Vivo is gearing up to release its next generation of foldable phones very soon, and it might change the foldable smartphone industry, claiming to be the world’s lightest foldable smartphone. At only 219 grams, the Vivo X Fold 5 might be the lightest foldable smartphone with a book design ever made, lighter than several traditional regular phones. Advanced materials and engineering allowed the phone to be just 4.3mm thick when unfolded and 9.33mm thick when folded.
More Details
Vivo X Fold 5 will come with a 2K+ foldable AMOLED screen inside that measures 8.03 inches, and there is an LTPO cover screen outside measuring 6.53 inches. Support for a 120Hz refresh rate is expected for both screens, so you can enjoy fast and responsive visuals.
The Smartphone will also feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and the RAM and storage are expected to be up to 16GB and 512GB, respectively. Although it’s not the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset but 8 Gen 3 still offers blazing fast performance and efficiency.
Another highlight of the X Fold 5 is its battery capacity, featuring the largest battery ever on a folding device at 6000mAh. This massive battery will be paired with 90W wired and 30W wireless charging technology.
When it comes to imaging, of course, Vivo will come at the top. And the X Fold 5 is not any different, featuring a 50MP triple rear camera setup, which includes a Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens with autofocus, and a 50MP IMX882 periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, all co-engineered with Zeiss optics. The device also offers dual 32MP selfie cameras—one on each display.
Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, multiple AI capabilities, a 3-stage alert slider, and an IPX4 rating for durability.

Vivo has announced that the X Fold 5 will be released in China later this month. Regarding the Global Launch, it is yet to be confirmed, but the device is already certified on various global certification sites and is expected to be released later in Q3 2025, including India.
