Vivo X Fold 5 could be slimmest foldable yet with 6,000mAh battery, leak suggests

Vivo appears to be streamlining its foldable phone strategy this year. While the company launched two foldables in China last year — the X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro — only the Pro model reached international markets, including India. However, things seem set to change in 2025. According to a report by XpertPick, Vivo plans to launch just one foldable device globally, expected to be named the Vivo X Fold 5. The likely reason for skipping from 3 to 5 is that the number "4" is considered unlucky in some Asian cultures. advertisementThe Vivo X Fold 5 is rumoured to feature a 6.53-inch LTPO cover display with a 120Hz refresh rate, alongside an 8.03-inch inner foldable AMOLED screen, also with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2K+ resolution. It is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset — the same SoC found in last year's Vivo X Fold 3 Pro — paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. While that might not sound like a leap forward in terms of raw performance, the device brings significant changes elsewhere.

One of the key highlights is the rumoured 6,000mAh battery, which will be the largest in any foldable phone on the market. It is said to support 90W wired and 30W wireless charging, which should translate to solid endurance and quick top-ups.advertisement
In terms of camera, the Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to pack dual 32-megapixel selfie cameras — one on the cover display and another on the inside. The rear camera module is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens with autofocus, and a 50-megapixel IMX882 periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom.Additional features are said to include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3-stage Alert Slider, AI-powered tools, and an IP rating, probably an IPX8 rating for water resistance. If the rumours are to be believed, the Vivo X Fold 5 will be among the slimmest foldables available at just 4.3mm when unfolded and 9.33mm when folded.While Vivo hasn't yet confirmed a launch timeline or pricing, the use of the same chipset as last year raises the possibility of a more aggressive price tag. To recall, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro was launched in India at Rs 1,59,999 for the sole 16GB RAM + 512GB storage variant. In our review, we found it to be a well-rounded device that delivered top-tier performance, excellent cameras, long battery life and perhaps the best design among foldables at the time. If the Vivo X Fold 5 builds on that foundation while being thinner and packing a larger battery, it could offer even better value for users looking for a top-tier foldable smartphone.

However, the official launch date is still awaited. This launch timeline is very close to the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event, which is expected to take place on July 9. Therefore, in the same month, we will get two flagship book-style foldables, enabling buyers to have wider options. Alongside the India launch timeline, the Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to come with a thin and lightweight design.
