Get ready, foldable phone fans! Vivo is prepping up to join the future foldable smartphone market in India, with the launch of its flagship X Fold 3 Pro.

More intriguingly, Vivo claims that the phone was co-engineered with the legendary camera experts at Zeiss, suggesting that some outstanding optics will be among its main selling points.

Previous leaks indicate that the X Fold 3 Pro had already received certification by BIS authorities in India under the product number V2330, so nothing can be clearer than its intentions to launch.

A Foldable Powerhouse, But at What Cost?

Vivo’s foldable flagship packs quite the punch under the hood, at least according to the specifications of the Chinese edition released in March.

We’re talking about the latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU from Qualcomm, together with up to 16GB of RAM and an amazing 1TB of storage space.

The X Fold 3 Pro’s folding display features an incredible 8.03-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 2K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 4500 nits.

When folded, you will still have a decent 6.53-inch outside screen to fall back on.

While these specifications are impressive, foldable phones aren’t inexpensive.

In China, the X Fold 3 Pro starts at 9,999 CNY, or approximately Rs. 1.17 lakh.

Indian pricing could be slightly different, but you can expect Vivo’s foldable flagship to carry a solid premium.

Foldable devices have been a relatively minor sector in India, with Samsung and its Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip series bringing it to the fore.

This would therefore escalate the competition and Vivo’s entry into that industry with a premium device, helped by its deep pockets and manufacturing capabilities.

While durability and software optimization are still concerns for all foldables, every new flagship generation overcomes the problems.

The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is apparently ready to offer the latest advances in folding screen technology while also sporting outstanding photo capabilities, thanks to the partnership with Zeiss.
