The Vivo X Fold3 Pro, known for its comprehensive features, might see its successor take a slightly different path. Rumors suggest that the next-generation foldable phone could reduce the number of cameras, potentially making it thinner and increasing its battery capacity.
Camera Changes
According to the reliable leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS), the successor to the Vivo X Fold3 Pro might feature just four cameras, down from the current model's five. While the specific camera being removed is not clear, it is tipped that the Zeiss-branded periscope zoom lens will be retained. This could mean the main rear camera, ultrawide lens, or either of the two selfie cameras could be on the chopping block.
Potential Cut-backs & Improvements
DCS also suggests that the next-gen foldable might see "peripheral specification" cut-backs, which could include features like the phone's Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, aptX support, or fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. On the other hand, this is rumored to retain wireless charging support. There's speculation that next-gen foldable devices (including models from Honor) will also feature larger batteries closer to 6000mAh while being even lighter than their predecessors.
It is important to note that the tipster did not explicitly name the device in question, implying these changes could be for an unannounced Vivo model or even a competitor such as the next-gen Honor Magic V series.
Competition on the Horizon
The upcoming foldable phones might have to compete with the OnePlus Open 2, which is tipped to be thinner at just 8.9mm when closed, while also offering similar advantages.
