What else can we expect from folding screen phones?
Since the debut of the folding screen mobile phone, this new form of smart phone is constantly breaking through itself, through a thinner body, more powerful performance, so that more people can enjoy the dual experience of mobile phone + tablet on one device with the help of the folding form.
According to recent revelations, vivo will bring us the latest generation of folding screen flagships in March-vivo x fold3 series, and this year, vivo will also pass two folding screen flagships at one time to meet the needs of different users for folding screens.
Now there is still some time before the release of this phone, and we have also summarized all the news on the current network**, hoping to help you have a more comprehensive understanding of this new folding flagship.
Lighter and thinner standard version
The folding screen can be welcomed by more consumers, and it must be inseparable from the reduction of weight. From the earliest "more than half a catty" to the current straight board machine, folding screen mobile phones have also put weight reduction in the first place in the process of iteration.
According to the current leaks, the vivo X Fold3 series has two models, namely the standard version and the Pro version. Among them, the standard version is expected to be the thinnest and lightest large folding in the industry to date. At present, the lightest folding screen flagship in the industry is the Honor Magic V2, which weighs 231g and has a thickness of 99mm, which is similar to the weight of some imaging flagships. If you want to become the thinnest and lightest folding screen flagship at the moment, the weight of vivo X Fold3 may come to less than 230g, and the thickness may further exceed 99mm。
vivo X Fold3 line art It is not easy to become the thinnest and lightest folding screen in the industry so far, so vivo has also prepared a lot of self-developed technology for X Fold3. Previously, vivo has launched a thinner and larger capacity "Blue Ocean Battery", and it is believed that the addition of this technology is expected to help vivo X Fold3 bring more durable battery life while keeping the body thin and light.
The vivo X Fold3 standard version uses an upright telephoto and supports 2x to 40x zoom However, in order to achieve the lightest folding screen phone in the industry, the vivo X Fold3 also made some trade-offs at the beginning of the design. First of all, the phone doesn't come with wireless charging, which means it can reduce the thickness even further, and secondly, it uses an upright telephoto lens, instead of a periscope telephoto that many manufacturers use, so the image system area will be thinner.
From vivo X Fold to X Fold 2, vivo's folding screen strategy has always been "flagship first and then folding", and successive generations of folding screen products are creating a better experience by piling up fierce materials. However, starting from this generation, vivo has introduced the standard and Pro dual version strategy for the first time in the large folding series, through different configurations, to meet the needs of different consumers, which may further promote the popularity of folding screen mobile phones.
Among them, the vivo X Fold3 standard version corresponds to people who have a very high pursuit of "lightweight, thin and portable". It does not have the strongest hardware performance so far, but it has the thinnest and lightest body and a balanced user experience, and according to the current revelations, this standard version model is also a more affordable folding screen mobile phone under vivo, so this standard version model is likely to become a key step on the road to popularizing folding screens.
A fully pulled pro
As for the vivo X Fold3 Pro, it still implements vivo's strategy of "flagship first and then folding". According to the revelations, X Fold3 Pro is a quite "persuading" product, which has changed many shortcomings on last year's vivo X Fold2, and is expected to become a thin and light image flagship in the field of folding screens.
This time, the vivo X Fold3 will be the industry's first foldable flagship equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, while the previously acclaimed ultrasonic fingerprint is still retained. In addition, the vivo X Fold3 Pro is also a model with a standard blue ocean battery, its battery capacity is expected to reach 5800mAh, with 120W wired flash charging and 80W wireless fast charging, which can also greatly reduce the battery life anxiety after using the folding screen mobile phone for a long time.
For folding screen flagships, the screen is also a top priority. This time, the screen of the vivo X Fold3 has also been fully filled. Its inner screen uses a piece of 803-inch, Samsung E7 light-emitting material screen, the highest brightness is up to 3000nit, with 2K+ resolution, screen-to-body ratio of 918%。The outer screen is 653 inches, with 8T LTPO technology, the maximum brightness is up to 3000nit. In terms of parameters, the X Fold3 Pro's internal and external screens have the same brightness, which can also ensure that the display effect of the two screens is highly consistent.
It is worth mentioning that the screen cover of the vivo X Fold3 Pro has also been fully upgraded, its outer screen is made of stronger glass-ceramic, and the impact resistance of the inner screen has also been comprehensively improved, making it a more durable folding screen flagship.
In last year's vivo X Fold2, many users thought that the 2X portrait lens was not enough to be called a "flagship", and this year's vivo X Fold3's progress in imaging can be described as a "big leap". According to the leaks, the vivo X Fold3 Pro uses a more powerful triple camera system. The three lenses are a 50-megapixel OV50H main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 64-million-pixel OV64B 3X periscope lens, which is enough to cope with various shooting scenarios. At the same time, this mobile phone is also equipped with a self-developed image chip V3, which further improves the image processing ability.
It has been revealed that the image capability of vivo X Fold3 Pro has come to the same height as the vivo X100 series, and through this perfect image system and vivo's algorithm that has been deeply cultivated for many years, the image capability of this folding screen flagship is also worth paying attention to.
Write at the end
Since the beginning of this year, the popularity of vivo X Fold3 series has not decreased, especially this year, vivo has tried to attract more users with the help of the new form of folding screen through the double cup combination of standard + pro. Combined with the current revelations, both mobile phones have corresponding user groups and also cover different price segments.
According to the previous **, vivo will launch this product in late March this year, and we will also be able to learn more about the secrets of this thin and light folding imaging flagship through more details.
