Vivo X Fold 5 and X200 FE Set to Launch in India on July 14
While the official teasers have revealed limited details, both phones have already seen their global unveilings. The X Fold 5 made its debut in China on June 26, and the X200 FE was launched in Taiwan on June 23. Interestingly, the X200 FE is essentially a rebranded version of the S30 Pro Mini from China.
The X Fold 5 is being positioned as a top-tier foldable, boasting a flagship-grade camera, a massive 6,000mAh battery, and one of the brightest foldable displays yet. Meanwhile, the X200 FE represents Vivo's first major step into compact devices with high-end performance — similar to the strategy OnePlus adopted with its recently launched 13s.
Vivo X Fold 5: Key Features Expected in India
The Indian variant of the X Fold 5 is expected to mirror the Chinese model. This includes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 80W wired and 40W wireless charging, and up to 80.6 hours of music playback on a single charge. Despite the large battery, the phone maintains a slim profile at 9.2mm when folded and just 4.3mm when opened, weighing only 217g.
Vivo is also focusing on productivity, offering features like Workbench for multitasking (up to five tasks simultaneously), a Shortcut Button for quick access, and a Kinematic hinge rated for 600,000 folds.
On the camera front, users can expect a triple 50MP setup — including a main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lens — co-engineered with Zeiss, offering 3x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom. The foldable's display is a major highlight, with Vivo claiming a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, potentially making it the brightest phone screen on the market.
Pricing will be crucial for the X Fold 5's success in India. In China, it starts at CNY 6,999 (approx. ₹83,400) for the 12GB+256GB model. Given it shares the same chipset as last year, Vivo may opt for a more aggressive pricing strategy in India.
Vivo X200 FE: Compact Powerhouse Incoming
The Vivo X200 FE is expected to feature a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, packed into a slim 7.99mm body. Powering the device could be the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ or the newer 9400e chip, paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
The phone is also tipped to sport a 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging, promising all-day performance and then some. On the back, the Zeiss-branded camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, 50MP telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide unit. The device may also come with IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering excellent durability — a rarity in this price range.
In terms of pricing, the X200 FE is expected to retail around ₹55,000 in India, though final pricing will be revealed at the launch event.
Final Thoughts
With both devices already generating buzz globally, all eyes are now on Vivo's July 14 launch event in India. Whether it's the ultra-slim, camera-focused X Fold 5 or the compact-yet-mighty X200 FE, Vivo seems poised to make a strong impact in both the foldable and compact premium segments this year.

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.
