Vivo X Fold 3 Pro — top specs, features, India price, everything else to know

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has officially launched in India as the first foldable phone from Vivo — the top smartphone player today in terms of shipment volumes. Basking in the success of the Vivo X100 Pro, Vivo has taken a huge leap of faith, some might say. Not only is the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, its first foldable in India, it is also the most expensive phone it has ever launched in the country. Unlike OnePlus that undercut Samsung in pricing with the OnePlus Open, Vivo has gone above and beyond, in both raw specs as well as the asking price.

Vivo is targeting white caller buyers mostly and is hoping some of its X-series loyalists would translate into early adopters as well. Spec-wise, it is offering the most high-end hardware you could ever imagine on a device of this class. Even the cameras have received great care and attention—and the ZEISS magic. The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is launching at a very strategic time. In a month from now, Samsung will release the next batch of foldable devices—Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6/Galaxy Z Flip 6—upping the ante with its own latest and greatest. The one month gap should be enough for Vivo to introduce its product in the market, before the ultimate showdown. With very few players doing foldable phones in the Indian market, a new entrant is a welcome sight.

Here’s a quick rundown on the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro’s top specs, features, and more:

1. Design: The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is billed as “India’s slimmest foldable phone.” It measures 11.2 mm when folded and weighs around 236 grams. The body of the phone is made of proprietary armour glass, which extends on to the cover screen. Vivo claims the cover glass material provides 11 times more drop resistance compared to standard glass. Unlike many other foldable devices, Vivo is using carbon fibre in the hinge which makes it both slim and durable. It is built to withstand 100 folds daily for 12 years while allowing for “multi-angle tree hovering” between 60 to 120 degrees. The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has an IPX8 rating as well.
2. Displays: Obviously, the phone has two displays. It has an 8.03-inch inner folding display with a 2,480 x 2,200 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 4,500 nits peak brightness. The 6.53-inch cover display matches these specs. Both screens include ultrasonic fingerprint readers for security.
3. Processor: Powering the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
4. Memory: The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro comes in only one memory configuration in India—16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB of UFS4.0 storage.
