Vivo X Fold 5 : Vivo is gearing up to launch its latest foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold 5, and early leaks suggest it could be a game-changer in the premium segment. While an official global launch date is yet to be confirmed, rumors point to a possible release around July 13, 2025, including in India. Here’s everything we know so far about this highly anticipated device.

Stunning Display and Design

The Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to feature an 8.03-inch foldable AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring ultra-smooth visuals for gaming and multitasking. The cover display is rumored to be a 6.53-inch LTPO AMOLED panel, matching the high refresh rate and brightness of the main screen. With an ultra-thin 4.3mm profile when unfolded and a 217g weight (titanium variant), it promises a sleek yet durable design

Powerhouse Performance

Under the hood, the X Fold 5 is likely to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. This combination ensures top-tier performance for heavy gaming, video editing, and seamless multitasking. It will run on Android 15 with OriginOS 5 (Funtouch OS in India), offering a smooth and intuitive user experience

Triple 50MP Camera Setup with Zeiss Optics

Unlike earlier rumors of a 200MP primary sensor, confirmed specs reveal a triple 50MP rear camera system, including:

  • 50MP wide lens (f/1.6, OIS)

  • 50MP periscope telephoto (3x optical zoom)

  • 50MP ultra-wide lens (119° FOV)
    With Zeiss T lens coating* and advanced computational photography, the X Fold 5 aims to deliver professional-grade imaging. For selfies, it has dual 20MP front cameras (inner and cover displays) 213.

Massive Battery with Fast Charging

6000mAh battery powers the device, supporting 80W wired and 40W wireless charging—a rare feat in foldables. Reverse charging (wired and wireless) is also included, making it a versatile companion for accessories like earbuds or smartwatches

Durability and Unique Features

The X Fold 5 boasts IP58/IP59+ dust/water resistance, surviving immersion up to 3 meters for 30 minutes and high-pressure water jets. It’s also the first Android foldable with Apple Watch support, allowing call answering, message syncing, and health data integration via Vivo Health Connect

Pricing and Availability

Expected to start at CNY 6,999 (~₹84,000) for the base model, the X Fold 5 will compete aggressively with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. While a global release is unconfirmed, India may see a launch soon after its July 2, 2025, China debut
