Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Teardown: Sneak Peek Inside the Thinnest Foldable Till Today

The recently launched Vivo X Fold 3 Pro has garnered attention for its sleek and slim design, not just in China but also sparking rumors of a potential global launch. For those curious about the engineering behind its impressively thin and lightweight profile, a teardown video provides fascinating insights. The teardown process kicks off with the standard protocol: powering down the device and extracting the SIM card slot, notable for its remarkable thinness on the X Fold 3 Pro.

Using heat and a pick, the host delicately removes the back cover, also notable for its slender profile, crafted from a reinforced fiber composite material. With the cover screen removed, the internals are unveiled, providing a glimpse into the device’s inner workings. Upon closer inspection, a substantial sheet of copper foil is revealed, strategically positioned to prevent the display panel from overheating.

Adjacent to it lies a second-generation Qualcomm ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, enhancing biometric security. The motherboard showcases a dual-stacked configuration, housing a trio of camera sensors at the top, secured by an intriguing plastic cover. This cover serves a dual purpose, accommodating not only the camera sensors but also housing the flash cable, microphone, ambient light sensor, and laser focus module.

Subsequently, the teardown provides detailed close-ups of the camera sensors, accompanied by sample photos captured by the device. Moving forward, the teardown progresses to unveil the motherboard, accommodating the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, Samsung LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage modules, alongside the innovative vivo V3 imaging chip. Below the motherboard, a copper vapor chamber is strategically positioned to effectively manage thermals.
