Samsung has been resting on years of delivering smaller updates for its customers in India. So, a new player (in the foldable market) like Vivo literally needs to reinvent the wheel to get a premium smartphone buyer's attention. After using the phone for several weeks, I can conclude that Vivo has not exactly reinvented the wheel with its X Fold 3 Pro. But it does take things to the next level, offering plenty of value and features compared to the competition. As feature-packed as it may seem, it's not perfect. Read on to find out why.
Vivo’s X Fold 3 Pro has a design which uses aluminium for its frame, its proprietary Armour glass for its cover display and glass fibre for its rear panel that results in a foldable that weighs as much as a regular smartphone.
Its hinge and displays work smartly together offering a design that’s not just slim and light, but also allows for an IPX8 rating for water resistance. The phone also offers true AOD mode which turns the phone in a table clock when not being used.
There’s plenty of raw performance that can easily match regular bar-shaped flagships and Vivo has also added a vapour cooling system to keep the phone cool when stressed.
Still camera performance is very good in all types of lighting conditions. The software experience has a few annoying niggles, but comes with the latest Android 14 base. Battery life is top-notch both for a foldable and a regular smartphone.
