Vivo is all set to expand its foldable portfolio in India with the highly anticipated Vivo X Fold 5. The device has already debuted in China on June 25th, and sources confirm it will arrive in India between July 10 and July 15, 2025.
If you’re looking for a feature-packed, next-gen foldable phone, the X Fold 5 might just be the one to watch.
Here’s a complete breakdown of what you can expect from Vivo’s latest foldable marvel.
Launch
The Vivo X Fold 5 will be launching in India sometime between July 10th and July 15th, according to industry insiders. Although the exact date remains unconfirmed, all signs point to an official announcement within that window.
It was recently spotted on the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification site, all but confirming its India launch.
Interestingly, Vivo launched only the X Fold 3 Pro in India earlier this year and skipped the standard variant. But this time, there’s no “Pro” version mentioned, suggesting the regular X Fold 5 could be India’s main foldable flagship from Vivo in 2025.
Battery
One of the biggest highlights of the Vivo X Fold 5 is its massive 6,000mAh battery, making it the largest battery in any foldable phone to date.
It supports:
- 80W wired fast charging
- 40W wireless charging
- 4th-gen silicon-carbon anode battery tech
- 12 percent silicon content for slimmer battery build
- -30°C operation capability (semi-solid-state battery)
All this battery innovation means longer usage, faster charging, and exceptional cold-weather performance.
Design
Vivo claims the X Fold 5 will be the thinnest and lightest foldable phone ever. Compared to the previous Vivo X Fold 3 Pro:
| Feature | X Fold 3 Pro | X Fold 5 (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness (Folded) | 11.2 mm | ~9.2 mm |
| Weight | ~219g | ~199g |
That’s 2mm thinner and 20g lighter, a significant achievement in foldable design. The body will also be available in three sleek colors: green, titanium, and white.
Display
Vivo is pulling out all the stops when it comes to screen tech:
- 8T LTPO panels (for both cover and main display)
- Peak brightness of 4,500 nits (local zones)
- High-frequency PWM dimming for eye comfort
Expect smoother visuals, better battery efficiency, and enhanced sunlight legibility—ideal for media lovers.
Camera
The triple-camera setup on the Vivo X Fold 5 is co-engineered with Zeiss, bringing serious optics to the foldable space.
Key camera features include:
- Triple rear cameras with Zeiss lenses
- Periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom
- Pro-grade color tuning and detailing
This setup is designed for photography enthusiasts who want more from their foldable than just form factor.
Durability
Vivo has equipped the X Fold 5 with industry-leading protection ratings:
- IPX8 – Water resistant up to 3 meters
- IPX9 and IPX9+ – Withstands high temperature, pressure, and underwater folding
- IP5X – Dust-resistant, even for the folding mechanism
These ratings make the X Fold 5 one of the most rugged foldables yet, without compromising on looks or portability.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| India Launch | July 10–15, 2025 |
| Battery | 6,000mAh, 80W wired, 40W wireless |
| Display | 8T LTPO, 4,500 nits, PWM dimming |
| Cameras | Zeiss optics, 3x periscope zoom |

With such a spec-packed foldable, Vivo is clearly positioning the X Fold 5 as a premium flagship meant to challenge foldable leaders like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Honor Magic V3, both of which are also aiming for ultra-thin and lightweight designs.
