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.

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 Read here - Vivo X Fold 3 Pro review: Exceptional camera, foldable screenIn terms of thickness, the Vivo X Fold 5 is said to measure 4.3mm when unfolded and 9.33mm when folded. 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 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 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 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.

Vivo X Fold 5 could be slimmest foldable yet with 6,000mAh battery, leak suggests
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. Source: Yogesh Brar 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 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 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 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.

vivo X Fold5 specs leak, and yes it's called X Fold5 not X Fold4
vivo launched the X Fold3 and X Fold3 Pro in March of last year, and it's now apparently working on a successor, but there are two twists here. First, rumor has it there won't be two book-style foldables from vivo this year, just one. Second, it will be called X Fold5, and not X Fold4 as you may have expected - blame tetraphobia. A leak today says the X Fold5 will come with an 8.03-inch foldable AMOLED screen with "2K+" resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, a 6.53-inch LTPO OLED cover display with 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 6,000 mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 30W wireless charging. vivo X Fold3 Pro Interestingly, the phone is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, just like the X Fold3 Pro, and not the Snapdragon 8 Elite for some reason. This will be paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The X Fold5 will allegedly sport a 50 MP main camera with Sony's IMX921 sensor, a 50 MP ultrawide with autofocus for macro shots, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom using the Sony IMX882 sensor. For selfies there will be two 32 MP shooters, one for each screen. The device has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button, a three-stage Alert Slider, and an IP rating that isn't known just yet. It will be 4.3 mm thick when unfolded and 9.33 mm thick when folded. So it looks like the X Fold5 will be a thinner X Fold3 Pro with a tweaked telephoto camera and a 300 mAh bigger battery. These specs are said to be for the global model, which first of all tells us that there will be one (it's not always a given with Chinese foldables as you may know), but also that there could be a differently-specced Chinese version on the way too. Unfortunately, today's rumor hasn't revealed the phone's launch timeframe. vivo X Fold3 Pro Source
