There are two forms of smart phones, one is an ordinary straight-screen mobile phone, and the other is a folding screen mobile phone, which has always been the high-end flagship of mobile phone manufacturers due to its high cost.
There are many factors that affect the price of a folding screen phone: screen material, hinge, battery, processor, size and weight, and so on.
Whether it is a mobile phone that is folded left and right or folded up and down, there are two screens, the screen folded up and down is smaller, the cost is lower, and the performance of the chip will not be too strong, and the lowest initial price is even only 2999 yuan, such as Nubia's first folding screen mobile phoneFlip, the price of the 8GB+256GB version is 2999 yuan.
The outer screen of the mobile phone folded left and right is the same size as the straight screen mobile phone, the main screen is twice the outer screen, if you use the top screen, then the cost of these two screens is too expensive, coupled with the extremely high cost of hinges, the price is often 10,000 yuan, so the price of the mobile phone folded left and right has not been cheap.
vivo's folding screen mobile phone X Fold3, the price is as low as 6999 yuan, the thickness of the fuselage is reduced to 10.2mm, and the weight of the fuselage is 219 grams.
At this price, this thickness and weight, there is no difference from a straight-screen flagship.
Now the price has dropped to 6100 yuan, down to 899 yuan, which is more cost-effective.
X Fold3 has two screens inside and outside, which should be seen as three screens after folding, and are thicker than straight screen phones when folded, and it is almost impossible to drop below 10mm, and it is already the limit to be able to drop to 10.2mm.
The most commendable thing about vivo X Fold3 is that the thickness has been reduced, but the battery capacity is larger.
Some folding screen mobile phones have a battery capacity of only more than 4,000 mAh, which is extremely rare at 5,000 mAh, but the battery capacity of vivo X Fold3 is as high as 5500mAh.
This 5500mAh blue ocean semi-solid-state battery has a smaller volume, larger capacity, high density, low temperature resistance, and a long-lasting battery.
Limited to thickness, I can't use 120W wired fast charging, but the charging speed of 80W wired fast charging is not slow, which can completely solve battery life anxiety.
The outer screen of vivo X Fold3 is a 6.53-inch Samsung AMOLED straight screen with 2748x1172 resolution, and the inner screen is an 8.03-inch 2480x2200 resolution 2K Samsung AMOLED folding screen, both screens are the latest E7 light-emitting material, low-power 8T LTPO backplane technology, local peak brightness up to 4500nit, and supports 1~120Hz adaptive refresh rate.
Until now, the Samsung screen is still one of the best mobile phone screens, with a clear display and high overall quality, and the disadvantage is that it is expensive.
Since the price of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 has risen again, mobile phone manufacturers can only reduce costs by using domestic screens, but vivo X Fold3 is a top-of-the-line high-end flagship, and there is no need to save in this regard, so the best E7 Samsung screen will still be used, and the visual perception obtained will definitely be the best.
The outer screen of the X Fold3 is made of armor glass, which has passed the SGS Gold Standard five-star drop resistance certification, and the drop resistance is increased by 11 times. If you accidentally drop it, you don't have to worry about the screen shattering.
The inner screen of X Fold3 uses UTG ultra-tough glass + impact resistant film, carbon fiber ultra-durable and lightweight hinge, and has passed the Rheinland 500,000 fold worry-free certification, with a life span of more than 4 years.
In terms of performance, vivo X Fold3 is equipped with Snapdragon 8Gen2 processor, which is also Qualcomm's previous generation flagship chip, with an Antutu score of up to 1.6 million+. However, with the decentralization of Snapdragon 8 Gen3, the price of mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 will usher in a large-scale dive, which is estimated to be the main reason for the price reduction of X Fold3.
But the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is still sufficient, and it can even be said that there are no problems with another four or five years.
In terms of images, the rear main camera is a 50-million-pixel Sony IMX920 main camera, with a sensor size of 1/1.49 inch, a large F1.75 aperture, support OIS optical image stabilization, and a 24mm equivalent focal length.
50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with Samsung JN1 sensor size, 1/2.76-inch sensor size, F2.0 aperture, and support for 119° wide viewing angles.
50mm professional portrait camera with Sony IMX816 sensor with 50 million effective pixels, 1/2.93-inch outsole, F1.85 aperture.
Finally, vivo X Fold3 is lighter and thinner, sexually usable, and has a lower price, and users are willing to buy it, with sales of up to 580 million yuan in 1 minute for the first sale.
