Vivo X Fold 5 Design Comparison With iPhone 16 Pro Max Shows Us Its Thin Frame
Last Updated: Vivo X Fold 5 launch could happen in the next few weeks and the company's latest trick is to show us the foldable and its sleek design compared to the iPhone Pro Max model. Vivo X Fold 5 launch is expected in the next few weeks and the company has started showing off its sleek design and comparing it with premium models like the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The foldables available in the market are powerful but only few of them can match the slim quotient and Vivo is planning to spice that up with the X Fold 5 model that promises to be slightly thicker than the 16 Pro Max when it is folded. The Vivo X Fold 3 got a global launch last year and showed us how foldables can offer all the features of a regular phone. The leaked visuals coming from China shows us the X Fold 5 placed next to the iPhone 16 Pro Max in both fold and opened forms. The tipster reveals that the Vivo foldable measures around 8.7mm in thickness which is just marginally higher than the 8.5mm frame of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Even so, this will be a significant change from the 10.2mm thickness of the X Fold 3 variant, which also means the weight cuts down from 219 grams to 209 grams with the latest model. These are some impressive gains with the X Fold 5 model from Vivo, especially if earlier rumours about the foldable packing a 6,000mAh battery are true. That's not all, the new Fold is likely to feature a triple camera system with no compromises expected once again. However, Vivo is rumoured to be using the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset for the X Fold 5 which might not please buyers but could help with lower pricing of the new model. If Vivo does manage to keep the X Fold 5 sleek, and adjust the hardware choice with a competitive price tag, the brand could finally have a product that will find more takers in the market. Make no mistake, the X Fold 3 was not a slouch by any means but people investing over a lakh will always have second thoughts about brands other than Apple and Samsung even if the hardware warrants their attention. Vivo is expected to bring the X Fold 5 along with the X200 FE models to the Indian market in the next few months and we can't wait to see how these products are priced in the region.

Vivo X Fold 5 could launch with slimmer design, bigger battery and lower price than Fold 3 Pro
Vivo is preparing to unveil its upcoming foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold 5, later this year. Although the company has not yet confirmed any official details, leaks and reports have started revealing key features and specifications of the device. These leaks suggest that the Vivo X Fold 5 could offer improvements over its predecessor, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, including a slimmer design and a lower price point. According to a post by a reliable tipster, Panda on Weibo, the Vivo X Fold 5 Pro will feature a 6,000 mAh battery. The device is expected to support fast charging capabilities, with 90W wired charging and 30W wireless charging support. These specifications would make the foldable stand out for its battery capacity among competing models.

This combination aims to deliver smooth performance for multitasking and demanding applications. Furthermore, the Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to feature an 8.03-inch foldable AMOLED display with 2K+ resolution as its main screen. In addition, a secondary 6.53-inch LTPO OLED display will serve as the cover screen. Both displays are rumoured to support a 120Hz refresh rate, which will help provide smoother visuals.

The foldable will reportedly carry dual 32MP selfie cameras, one placed on the cover display and another on the inside. The rear setup may include a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens with autofocus, and a 50MP IMX882 periscope telephoto lens capable of 3x optical zoom. The tipster also suggested that the Vivo X Fold 5 could launch at a price lower than the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. The Fold 3 Pro debuted in China in March 2024 at CNY 9,999 (around Rs. 1,16,000) for the 16GB + 512GB version. A higher-end 16GB + 1TB model was priced at CNY 10,999 (around Rs. 1,27,600).

For reference, the Oppo Find N5 starts at CNY 8,999 (roughly Rs. 1,06,700) for the 12GB + 256GB model and reaches up to CNY 10,999 (around Rs. 1,30,400) for the 16GB + 1TB variant. This suggests that Vivo could position the X Fold 5 within a similar price range to remain competitive. Reports also indicate a possible launch in India next month, alongside the Vivo X200 FE. This move could help Vivo expand its foldable device portfolio in the growing Indian smartphone market.

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. A screenshot from Vivo X Fold 5's teaser video. (Credit: Vivo China) 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.

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.

Of course, the company hasn't officially confirmed these details. However, leaks and recent certifications suggest that an announcement is just around the corner. The X200 FE has already appeared on India's BIS website, plus, both phones are said to bring top-tier features, new designs, and possibly more aggressive pricing in the case of the X Fold 5 foldable with the Vivo X200 FE, this could be a rebranded version of the S30 Pro Mini that launched in China last week. It's expected to feature a 6.31-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, Vivo might use the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ or even the newer Dimensity 9400e chip. Either way, it should offer solid performance for casual and power users the camera front, the X200 FE is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary camera, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel selfie camera.

Vivo X Fold 5 leak reveals a foldable beast with the biggest battery yet
Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. | Image Credit - PhoneArena A new leak has spilled the beans on the spec sheet of the upcoming Vivo X Fold 5. Last year, Vivo's X Fold 3 Pro proved to be a series contender for the foldable phone market. The company released the X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro in March last year, and now, rumors about the successor have surfaced. This time around, the company seems to be planning not two, but one device, and by Chinese tradition, it won't be carrying the number 4, but instead will likely be called the Vivo X Fold 5. Now, the folks at XpertPick, in a collaboration with reputable leaker Yogesh Brar, have gotten their hands on specs for the upcoming foldable phone . Apparently, this would be the global version of the phone. Vivo X Fold 5 leaked specs: 6.53-inch cover display, 8.03-inch foldable display Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 16GB of RAM, 512GB storage 6,000mAh battery, 90W wired, 30W wireless charging Triple camera system, 50MP main, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP 3x periscope telephoto 32MP selfie camera cover screen, 32MP internal camera First off, the phone is said to feature a 6.53-inch LTPO cover display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Opening the foldable, expect to see a big 8.03-inch AMOLED display with 2K+ resolution and once again, the fast 120Hz refresh rate. Curiously enough, the foldable is said to sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which is the same processor found in its predecessor, the Vivo X Fold 3. That's a peculiar decision, given the fact that this year's flagship devices rock the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is notably faster than the Gen 3. On the upside, the foldable is said to sport a big 6,000mAh battery, making it the phone with the biggest battery capacity currently on the market. Paired with the hefty battery is 90W wired charging and 30W wireless charging, once again, top-notch speeds. The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. | Image Credit - PhoneArena The triple camera system on the phone's back also seems promising, judging by this leak. The 50MP Sony IMX921 main camera will reportedly be complemented by a 50MP ultra-wide with autofocus. The third camera is said to feature a 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Excellent specs, and this improvement here is definitely needed over last year's somewhat of a letdown with the camera of the X Fold 3 Pro (as you can see in our review). The phone is said to be equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3-stage Alert Slider, of course, AI features, and an IP rating. The publication doesn't specify the IP rating the foldable may get. Meanwhile, the X Fold 3 Pro sported an IPX4 rating. And of course, we can't speak foldables in 2025 without mentioning thickness, which seems to be one of the phone makers' biggest obsessions nowadays. The Vivo X Fold 5 is said to measure just 4.3mm when unfolded and 9.33mm when folded, which makes it pretty on par with the slim-chic beauties. The world's current thinnest foldable, the Oppo Find N5, measures 4.2mm unfolded and 8.9mm folded, so the Vivo may not steal its crown, but still, it may get close. In the meantime, Samsung may also be ready to join the trend of superslim foldables, and the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is said to be eye-wideningly thin: 3.9mm unfolded and 8.9mm folded. As for the Vivo X Fold 5's release date, nothing is known at this moment. The leak also doesn't offer information on the phone's price or color variants. The curious choice of last year's flagship processor instead of this year's may influence the price, or it may not; we don't have concrete leaks on this just yet. For reference, the X Fold 3 Pro started around $1,500 (although it isn't sold in the U.S.).As for the name, if you've been following China-based brands for some time, you know already: the number 4 carries some seriously grim associations traditionally in Chinese culture, so Vivo skipping the number 4 and going straight to 5 shouldn't surprise you.
