. This translates to better overall performance and improved power efficiency.

The X Fold 3 Pro also offers a higher RAM (LPDDR5X) option, with a 16GB variant compared to the Z Fold 5’s max of 12GB. In terms of storage, both devices offer up to 1TB UFS 4.0 inbuilt memory.

Camera

The X Fold 3 Pro features a well-rounded camera system with a focus on versatility. It boasts a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 64MP 3x telephoto lens for zooming in on distant subjects, and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor for capturing expansive landscapes.

The Z Fold 5, on the other hand, offers a more standard setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.

The X Fold 3 Pro also boasts dual 32MP front-facing cameras for high-quality selfies and video calls, compared to the Z Fold 5’s single 10MP front camera and 4MP under-display camera.

While both systems offer impressive image quality, the X Fold 3 Pro’s camera setup benefits from Vivo’s custom V3 imaging chip, which may result in improved image processing and overall performance.

Software

Both phones feature the latest Android 14 with custom UI skins on top. Vivo runs on OriginOS while the Z Fold 5 runs on One UI. The Z Fold 5 boasts improved multitasking features and S Pen compatibility, which the X Fold 3 Pro lacks.

Battery Life and Charging

The X Fold 3 Pro packs a larger 5700mAh battery compared to the Z Fold 5’s 4400mAh battery. This translates to potentially longer usage time on a single charge, especially for heavy users.

Additionally, the X Fold 3 Pro supports a blazing-fast 100W wired charging solution, significantly faster than the Z Fold 5’s 25W wired charging. Even wireless charging is faster on the Vivo phone, offering 50W compared to the Z Fold 5’s 15W.

Pricing

In terms of pricing, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro delivers significant bang for your buck. Starting at 9,999 yuan ($1385) for the 16GB/512GB variant, it undercuts the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5’s starting price of $1799.99 (256GB) by a sizable margin. Even the higher-tier 1TB X Fold 3 Pro comes in at 10,999 yuan ($1524), considerably cheaper than the top-of-the-line Z Fold 5 (1TB) priced at a hefty $2159.99.

Conclusion

While both the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 are impressive foldable smartphones, the X Fold 3 Pro comes out on top in almost every category. Its larger, brighter display, sleeker and more durable design, powerful performance, versatile camera system, bigger battery, faster charging, and additional features make it a clear winner in this head-to-head comparison.

If you’re in the market for a high-end foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is definitely worth considering. However, it’s important to note that it’s currently only available in China, so availability may be a limiting factor for some users.

The post Vivo X Fold 3 Pro India launch date & Amazon availability officially confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

India’s slimmest foldable

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.

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. 

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”).

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.

Price

The phone was launched in China for around 9,999 yuan (roughly Rs 1.16 lakh).  Considering import duties and market variations, expect the Indian price tag to fall somewhere under Rs 1.5 lakh.

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has taken the foldable phone world by storm, not just for its functionality but for its remarkably thin profile. But how did Vivo achieve this feat of engineering? Thankfully, the folks at WekiHome have taken it upon themselves to disassemble the phone and reveal its inner secrets in a recent teardown video.

The motherboard uses a dual-stack layout to house the triple camera setup

After removing the SIM card slot, applying some heat and prying it open with a tool, the back cover of the phone detaches. While thin, it’s constructed from a reinforced fiber composite, ensuring durability without adding unnecessary bulk. Peeling back this layer reveals the other side of the phone, dominated by a large sheet of copper foil. This acts as a thermal conductor, keeping the display panel cool even during intense use. Tucked beneath it, we find a second-generation Qualcomm ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for secure unlocking.

The journey continues with the motherboard, a marvel of compact design. It utilizes a dual-stacked layout to neatly house the triple camera system. But that’s not all! This clever design also integrates a unique plastic cover that not only protects the cameras, but also serves as a functional hub for the flash cable, microphone, ambient light sensor, and laser focus module. The teardown even provides close-up shots of these camera components, along with sample photos to pique our curiosity about their image quality.

Next, we dive deeper to encounter the powerhouse of the phone – the motherboard. Here, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip takes center stage, supported by the performance of Samsung‘s LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Vivo’s own V3 imaging chip also makes an appearance. But keeping all this processing power from overheating is an important task, entrusted to a copper vapor chamber positioned beneath the motherboard.

We also get a closer look at the speakers, microphones, and the vibration motor. The dual-cell 5,700mAh silicone anode battery, cleverly split into two 2,850mAh cells for optimal space utilization, is also revealed. Finally, the teardown concludes by showcasing the pièce de résistance – the lightweight carbon fiber hinge. Weighing in at an impressive sub-15 grams, the hinge is a big contributor to the phone’s remarkably thin design of the device.

On March 26, Vivo will hold a launch event in China. At this launch event, the brand plans to debut a bunch of new products like the Vivo TWS 4 and the Pad 3 Pro. However, the star of the show will be Vivo’s latest foldable smartphone called the Vivo X Fold 3 series. The series will consist of a standard and a Pro model. Many details of both these smartphones are already available, so here’s everything that we can expect from the Vivo X Fold 3 series.

Design and display

While the overall visual design of the Vivo X Fold 3 series will remain quite similar to its predecessors, the brand has used “Armor Feather” body structure in the upcoming foldables that will make them quite tough, making them the world’s first foldable SGS five-star anti-drop certification. The hinge has also been improved to provide a longer life while causing less creasing of the foldable display.

The X Fold 3 Pro will measure 11.2mm when folded and 5.2mm when unfolded while weighing 236 grams. On the flip side, the standard model will weigh just 219 grams, making it lighter than the iPhone 15 Pro Max (221 grams), while measuring around 4.65mm when unfolded.

Leaks have revealed that both the X Fold 3 and the X Fold 3 Pro models will come with an 8.03-inch foldable OLED panel and a 6.53-inch OLED cover display. Both screens will support resolutions of 2748 x 1172 pixels and 2480 x 2200 pixels, respectively, and feature ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanners. Both the inner and outer displays of these devices will offer 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3000nits.

Performance

While Vivo has confirmed that the Pro model will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, there is no official word on the standard model. That being said, leaks indicate that it will debut with last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. The phones feature LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Both of these foldables will come with up to 16GB RAM, while the Pro model has been leaked to offer two storage options: 512GB and 1TB. They will operate on Android 14-based OriginOS 4. As for the battery, the vanilla model is said to house a 5,600mAh or 5,700mAh battery with 80W fast charging, while the Pro model will have a 5,800mAh battery that supports 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

If we talk about the performance, the Vivo X Fold 3 was recently spotted on Geekbench with an octa-core processor with a peak clock speed of 3.19GHz. It scored 2,008 points on the single-core test and 5,490 points on the multi-core test of Geekbench 6, which is quite impressive. On the other hand, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro was spotted on the AnTuTu benchmark with a score of over 2.1 million points, which will make it the most powerful foldable on the market when it debuts.

Camera

The X Fold 3 Pro is said to feature an OV50H OmniVision 50-megapixel primary camera, boasting an f/1.68 aperture. It will be accompanied by an OV64B 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, offering 3x optical zoom, a 70mm focal length, and support for telephoto macro photography. A 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera is also expected to be onboard, along with a 32-megapixel front-facing camera and a 32-megapixel camera on the internal screen. The brand has already shared a bunch of camera samples of the X Fold Pro.

While its rear camera setup could include a 50-megapixel OV50H main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), alongside a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera supporting up to 40X digital zoom.

Vivo X Fold 3 series design

The Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro will likely sport a nearly identical design but with different internal components. New renders show a circular camera module placed in the top half of the back panel, unlike the top-right corner placement on the Vivo X Fold 2. The module houses three cameras, two LED flash units, and a ZEISS logo.

Reports suggest that the Vivo X Fold 3, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, will not only be affordably priced but also debut as the thinnest and lightest foldable phone. The Pro model, on the other hand, is expected to be the first foldable phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

Today’s leak by DCS reveals that the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro will sport a 6.53-inch OLED cover panel and an 8.03-inch foldable OLED display. Both screens will support resolutions of 2748 x 1172 pixels and 2408 x 2200 pixels, respectively, and feature ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanners. It will run on OriginOS 4-based Android 14.

The rear camera setup will include an OIS-enabled OmniVision OV50H 50-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and an OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered X Fold 3 Pro will offer up to 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, a 5,800mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, and the Vivo V3 chip.

At present, there is no clarity on whether any of these devices will be launched outside of China.

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro’s 3C listing reveals that it may ship with a 120W fast charger. Apart from revealing that it will offer 5G connectivity, the 3C certification has no other information about the device’s specifications.

According to a new Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro will also offer 50W wireless charging besides 120W wired charging. As far as the battery is concerned, the device may include a 5,700mAh battery.

The post Vivo X Fold 3 Pro receives 3C certification; charging, camera specifications leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

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.

Rumors continue to circulate about the upcoming Vivo X Fold 3 series foldable phones. These devices were recently certified by China’s MIIT. Now, a noted leaker, Digital Chat Station, has shared additional details about their potential specifications.

According to the leaker, the Vivo X Fold 3 series will come with upgraded screen resolutions. However, they haven’t revealed the exact resolution. The X Fold 2 already boasts an impressive 2K resolution inner display, so it’ll be interesting to see how much further this resolution will be improved.

Furthermore, the leak suggests that the devices will sport a 50MP main camera, which corroborates with previous leaks. Rumors hint that the rear camera setup for the Vivo X Fold 3 series may feature a 50-megapixel OV50H main camera with OIS.

The series is also rumored to include an ultra-wide lens and a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. However, the latter might be absent in the standard model.

Moreover, the tipster indicates that Vivo might be focusing on reducing the weight of these foldable devices. Additionally, the devices are expected to feature an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and support 50W wireless charging.

According to earlier reports, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro will be a premium offering equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It’s speculated to come with a 5,700mAh battery and support 100W wired charging.

On the other hand, the Vivo X Fold 3 is rumored to be a more budget-friendly foldable phone, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It’s expected to come with a 5,600mAh battery. 

As for the launch, Vivo is rumored to hold a major launch event in China in March. The brand could unveil its foldable at this event.
