It has been more than 5 years since folding screen mobile phones entered everyone's field of vision in 2019, although the discussion of folding screen mobile phones has always been very high, but it has not been popularized. The reason for this is nothing more than that it has not been recognized by consumers in several main dimensions, such as folding screen phones are too thick, the battery life is poor, or they feel unreliable to use. Perhaps the vivo X Fold3 series officially released today can break people's stereotypes of folding screen mobile phones to a certain extent, especially today's protagonist vivo X Fold3 Standard Edition, which is not only the world's lightest large folding, but also brings an unprecedented new experience in terms of reliability, image and performance.
The world's thinnest and lightest foldable with ultra-high reliability
As a foldable screen phone, "thin and light" is one of the biggest highlights of vivo X Fold3. The weight of only 219g is not to mention that it is placed in a folding screen mobile phone, which is not only nearly 60g lighter than the previous generation, but also lighter than some mainstream straight phones, and the thickness of vivo X Fold3 is only 4.65mm after unfolding, and the thickness of the mobile phone after folding is only 10.2mm, which is thinner than many straight screen mobile phones. vivo X Fold3 has really put a lot of effort into the appearance, completely subverting the inherent impression of the previous large fold in terms of form and feel.

vivo X Fold3 This time the overall design feels very simple, there are no cumbersome elements of attitude, in terms of color matching, vivo X Fold3 is currently available in two colors: "Light Feather White" and "Thin Wing Black". Today's test is one of the "light feather white" color matching models, the back cover is made of ultra-high strength ultra-high molecular weight fiber material, the feel is very silky, and there is a more delicate touch, at the same time, compared with the back cover of glass or skin material, it can more effectively avoid fingerprints and scratches.
The thickness of the phone is only 4.65mm when unfolded
The thickness in the folded form is only 10.2 mm
Although this time vivo X Fold3 has achieved the thinnest and lightest design among the current flagship inner folding phones, this does not mean that the mobile phone will be sacrificed in terms of reliability and durability, on the contrary, vivo X Fold3 can be regarded as the most "anti-manufacturing" folding screen mobile phone in vivo's history. First of all, the hinge of this folding screen phone uses the industry's lightest carbon fiber keel hinge, which not only weighs only 14.98g, but is also stronger and can withstand up to 500,000 foldsIn addition, it is the ultra-high molecular weight fiber material back cover mentioned above, which vivo calls the armor back cover, which is 15 times stronger than steel fiber, which can bring military-grade protection. This set of all-round reliable protection from the inside to the outside is the "armor architecture" created by vivo for the new generation of folding screen mobile phones, and has also obtained the world's first SGS five-star anti-drop certification for folding machines.
And when it comes to the screen, vivo X Fold3 is also completely the configuration level of the flagship, the outer screen is equipped with a 6.53-inch size2748×1172 resolution120HzHigh refresh rate screen, and the screen is BOEQ9+Luminous material, with4500nitLocal peak brightness and2160HZ PVM dimming. The bezel of the outer screen adopts a slightly curved design, which can bring a better grip feeling, and it is no different from a traditional straight phone in daily use, and there is no pressure at all for one-handed operation.
After unfolding the phone, what immediately appeared in front of me was an 8.03-inch 91.8% ultra-high screen-to-body ratio super-large inner screen, and there was no obvious compromise from all angles. The screen has a high resolution of 2480×2200 and a high refresh rate of 120Hz, a pixel density of 412 PPI, and the vivo X Fold3 inner screen uses the flagship Samsung E7 light-emitting material, and the 4500nit local peak brightness also makes it the folding screen mobile phone with the highest inner screen brightness.
The phone supports 60-120° free hovering
Bottom Type-C port with speaker and SIM card slot
As you can see from the bottom of the phone, the thickness of the vivo X Fold3 is almost the same as the thickness of the Type-C interface, which means that the thickness of the folding screen mobile phone should be close to the limit so far. However, what is unexpected is that under such a thin and light design, vivo X Fold3 is also equipped with a 5500mAh ultra-large capacity battery, which has extremely high requirements for the size of the battery module and the optimization of the internal structure.
The ultra-sensitive VCS Bionic Main Camera Standard Edition also has a professional portrait lens
Rear ZEISS triple camera module
vivo mobile phones have always been very strong in taking pictures, and the shooting quality and color style are deeply loved by many consumers, although this time the vivo X Fold3 series is subdivided into standard version and Pro version, but even the standard version of vivo X Fold3 still has strong image strength. vivo X Fold3 is a rear Zeiss triple camera module, in which the wide-angle lens is a customized Sony IMX920 model 1/1.49-inch 50 million pixel super-sensitive VCS bionic main camera, and upgraded to f/1.57 ultra-large aperture, which can bring higher light intake; The 1.85 aperture and OIS optical image stabilization provide excellent results in low-light environments, and there is also a 50-million-pixel equivalent 15mm focal length Samsung JN1 ultra-wide-angle lens, which is the same as the ultra-wide-angle lens of flagship models such as the vivo X100 and iQOO12.
Although the vivo X Fold3 has only three lenses on the rear, its telephoto lens also supports Zeiss ultra-clear zoom up to 100mm and beyond, so it is basically no problem to shoot landscapes, food, architecture, etc., or record daily life. In particular, the 1/1.49-inch VCS bionic spectrum outsole main camera equipped with the mobile phone can make the captured picture color information closer to the perception range of the human eye, and at the same time, combined with the native picture noise reduction technology, the picture quality is more pure and clear. In addition, a wider aperture means more light in, so whether you're shooting during the day or at night, you'll get a more realistic and pure picture.
The vivo X Fold3 supports super macro shooting
This time, in addition to the "vivid" and "natural" colors, the vivo X Fold3 also provides a "texture" color mode for the first time on a large folding phone. Especially for users who like to have a more obvious tone in their photos, it is recommended to choose the "texture" color mode, the photos taken have a strong sense of film, the photos show more vivid and full colors, and the photos in texture mode also have a high contrast, which can show bright highlights and deep shadows, which can enhance the layering and three-dimensional sense of the photo.
vivo has always been very advantageous in portrait shooting, although one of the biggest selling points of vivo X Fold3 is thinness and large screen folding, but there is no shrinkage in photography, for example, this mobile phone is not only equipped with an equivalent 50mm focal length portrait lens, but also has a full focal length Zeiss portrait lens package, which allows everyone to experience Zeiss classic portrait bokeh style with one click.
In portrait mode, the vivo X Fold3 captures photos with a natural bokeh effect, which not only separates the subject from the background, but also preserves all details, whether it is hair or wrinkles at the corners of clothes. At the same time, the portrait mode can also choose the full focal length Portrait Master, which includes 4 classic portrait focal lengths including 24mm/35mm/50mm/100mm, with ZEISS's specially adjusted style color and out-of-focus light spot, whether indoor, outdoor, traveling, or at night, you can easily shoot professional-quality portrait blockbusters.
The thin and light folding screen also has flagship-level performance
Perhaps the vivo X Fold3 is not a performance phone for the world's thinnest and lightest foldable phone, but in our opinion, even the standard version of the vivo X Fold3 is still a flagship phone. On the one hand, vivo X Fold3 uses the flagship-level second-generation Snapdragon 8 SPU mobile platform, using advanced 4nm process technology, in the general-purpose processor architecture, the platform adopts 1+2+2+3 octa-core architecture, of which 1 super-large core is based on Cortex-X3 Kryo core, with a frequency of up to 3.2GHZ, 2+2 is two sets of performance cores, based on Cortex A715 and A710 respectively, with a frequency of 2.8GHZ, and 3 energy efficiency cores use Cortex A510, the main frequency is 2.0GHZ. Especially in terms of graphics core architecture, the second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform uses Adreno 740 to improve rendering performance by 25%, and the energy efficiency performance is improved by 45%.
In addition, in addition to the second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, we still see a performance triangle of LPDDR5X + UFS 4.0 on this phone. Judging from the actual running score results, vivo X Fold3 has a running score of more than 1.7 million in the Antutu V10.2 version, of which the GPU performance is very eye-catching, with a score of more than 600,000, which means that vivo X Fold3 can easily control all kinds of large-scale mobile games, and it is not too cool to play games with a large screen. In the GeekBench 6 test, the vivo X Fold3 scored more than 2000 points in single-core and 5356 in multi-core, which is already an unexpected performance for a thin and light folding screen phone.
"Honor of Kings" supports 120fps extremely high frame rate mode
In the popular mobile game "Honor of Kings", vivo X Fold3 can turn on the picture options for HD image quality and extremely high 120 frame rate. We use PerfDog to provide technical support to monitor the game frame rate of vivo X Fold3, and we can see that vivo X Fold3 can run an average frame rate of 119.6 in "Honor of Kings", which is almost close to full frame performance, and its frame rate curve is also quite straight, and the whole game process is very silky.
Genshin Impact can be turned on at a high frame rate of 60fps
In the "Genshin Impact" game, which requires more mobile phone performance, when we turn on high image quality +60 frames, vivo X Fold3 In the course of nearly half an hour of gameplay, the average frame rate detected by PerfDog reached 59.4fps, although there were small fluctuations during the game, but the overall performance was still relatively stable, and there would be no obvious stuttering or frame drops. And due to the characteristics of the folding screen, the mobile phone also has better heat dissipation performance when the screen is unfolded for gaming.
In order to make the folding screen mobile phone also have a longer battery life, vivo X Fold3 is also equipped with a blue ocean battery, by using the second-generation silicon anode material and micron-level laser array etching technology, not only makes the battery thinner, the energy density is increased by 15.4% compared with the previous generation, and the battery capacity is larger under the same volume, and the battery capacity of the mobile phone reaches 5500mAh, which is also a big reason why the vivo X Fold3 can be so thin and light this time.
In terms of battery, this time vivo X Fold3 not only has a large blue ocean battery, but also a new generation of blue ocean battery life system, on the one hand, it provides longer battery life from the hardware through intelligent refresh of the power-saving main screen and V frame rate management system, and on the other hand, it is the first model equipped with OriginOS 4The folding screen mobile phone of the system, under the optimization of the system, reduces the comprehensive power consumption by rewriting the Android kernel to eliminate the sneaking of background tasks, and redistributes the computing unit at the bottom of the Android to reduce the power consumption in the audio and video scene, etc., to further improve the battery life of the mobile phone. Judging from the above results measured in three consecutive hours of heavy entertainment projects, vivo X Fold3The last remaining power is close to 70%, for the user's daily use, one charge a day is definitely enough, if it is not high-frequency video watching and playing games, then one charge in two days is no problem at all, which can well meet our daily use needs.
In terms of charging, vivo X Fold3 supports 80W ultra-fast flash charging, which only takes 10 minutes to complete 50% of the phone's power replenishment, and it only takes more than 30 minutes to fully charge, which brings great convenience to everyone's use, and also provides a more reliable use experience for large-screen folding phones in actual use.
Not only is splitting the screen more convenient, but it is also supported by practical AI large models
In addition to having a larger inner screen, another big advantage of folding screen phones is that they can bring more convenience to us by hovering at different angles, and the 8.03-inch screen equipped with vivo X Fold3 can support 60-120 degrees of multi-angle hovering, which can be used to unlock a variety of ways to use. For example, when playing videos, you can adjust the phone to hover mode, and the vivo X Fold3 is both a mobile phone and a stand, displaying the content separately on the screen, displaying the content on the upper half of the screen, and incarnating the operation control panel on the lower half of the screen, which can control the playback progress, volume, and screen brightness.
Hover over to watch videos is more convenient
When editing a document, the screen turns directly into a trackpad
In addition, vivo X Fold3 can realize tent, desk calendar, and screen posture when hovering at different angles, and the content displayed on the inner screen will automatically be transferred to the outer screen display after folding to a certain angle, bringing a natural and comfortable dual-screen streaming experience.
Fold the screen to split the screen easily
One of its advantages is the split-screen function of the foldable screen phone, combined with the large inner screen vivo X Fold3, which can display multiple applications on the phone at the same time, improving the efficiency of multitasking. In the past, we completed the split-screen operation on the folding screen phone, either through gestures to achieve multi-app split-screen, or swipe to bring up the sidebar or the bottom taskbar to select another app for split-screen. This time, vivo X Fold3 provides a more practical and efficient split-screen method - "Fold and split the screen", judging from the actual operation of the GIF above, as long as you gently bend and expand the screen under the current application, it will automatically enter the split-screen mode, so that the screen is divided into two; The whole process does not require fingers to operate back and forth or slide, making splitting the screen easier and more convenient.
Images in the app can be dragged and dropped directly into another app
In split-screen mode, vivo X Fold3 can not only display multiple apps on the same screen, but also directly press and drag the current split-screen graphic content to another split-screen to achieve cross-app image and text extraction and sharing in one step. For example, in the GIF above, we swiped a very good-looking camera when browsing Weibo, so we can long press the picture and drag it directly to the Taobao APP, and automatically search for the goods in the picture for us, without downloading, uploading, searching and other cumbersome steps.
In the second half of last year, vivo officially released the OriginOS 4 system, and also brought a self-developed blue heart model, and vivo X Fold3, as the first folding screen mobile phone equipped with the OriginOS 4 system, has naturally been empowered by AI, and it is a real AI mobile phone.
Conversational format to learn about travel
Images are directly generated in the form of text dialogues
vivo X Fold3 is equipped with an AI blue heart model with excellent capabilities in natural dialogue, knowledge question answering, intent understanding and other scenarios, for example, through the actual dialogue test with the new small V assistant, in addition to simple information sorting and query as in the past, the small V assistant based on large model technology also supports the re-creation and derivation of these contents, and then summarizes, at the same time, it also supports text-based image generation, etc., bringing a full-scene AI assistant experience.
Voice conversations can be recorded in real time through V-Help
After the WeChat voice call ends, you can directly generate a record summary and save it to Atomic Notes
Online videos can also summarize summaries
This time, vivo X Fold3 is also equipped with a new "Little V Help" function, which can record speech to text in multiple environments such as WeChat, phone calls, audio and video conferences, as well as audio and video playback, online learning, etc., and supports real-time translation and bilingual simultaneous display. What's more practical is that when we make a phone call or WeChat voice call, we can not only intelligently generate a summary, but also intelligently distinguish the speaker when we are on a call, which is really like a personal assistant to help us complete more efficient recording and information retention work.
Review Summary:
The upgrade of vivo X Fold3 not only fills up all aspects of the configuration, but also the standard version is comparable to the top flagship models, and at the same time brings the folding screen mobile phone to the era of thin and light, and the new armor architecture and ultra-large capacity battery sweep away the stereotype of unreliable and undurable folding screen mobile phones in the past. While taking into account the ultra-thin body, vivo X Fold3 also presents a high level of image, charging, performance and other aspects, which not only brings a feeling that is closer to or even surpasses the carrying experience of traditional straight phones, but also realizes the excellent and intelligent interactive experience that the large screen can bring.
