Vivo X-Fold 5: Slim, Lightweight, and Powerful Foldable Phone May Launch in India Soon

Vivo X-Fold 5
Vivo is set to heat up the foldable smartphone market with the launch of the Vivo X-Fold 5 — a feature-rich, ultra-slim foldable phone that could debut in China this month and may soon arrive in India as well. With a cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, lightweight design, and a massive battery, the X-Fold 5 could challenge market leaders like Samsung in the high-end foldable segment.

India Launch Likely by July 10

According to multiple reports, Vivo is gearing up to launch the X-Fold 5 in India, possibly alongside the Vivo X200 FE on July 10. While Indian consumers have previously had access only to the high-end X Fold 3 Pro priced at ₹1,59,999, the X-Fold 5 might be the brand’s first mainstream foldable in India. If launched, it could offer consumers a more affordable alternative with flagship-grade features.

Slimmest and Lightest in Its Class

In a teaser released by Vivo, the company revealed that the X-Fold 5 will be among the lightest foldable smartphones ever, weighing just 209 grams. This is a significant reduction from the X Fold 3 Pro’s 236 grams. With a folded thickness of 9.33mm and just 4.3mm when unfolded, the X-Fold 5 is shaping up to be one of the sleekest devices in the foldable category — although still slightly bulkier than the Oppo Find N5.

Immersive Dual Displays with 120Hz Refresh Rate

The X-Fold 5 will likely feature a 6.53-inch LTPO AMOLED cover display and an 8.03-inch 2K+ AMOLED inner display — both supporting a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. These specifications make it ideal for multitasking, gaming, and high-resolution content consumption. The outer screen is expected to offer enhanced brightness and color accuracy, ensuring a premium user experience whether folded or open.

Powerful Battery and Fast Charging

One of the standout features of the Vivo X-Fold 5 is its massive 6,000mAh battery — the largest seen on any foldable phone to date. Vivo is also packing in 90W wired fast charging and 30W wireless charging support, making it not just powerful but also practical for everyday use. This addresses a key concern with foldables: battery life.

Flagship-Grade Camera Setup

On the camera front, the X-Fold 5 includes a versatile triple-lens rear system. The setup features a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. For selfies and video calls, both the inner and outer displays house a 32MP front camera, offering convenience and high-quality imaging across use cases.

A Serious Samsung Competitor

With its premium specs, slim form factor, and focus on performance, the Vivo X-Fold 5 is clearly designed to go head-to-head with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series. If priced strategically in India, it could become a preferred option for users looking to invest in next-gen foldable TECHNOLOGY without compromising on hardware or features.

As foldable phones gain traction in the global market, Vivo’s move to bring a mainstream foldable to India could signal a broader shift in the company’s mobile strategy — one that embraces innovation and premium design while expanding consumer choice.
