The Vivo X Fold5 isn't just a phone that bends; it's a sleek, pocket-friendly wonder that aims to be even thinner than its predecessors, boasting an aerospace-grade hinge for all your folding whims.
Let's dive into the screens, because with a foldable, it's a double delight! The X Fold5 comes with a rather grand 2K ZEISS Master Display. It's not just big; it's also bright, claiming the title of India's biggest and brightest display in a foldable, hitting a scorching 4500 nits peak brightness. Whether you're soaking up some rays or squinting in the office, clarity shouldn't be an issue. You've got an expansive 8.03-inch main screen for all your grand plans, and a perfectly respectable 6.53-inch cover screen for when you want to keep things compact. Both rock a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Powering this bendy beast is what Vivo is calling India's biggest battery in a foldable, a beefy 6000 mAh cell. So, you can fold and unfold to your heart's content without constantly eyeing the nearest power outlet. And when it finally taps out, you've got 80W wired and 40W wireless fast charging to get you back in the game.
Durability? Oh, it's covered, and then some! The X Fold5 boasts triple protection, with IPX8, IPX9, and even IPX9+ ratings for water resistance, meaning it can handle a proper dunking and high-pressure splashes. Plus, there's IP5X dust resistance, and it's engineered to work in chilly conditions down to -20°C. Talk about being tough as old boots, or rather, as new aerospace-grade hinges.
The X Fold5 carries a ZEISS co-engineered imaging system, which means your photos should be looking rather spiffing. You'll find a 50MP ZEISS Telephoto Camera with 3x optical zoom and a rather impressive 100x digital zoom for those long-distance peeks. There's also a 50MP Main Camera and a 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera with a generous 120° field of view for landscapes and group shots.
Under the hood, driving all this foldable goodness is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. Paired with a generous 16GB of RAM and a whopping 512GB of storage, this phone is built for those who mean business (and play a lot of photos).
The Vivo X Fold5 is available in a sophisticated Titanium Gray finish and will set you back ₹1,49,999. Pre-booking starts now, with the phone hitting shelves on July 30, 2025.
