Vivo X100 Ultra: A Q2 Release
As per leaks, Vivo is expected to unveil the Vivo X100 Ultra in Q2 of this year.
Although details are still shrouded in mystery, the device codenamed ‘Thanos’ is believed to be the X100 Ultra.
This ‘Thanos’ device has been the subject of speculation for a long time and rumours suggest it might feature a Samsung E7 AMOLED screen, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, a robust 5,000mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, and a versatile 50MP quad-camera setup.
The primary camera is expected to be a Sony LYT-900 sensor, a sensor also found on the OnePlus 12.
Vivo X Fold 3 Series Poised for March Launch
Apart from just the X100 Ultra, there is also buzz around Vivo’s foldable technology and its next offering that is being touted as the X Fold 3 series.
According to a Weibo post by Digital Chat Station, the lineup is slated for a March 2024 release.
This lineup is going to include the X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro and is expected to bring innovative technology to the forefront.
The standard X Fold 3, aimed at being a more budget-friendly option in the foldable phone segment, is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
Meanwhile, the X Fold 3 Pro, a more premium offering, is anticipated to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, alongside exclusive features like an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, wireless charging capabilities, and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera.
Vivo Pad 3: A March Debut alongside X Fold 3?

Rumours suggest this device might share the launch stage with the X Fold 3 series in March.
The Vivo Pad 3 is rumoured to be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor, accompanied by an 80W charger.
Its hardware prowess is further accentuated by a 13-inch display boasting a 3K resolution.
While these leaks provide an exciting glimpse into Vivo’s roadmap, it’s important to remember that early rumours should be approached with caution.
