Vivo X Fold3 Pro released internationally for first time ahead of global Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 launch

The X Fold3 Pro has received its first international release, over two months after its initial debut. Incidentally, the device's international release arrives about a month before Samsung introduces the Galaxy Z Fold6, which can already been seen thanks to an unscrupulous Samsung subsidiary. For context, Vivo has only expanded the device's availability to two countries, having previously sold the X Fold3 Pro as a Chinese exclusive.

However, the company has confirmed that the X Fold3 Pro will soon make its way to a third country. Specifically, the X Fold3 Pro has landed in India first before an equivalent launch occurs in Indonesia. Unfortunately, there is no word yet on a broader global release like the one that Vivo afforded the X100 Pro (curr. $1,059.99 on Amazon) in January. Also, Vivo has several limited the options in which the X Fold3 Pro can be ordered outside China. For reference, the X Fold3 Pro is available in black and white finishes with a choice between 512 GB or 1 TB of storage.

Both SKUs come with 16 GB of RAM though, as well as a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 5,700 mAh battery and IPX8 water resistance. By contrast, Vivo is only offering the X Fold3 Pro in India with a Celestial Black finish and its entry-level memory configuration. On top of that, the X Fold3 Pro retails for INR 169,999 (~$2,036) in India with an INR 159,999 (~$1,916) launch price. In comparison, the same configuration sells in China for CNY 9,999 (~$1,380), which currently converts to INR 115,233.
