Vivo X Fold 2 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC debuted in China in April last year. The brand, following the success of its Vivo X Fold 2, is reportedly working on the Vivo X Fold 3 series. The upcoming lineup is expected to include the regular Vivo X Fold 3 and Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. The camera system of the new series is tipped to see significant improvements this time. It is said to get the OmniVision OV50H main camera, a notable upgrade over the previous model.

Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) has leaked (via GizmoChina) the camera details of the rumoured Vivo X Fold 3 and Vivo X Fold 3 Pro on Weibo. As per the tipster, the upcoming foldable smartphones will feature an OmniVision OV50H main camera and a periscope telephoto lens. Vivo's iQoo sub-brand has used a similar camera on both iQoo 12 and iQoo 12 Pro.

Meanwhile, the tipster earlier claimed that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will power the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. It is also said to get an LTPO inner foldable screen on the device with a 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It may include an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on both screens and could offer 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging support.
