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.

The sequel to the world's lightest foldable could embarrass the Z Fold 7 Ultra
TL;DR Vivo has posted two images comparing the upcoming X Fold 5 foldable to an iPhone 16 Pro Max. One image shows that the folded device is similarly thick as the iPhone. The company also posted a video suggesting that the X Fold 5 could be the lightest foldable phone on the market. Vivo launched the X Fold 3 series last year, and the standard model might still be the world's lightest book-style foldable phone. Now, vivo has revealed that the X Fold 5 is in the works, while showing off its thin and light design. Company executive Han Boxiao posted two images on Weibo comparing the X Fold 5 to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. I don't care about the comparison between the unfolded device and the iPhone because any unfurled foldable looks thin. However, the second image (also seen at the top of the page) shows the folded device next to the iPhone, and it's tough to definitively tell which model is thinner. In other words, the new foldable could match some conventional smartphones in terms of thickness. A previous leak suggests a 9.33mm thickness, which wouldn't make it the thinnest foldable on the market but would still make for a slimmer design than its predecessor. The company isn't stopping here, though, as it also posted a video comparing the X Fold 5's weight to that of the X Fold 3. You can view this clip below. The clip shows that the X Fold 5 is lighter than the X Fold 3. For what it's worth, the latter is still the lightest book-style foldable on the market at 219 grams. It doesn't look like vivo is making major compromises to achieve this thin and light design, though. X Fold 5 specs leaked last month point to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset (up from the X Fold 3's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2), 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and a 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired and 30W wireless charging. Other tipped specs include a 6.53-inch cover screen, an 8.03-inch folding display, a triple 50MP rear camera system (including a 3x camera), a side fingerprint scanner, and an alert slider. For what it's worth, the X Fold 5 could be slightly thicker than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (or Z Fold 7 Ultra), which is said to measure 9mm when folded. There's no word on the Samsung phone's weight, though. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also tipped to arrive with a 200MP main camera and a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. However, vivo will likely outpace the Galaxy phone when it comes to battery capacity, charging speeds, and secondary cameras. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

vivo unveiled the X Fold3 last March, and its successor - called X Fold5 instead of Fold4 - is coming soon. vivo recently posted a video showing the Fold5 being lighter than the Fold3, weighing 219g. Now, a brand official has shared a couple of images comparing the vivo X Fold5's thickness with that of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. The pictures show the vivo X Fold5 in both folded and unfolded states, positioned next to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. You can see that in unfolded state, the X Fold5 is thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but even in folded state, it's only slightly thicker than the iPhone. That's impressive since the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 8.3mm thick, while the X Fold3 is 10.2mm thick when folded.

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. 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.
