The Vivo X Fold 3 is a foldable phone aiming to redefine the category with its focus on lightness, powerful performance, and a feature-packed camera system. Launched recently, it boasts the title of the world’s lightest foldable phone currently available, thanks to a combination of second-generation silicon materials and a lightweight carbon fiber hinge.
Unfolding a Premium Experience
The X Fold 3 unfolds to reveal a large 8.03-inch E7 AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. This main display features a 2K resolution and a whopping 4,500 nits peak brightness, perfect for enjoying HDR content or gaming on the go. A protective layer of Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) ensures the foldable screen’s durability. On the outside, a 6.53-inch AMOLED display offers a convenient option for checking notifications or one-handed use. Both displays offer a 120Hz refresh rate for a seamless user experience.
Power Under the Fold
The X Fold 3 packs a punch with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, ensuring smooth performance for demanding tasks and games. It comes with various RAM and storage options, allowing users to choose the configuration that best suits their needs. The base model starts with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, reaching up to 16GB of RAM and a whopping 1TB of storage for the most demanding users.
Zeiss Optics Capture Stunning Moments
The camera system is another highlight of the X Fold 3. It features a triple-sensor rear camera setup, with each sensor boasting a resolution of 50 megapixels. This versatility allows users to capture stunning wide, ultrawide, and close-up shots. The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro takes things a step further with a 64-megapixel telephoto lens, offering 3x optical zoom and the potential for near 10x lossless zoom. Both the standard and Pro versions benefit from Vivo’s collaboration with Zeiss optics, which enhances image quality and offers various filters and modes to elevate your photography.
Lightweight Yet Long-Lasting
Despite its focus on lightweight construction, the X Fold 3 boasts a decent 5500mAh battery. This, coupled with Vivo’s fast charging technology (80W), ensures you can stay powered throughout the day. The phone also supports wireless charging, making it even more convenient.
