Vivo X Fold 3 Images Leak. Vivo seems to have exciting plans for its next-generation foldable phone lineup. While we have been hearing rumors about the Vivo X Fold 3 series, alleged live images of the device have now surfaced courtesy of tipster Ice Universe. The leaks reveal an interesting new feature that could allow the X Fold 3 to remotely control Mac devices.
The images shared by Ice Universe on Weibo claim to show the Vivo X Fold 3 from different angles. From what we can see, the foldable phone has noticeable bezels around the screen and a centered punch-hole selfie camera. The volume rocker and power buttons are split between the right and left spine, respectively. An external display is also visible, as expected.
Now, the most intriguing aspect shown in the leaked shots is the X Fold 3 running what seems to be a macOS user interface. The tipster suggests that the phone will be able to “remotely control Mac” devices. This exciting claim was also backed by another Weibo tech personality, WhyLab, lending more credibility.
While details remain scarce, if true, this could be a potential game-changing feature aimed at Apple users interested in using a foldable device. It remains to be seen whether this Mac integration entails basic screen mirroring or more advanced remote control functionality.
In any case, having deep macOS integration makes sense for a foldable form factor like this. The ability to run Mac apps on the X Fold 3’s larger internal display would certainly aid better multitasking compared to regular smartphones.
Separately, well-known Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed more details about the X Fold 3’s displays. Reportedly, Samsung Display will supply higher-resolution LTPO foldable panels with 2480 x 2200 pixels resolution, up from 1916 x 2160 pixels on the predecessor. The external screen will also see an upgrade to 2748 x 1172 pixels.
Moreover, DCS claims Vivo will utilize fiberglass material in the construction of the X Fold 3 models. The standard X Fold 3 is said to pack a large 5,600 mAh battery under the hood.
With the launch timeline still unclear, we hope to get more official updates from Vivo regarding the exciting X Fold 3 series and its rumored Mac controls functionality soon. The leaks indicate foldable buyers have something potentially groundbreaking to look forward to in 2024.
