EDITORIAL: Vivo is lifting it's V series of midrangers by adding an Elite badge unit. This is essentially a V70 with a better processor that can sustain years of OS updates and AI additions. If you can get it in your market, this phone should be on your list. It features fast performance, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, IR blaster, metal frame, great battery life, very bright screen and reliable imaging, all in a very compact, just 74mm wide body.
PROs
great sub-8mm thickness build, fast Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with UFS 4.1 performance, excellent 30+hrs endurance from a 6500mAh Si-C battery with 50min 90W charging, >1900nits bright >450ppi AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 protection, very good imaging from a 50MP main + 50MP periscope telephoto lenses, excellent 50MP PDAF selfie, good video recording, up to 4 years of OS updates
CONs
limited market availability, no wireless charging, no LTPO tech (tho battery life is excellent even without it), no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality, slow USBC 2.0 port (tho it does offer OTG)
Vivo X Fold 3 Pro

9+14+13+12+12+5+3+0+3+0 = 71
EDITORIAL: X Fold 3 Pro is only a 3rd generation Vivo foldable but it outperformed foldable competition with battery, camera and hardware. This immersive phone is a great option if you can get it in your market. It is one of the thinnest, lightest and yet top in battery endurance and water protection among foldable. Excellent build and usability, great performance and 24hr+ battery performance on the outer screen. Very bright screens and a great camera setup takes this 2024 phone to a short list of phones to consider.
PROs
great build, good SD 8 Gen 3 with UFS4.0 performance, 24h+ 5700mAh Si-C battery endurance with (0-100%) sub-40min 100W charging, excellent >2000nits Dolby Vision screens (external has long 21:9 ratio), IPx8 water protection, great photos from Zeiss branded OIS 50MP main + OIS 64MP periscope tele + 50MP ultrawide (all PDAF), fast 3.2 USB-C with OTG
CONs
mediocre selfies (tho on a foldable you should use the main camera for selfies), no SDmemory, only 3 years of OS update support, no desktop replacement or video out support (updated Jun 30, 2025)
