Vivo is gearing up to launch its flagship foldable, the X Fold 5, in India this July, following its debut in China last month. The device is already making waves for its sleek design, Zeiss-powered triple 50MP camera setup, and a massive 6000mAh battery—the largest ever in a foldable phone.

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, it offers up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.1 storage, running Android 15 with OriginOS 5.

 

Camera-wise, the foldable boasts a 50MP Sony IMX921 main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and Zeiss T* coating. Dual 20MP selfie cameras are embedded on both displays.

 

Key Highlights:
