long story short
- The vivo X Fold 3 is said to be the thinnest and lightest foldable phone, but it packs top-notch specs.
- Sources claim that the phone will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 64MP 3x camera, water resistance and more.
A trusted leaker recently claimed that the upcoming vivo foldable phone may replace the HONOR Magic V2 as the thinnest and lightest foldable phone. Now, the leaker is back with an impressive specs list of the new device.
Digital Chat Station released the specifications of the vivo X Fold 3 Pro on Weibo, and the foldable phone looks powerful. Core specifications include Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, and a 5,800mAh battery with 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
We’re especially excited to see a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor here, as it’s not uncommon for foldable phone makers to use chips from the previous year.
The screens are said to be similar in size to last year’s X Fold 2 (8.03-inch folding display, 6.53-inch cover screen), but both panels are expected to have higher resolutions.
Vivo X Fold 3 Pro camera gets a boost

As far as cameras are concerned, the X Fold 3 Pro could be a significant upgrade over its predecessor. Digital Chat Station claims that the new foldable device will feature a 50MP OV50H main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 64MP 3x periscope camera (OV64B). We’re particularly pleased to see that the latter camera is on par with the OnePlus Open, and on paper is a massive upgrade over the previous device’s 2x 12MP lens. But that main camera will also be larger than the X Fold 2’s main camera.
Vivo’s foldable phone is also expected to feature a V3 imaging chip. The chip enables some nifty effects on the X100 Pro that rival Apple’s Movie Mode. Therefore, we expect the same features from the new device.

Other notable features of the vivo X Fold 3 Pro include an IR blaster, water resistance, ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensors on both screens, and a glass design. Water resistance will be new to the range, joining the ranks of foldables from Google, Huawei and Samsung.
The Pro model is said to come standard with the X Fold 3, with Digital Chat Station asserting that the device will offer a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a 50MP 2x telephoto camera, but lack wireless charging.
