To compete with Samsung, Vivo may soon launch its next foldable Vivo X Fold 5 in China this month. This time it is also being said that Vivo can also introduce its standard foldable flagship in India. While the company has been testing with the foldable for some time now.
Indian users currently only have the premium X Fold 3 Pro, which was launched last year for Rs 1,59,999. However, the company never introduced the standard X Fold 3 in India. Well now this may change soon, as reports suggest that the X Fold 5 may launch in India next month on July 10 alongside the Vivo X200 FE.
One of the lightest foldable phones
The Vivo X Fold 5 may use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset that is found in the X Fold 3 Pro, so that Vivo can also reduce the price of this device and compete with brands like Samsung. Vivo has confirmed in the initial teaser that this will be one of the lightest foldable phones in the world.
As per the teaser, the device weighs just 209 grams, which is lighter than the 219 grams of the X Fold 3 and the 236 grams of the X Fold 3 Pro. In terms of thickness, too, the Vivo X Fold 5 is going to be 4.3 mm thick when opened and 9.33 mm thick when folded . While this is not enough to compete with the Oppo Find N5, it will still make it one of the thinnest and lightest foldables.
Vivo X Fold 5 Specifications (Leaked)
- Display: The Vivo X Fold 5 is said to have a 6.53-inch cover display and an 8.03-inch primary display . Both displays could come with AMOLED panels, 2K resolution, and 120Hz refresh rate. Its predecessor, the Vivo X Fold 3, also features the same display specifications.
- Processor: The Vivo X Fold 5 could feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which would be a generational upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the X Fold 3. Even though the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is no longer the latest (it’s a 2023 flagship), it still delivers strong and reliable performance.
- RAM and storage: The foldable phone could come with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. More configurations can be expected at launch.
- Battery and charging: The Vivo X Fold 5 could feature a 6,000mAh battery. If this turns out to be true, it would be a decent upgrade over the 5,500mAh battery on the X Fold 3 and the 5,700mAh battery on the X Fold 3 Pro. Apart from this, the phone is expected to get 90W fast charging support, which is slightly better than the 80W charging of the X Fold 3.
- Camera: Vivo X Fold 5 can possibly get a triple camera setup like its older model, which can include a 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide lens and a periscope camera. A 32MP dual camera setup is also expected in the front, which will be the same as X Fold 3.
- Other Features: The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor like before. Apart from this, features like alert slider, AI features and IP rating can also be found in it.
