Following the conclusion of the Chinese Spring Festival vacation, numerous phone manufacturers in the country, including Vivo, are poised to introduce new devices. Among the anticipated releases is a phone from the Vivo X100 series, speculated to be named Vivo X100 Ultra. Additionally, rumors suggest the launch of the Vivo X Fold 3 and a new tablet titled Vivo Pad 3. This lineup encompasses a tablet, a foldable phone, and an upgraded flagship device. Here’s an overview of the expected launches:
Vivo X Fold 3 Series
According to information from DigitalChatStation on Weibo, the Vivo X Fold 3 series is likely to debut in March, a departure from the April launch of its predecessor, the Vivo X Fold 2. The series is anticipated to include two models – the standard Vivo X Fold 3 and the more advanced Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. The Weibo post hints at an “all-round thin and light” folding phone, possibly denoting the Pro model, equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. In contrast, the regular X Fold 3 may feature the still potent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.
Apart from the chipset distinction, the Pro variant of the Vivo foldable is expected to offer exclusive features such as an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader, a 64MP periscope telephoto sensor, and support for wireless charging. Conversely, the standard X Fold 3 may opt for cost-cutting measures and come with a comparatively more affordable price tag.
Vivo Pad 3
In tandem with the Vivo X Fold 3 series, the Vivo Pad 3 is also speculated to launch, possibly in the same month. Rumors surrounding the Vivo Pad 3 suggest it will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor, supported by an 80W charger. The device might feature a 13-inch display with a 3K resolution.
Vivo X100 Ultra
Following the Vivo X100 and the Vivo X100 Pro, the Vivo X100 Ultra is expected to make its debut in Q2, 2024. Although not explicitly confirmed by the tipster, the phone with the codename Thanos is believed to be the Vivo X100 Ultra. The device is rumored to come with a Samsung E7 AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, a 5,000mAh battery with 100W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and a 50MP quad-camera setup featuring a Sony LYT-900 sensor.
As with any pre-launch information, these details should be approached with caution, considering their speculative nature. More concrete details are likely to emerge over time, providing a clearer picture of the upcoming Vivo devices.
