Vivo X Fold 5 could be slimmest foldable yet with 6,000mAh battery, leak suggests

Vivo X Fold 5 could be slimmest foldable yet with 6,000mAh battery, leak suggests

India Today09-05-2025
Vivo appears to be streamlining its foldable phone strategy this year. While the company launched two foldables in China last year — the X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro — only the Pro model reached international markets, including India. However, things seem set to change in 2025. According to a report by XpertPick, Vivo plans to launch just one foldable device globally, expected to be named the Vivo X Fold 5. The likely reason for skipping from 3 to 5 is that the number "4" is considered unlucky in some Asian cultures. advertisementThe Vivo X Fold 5 is rumoured to feature a 6.53-inch LTPO cover display with a 120Hz refresh rate, alongside an 8.03-inch inner foldable AMOLED screen, also with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2K+ resolution. It is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset — the same SoC found in last year's Vivo X Fold 3 Pro — paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. While that might not sound like a leap forward in terms of raw performance, the device brings significant changes elsewhere.

One of the key highlights is the rumoured 6,000mAh battery, which will be the largest in any foldable phone on the market. It is said to support 90W wired and 30W wireless charging, which should translate to solid endurance and quick top-ups.advertisement
In terms of camera, the Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to pack dual 32-megapixel selfie cameras — one on the cover display and another on the inside. The rear camera module is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens with autofocus, and a 50-megapixel IMX882 periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom.Additional features are said to include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3-stage Alert Slider, AI-powered tools, and an IP rating, probably an IPX8 rating for water resistance. If the rumours are to be believed, the Vivo X Fold 5 will be among the slimmest foldables available at just 4.3mm when unfolded and 9.33mm when folded.While Vivo hasn't yet confirmed a launch timeline or pricing, the use of the same chipset as last year raises the possibility of a more aggressive price tag. To recall, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro was launched in India at Rs 1,59,999 for the sole 16GB RAM + 512GB storage variant. In our review, we found it to be a well-rounded device that delivered top-tier performance, excellent cameras, long battery life and perhaps the best design among foldables at the time. If the Vivo X Fold 5 builds on that foundation while being thinner and packing a larger battery, it could offer even better value for users looking for a top-tier foldable smartphone.

Google Pixel 10 launch: Full leak roundup ahead of August 21 reveal

Google Pixel 10 series, including new models like the Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, is going to launch on August 21, and there are only a few days left. So far, there have been a plethora of leaks concerning the hardware, including the processor, design, cameras, colours, and much more. And recently, software-centric leaks have also emerged, detailing the potential AI features for the Pixel 10 series, especially for the camera. Google has already revealed the full design of the Pixel 10.(Google) Here, we have curated a list of all the leaks and rumours that have surfaced so far, which are likely to come true, based on reports. Read on for the details. Pixel 10 series mobiles: Design, specs and camera Starting with the design, things are expected to remain largely the same this year. Google revamped the design with the Pixel 9 series last year, offering flat sides, a flat display, and a floating, visor-like camera design, and this year's models are expected to follow suit. The Pixel 10 Pro is expected to look identical to its predecessor, whereas the standard Pixel 10 is expected to receive minor tweaks, particularly to the camera module, as it is rumoured to receive a triple-camera setup. New colours are also expected, including a new Moonstone colour and the Jade for the Pixel 10 Pro. A new blue colour, Indigo, is also anticipated for the standard Pixel 10. Regarding the specifications, the Pixel 10 series is expected to feature the latest Tensor G5 chipset across the lineup, a 3nm chipset manufactured by TSMC. This is a departure from the Samsung-produced Tensor G4 that powered last year's Pixel 9 series, including the latest Pixel 9a. This processor is expected to offer significant gains in performance and efficiency. It remains to be seen how it will eventually compare to leading competitors like the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the MediaTek Dimensity 9400, which power the current crop of flagship smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, OnePlus 13, and the Vivo X200 Pro. As for RAM, the base model is expected to continue to feature 12GB of RAM, whereas the Pro models are expected to have 16GB of RAM, just like last year. The cameras are expected to be a highlight this year, especially for the standard Pixel 10, as it is rumoured to receive a triple-camera setup for the first time. This would be a first for the standard model, as Google has typically reserved triple cameras for its Pro models in the Pixel 6, 7, 8, and 9 lineups. However, reports suggest the primary sensor itself could be a downgrade and smaller than the sensor found on the Pixel 9. The 5x telephoto lens is expected to be a 11-megapixel sensor alongside a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens. For the Pro models, the sensors are expected to remain unchanged, with a 50-megapixel main wide camera, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 48-megapixel 5x telephoto lens. In addition to these changes, the Pixel devices are also expected to gain telephoto macro capabilities, which have been seen on phones like the X200 Pro, and even some Xiaomi phones like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. What about the software AI features? In terms of software, recent reports from Android Headlines suggest these Pixel devices are expected to gain new AI features, particularly for the camera. The Pixel 10 series is expected to introduce a 'Camera Coach' feature, which could help users take better photographs by providing instructions on composition, lighting, and more. For this to be effective, it would likely need to provide these guidelines in real-time. Additionally, a feature within the Photos app is expected to allow for conversational edits. This could mean that users might be able to provide prompts to perform edits, such as tweaking the white balance or adjusting the contrast, and more.

Vivo V60 5G mobile vs X200 FE: What to expect from this sibling rivalry

Vivo's latest V-series phone, the Vivo V60, is set to launch on 12 August, and as you may have seen in the teasers and leaks so far, the device is going to feature Zeiss branding, which means it is going to be a camera-centric phone. Vivo's V-series phones have typically cost around ₹40,000, and while it may not encroach on the Vivo X200 FE territory, it could come close. So, if you are wondering whether to wait for the Vivo V60 or buy the Vivo X200 FE right now, we have done a comparison based on the specifications Vivo has revealed so far. Read on for the details. Vivo V60 gets Zeiss optics, just like its more expensive X series siblings.(Vivo) Zeiss Cameras on both Firstly, let us compare the cameras, because let us be honest, it is the elephant in the room. Both phones support triple camera setups powered by Zeiss optics, but they do differ when it comes to the sensors. The Vivo V60 features a 50MP main Zeiss-powered camera, using the Sony IMX766 sensor, coupled with a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor, a 50MP selfie camera, and a Zeiss ultra-wide-angle shooter. The Vivo X200 FE 2 also has a triple camera setup. However, its main sensor is the Sony IMX921. The periscope shooter is a 50MP IMX882, and the ultra-wide-angle camera is an 8MP shooter. For the front camera, you also get a 50MP sensor. Compact vs not so compact display Now, coming to the display, the Vivo X200 FE offers a much more compact experience with a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED panel, compared to the 6.67-inch AMOLED panel on the Vivo V60. Both phones support 120Hz refresh rates, but the experience will be better with the Vivo X200 FE if you prefer a compact phone. As for durability, both phones offer IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, which means dual ratings. In this regard, they are evenly matched. Performance, battery and more Coming to performance, the Vivo X200 FE is more powerful, thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, which is a 4nm chip. The Vivo V60, on the other hand, gets the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, which is also a 4nm chip. As for RAM and storage, it is not yet clear what variants Vivo will offer for the V60, but it is likely to offer up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. The Vivo X200 FE, meanwhile, is available with up to 16GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, up to 512GB. Regarding software and biometrics, both phones will run Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15 on top. And both feature under-display fingerprint scanners with optical sensors. When it comes to battery, both phones pack 6,500mAh batteries with support for 90W fast charging. It remains to be seen how the V60 fares in terms of battery, but talking about the X200 FE, it performed well in our testing, lasting well into the second day.
