Vivo X Fold 5: Redefining Foldable Design with 9.2mm Slimness
Ultra-Slim Engineering
The Vivo X Fold 5 measures just 9.2mm when folded and 4.3mm when unfolded, making it Vivo’s slimmest foldable to date. Its titanium model weighs only 217g, lighter than its predecessor, the X Fold 3 (219g). The new rotating-sliding kinematic hinge, crafted with FS55 ultra-high-strength steel and carbon fiber, ensures durability while reducing weight, rated for 600,000 folds.
Premium Display Features
The device sports an 8.03-inch 2K AMOLED inner display with a 2480×2200 resolution and a 6.53-inch AMOLED cover display with 2748×1172 resolution. Both screens support a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate and peak brightness of 4,500 nits, ensuring vibrant visuals and smooth performance. High-frequency PWM dimming (1920Hz inner, 2160Hz outer) enhances eye comfort.
Powerful Camera System
Co-engineered with Zeiss, the X Fold 5 features a triple 50MP rear camera setup: a Sony IMX921 primary sensor with OIS, a Sony IMX882 telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a Samsung JN1 ultra-wide lens. It supports up to 100x digital zoom and AI Image Studio features. Dual 20MP front cameras on both screens cater to selfies and video calls.
Robust Performance and Battery
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the X Fold 5 offers up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. It houses a 6,000mAh battery, a first for foldables, with 80W wired and 40W wireless charging. The device runs on Funtouch OS 15 (based on Android 15 in India), ensuring seamless multitasking with features like Workbench for up to five simultaneous tasks.
Enhanced Durability
The X Fold 5 boasts an IP59 rating, offering dust and water resistance under high pressure and temperature, a significant upgrade for foldables. It also supports freeze resistance up to –20°C, making it reliable in extreme conditions. The carbon fiber hinge adds to its robust build.
Pricing and Availability
Set to launch in India on July 14, the X Fold 5 will be available in Titanium Gray via Flipkart, Vivo’s official website, and select retail stores. Prices are expected to start at ₹89,999 for the 12GB+256GB variant, going up to ₹1.15 lakh for the 16GB+1TB model, making it a competitive option against the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
