Vivo X Fold 5 is coming soon, here is everything we know about it from specs to price
Vivo's next big foldable — the Vivo X Fold 5 — is expected to launch in China this month. The good thing is that this time around, there's a good chance that Vivo might launch its standard foldable flagship in India as well. While the company has been experimenting with foldables for a while now, Indian customers have only had access to the premium X Fold 3 Pro, which launched last year for Rs 1,59,999 (16GB + 512GB). However, the standard X Fold 3 never made it to India. Well, that might change soon, as rumours suggest the X Fold 5 will reportedly launch in India alongside the Vivo X200 FE on July 10. advertisementThe Vivo X Fold 5 is rumoured to use the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset that powered the X Fold 3 Pro, which could allow Vivo to price the device more competitively. With key hardware already tried and tested, the company may focus on refinement and pricing rather than radical upgrades. And given how the Pro model was positioned at the ultra-premium tier, the X Fold 5 might aim for a slightly more accessible spot in the market. Let's hope for the best.

Now let's talk about what the X Fold 5 brings to the table. Early teasers from Vivo's China team have confirmed that it will be one of the lightest foldable phones in the world. As per the teaser, the device weighs 209 grams, lighter than the X Fold 3's 219g and X Fold 3 Pro's 236g.advertisement

While the numbers aren't enough to beat the Oppo Find N5 (4.2mm when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded) in thickness, it will still make it one of the slimmest and lightest foldables available.As for the displays, the cover screen is expected to be a 6.53-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with an 8.03-inch AMOLED inner display with 2K+ resolution and the same 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device will reportedly sport a 6,000mAh battery, making it the largest battery ever seen on a foldable phone. It is said to support 90W wired and 30W wireless charging.Camera performance should also be solid, at least on paper. There's a 32-megapixel selfie camera on both the inner and outer screens, while the rear camera setup includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens with autofocus, and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. Other expected features include AI-powered enhancements, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3-stage Alert Slider, and an IP rating, though the exact rating is yet to be confirmed.advertisementVivo is yet to officially announce the global launch date, but sources suggest that after the China launch this month, we could see the device hit Indian markets by early July — hence, the rumoured July 10 launch date. Stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on the upcoming Vivo X Fold 5.

Dassault, TASL to make complete Rafale fighter jet fuselages in Hyderabad
Dassault, TASL to make complete Rafale fighter jet fuselages HYDERABAD: In a major boost for `Make in India' and `Atmanirbharta' in the aerospace and defence sector, the entire fuselage of the Rafale fighter aircraft will now be made in India at Hyderabad, marking the first time that these components will be manufactured outside France. Rafale's manufacturer, French aviation giant Dassault Aviation, has signed four production transfer agreements with Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) for manufacturing key sections of the Rafale fighter jet, including the lateral shells of the rear fuselage, the complete rear section, the central fuselage, and the front section. As part of the tie-up, TASL will set up a dedicated production facility to manufacture the complete fuselage of the Rafale fighter jet with a capacity to deliver up to two complete fuselages every month. The first of the Rafale fuselage sections is slated to begin rolling off the assembly line in Hyderabad in FY28. The move marks a significant step forward in strengthening India's aerospace manufacturing capabilities and supporting global supply chains, and the proposed facility represents a significant investment in India's aerospace infrastructure that will serve as a critical hub for high-precision manufacturing, TASL said on Thursday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 새로 나온 '실비보험' 최적가 가입추천!

Walmart's Flipkart secures approval for direct lending in India
Walmart's Flipkart has secured a lending licence from the Indian central bank and banking regulator, enabling it to offer loans directly to customers and sellers on its platform, according to documents reviewed by Reuters and a source. This is the first time the Reserve Bank of India has granted a large e-commerce player in India a non-bank finance company (NBFC) licence, allowing it to lend but not take deposits. Most e-commerce platforms currently offer loans in tie-ups with banks and NBFCs, but a lending licence will enable Flipkart - India's largest e-commerce firm - to lend directly, a more lucrative model for the group. The central bank issued its certificate of registration - a document that officially recognizes a company as an NBFC - to Flipkart Finance Private Limited on March 13. Reuters has reviewed a copy of both the certificate of registration and the approval letter also dated March 13. The approval has not been previously reported. Flipkart, in which U.S. retail behemoth Walmart holds a more than 80% stake, applied for the licence in 2022, according to the central bank's approval letter. Neither Flipkart nor the Reserve Bank of India immediately responded to Reuters' request for comments. The e-commerce giant may commence its lending operation "in a few months", according to a source aware of the matter who declined to be identified as the talks are private. A final decision on the launch will be subject to the completion of various internal processes such as the appointment of key management personnel and board members and the finalisation of business plans, the source said. Flipkart plans to lend directly to its customers on its popular e-commerce platform and through its fintech app the source said. It may also offer financing to sellers on the platform, they added. At present, the e-commerce giant offers personal loans to customers through tie-ups with lenders such as Axis Bank, IDFC Bank and Credit Saison. Flipkart, last valued at $37 billion in 2024 when it raised $1 billion in a funding round led by Walmart, is shifting its holding company from Singapore to India. Walmart also aims to take the 17-year-old company public. Walmart bought a controlling stake in Flipkart in 2018, which also gave it ownership of PhonePe, a fintech firm also preparing for an IPO. Earlier this year Flipkart's rival Amazon acquired a Bengaluru-based non-bank lender Axio, but the deal is yet to be cleared by the central bank.

India, US push to finalise interim tariff deal as Trump's deadline nears
Indian and U.S. are holding high-level talks this week, aiming to finalise tariff cuts in sectors such as farm and automobiles as part of an interim deal, two government sources said, with an announcement likely later this month. A U.S. delegation led by senior officials from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) began closed-door, two-day discussions in New Delhi on Thursday with Indian trade officials headed by chief negotiator Rajesh Agrawal, the sources said. "During the current round of talks, negotiators are discussing tariff cuts on specific sectors including agriculture and autos, and proposed benefits for Indian companies," one Indian government source, said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar The deal may be formally announced by month end, before the self-imposed deadline of July 9 by President Trump, but a statement is expected once meetings wrap up, possibly by Sunday, a second official said. Trade Minister Piyush Goyal, currently in Italy, may return to meet the delegation, the official added. Live Events The officials said spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the discussions. Indian trade ministry didn't immediately respond to requests for comments. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in Washington on Monday that trade negotiations were progressing and a deal could be finalised soon. India and the U.S. agreed in February to work on a phased deal, aiming to lift bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. Officials said, India, buoyed by recent trade pact with the UK, and EU talks, is resisting U.S. demands to open its farm and dairy markets, citing potential rural backlash. "We are ready to offer a better deal than the UK pact, with average tariffs down to 10%, matching the U.S. base rate , and near-zero duties with quotas in exchange for market access and supply chain linkages," a third official said. Washington has flagged India's average farm tariff of 39%, with some duties reaching 45-50%. It is also pushing India to allow corn imports for ethanol production. Bilateral trade with the U.S., India's largest trading partner, rose to $129 billion in 2024, with India posting a $45.7 billion surplus.
