Vivo unveiled the Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro in China, both promising to be the thinnest foldable phones ever, blowing away the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Google Pixel Fold 2
The Vivo X Fold 3 measures only 040" when folded and 018" when unfolded This is despite three 50MP cameras on the back and a 5,500mAh battery with 80W charging capability inside
Other hardware specifications of the base Vivo X Fold 3 are modest The base model has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a 653" outer display, and an 803" inner 120Hz screen
The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is slightly thicker than the standard model, at 044 inches folded and 020 inches unfolded But instead, it has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and a special imaging chip that promises a higher level of photo detail than the regular X Fold 3
The Pro also has a slightly different camera, with a 50 MP wide and ultra-wide camera and a 64 MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom The battery is also larger at 5,700 mAh and can be charged at 100W with a wired connection or 50W with a compatible wireless charger
The Google Pixel Fold 2's size was leaked in February and at the time appeared to be the thinnest foldable phone yet However, the Vivo X Fold 3 is almost as thick when folded as the Pixel Fold 2, but appears to be 02" thinner when unfolded
Meanwhile, both of Vivo's new foldables are significantly thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6's rumored size Samsung's next foldable will likely feature the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but will likely include all of Samsung's Galaxy AI updates
No word yet on whether the Vivo X Fold 3 or Vivo X Fold 3 Pro will be available outside of China We can only wait and see Vivo's plans for this device, but hopefully people in the US, UK, Australia, and beyond will get their hands on the thinnest foldable yet If we can test it, it could end up being one or two of our best foldable phone picks, if it lives up to Vivo's promises
