A recent report has revealed almost everything about the upcoming Vivo X Fold 5 foldable phone. Unlike last year, when the brand launched two models — the Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro — this year may see the arrival of only one device. Interestingly, Vivo has reportedly decided to skip the number “4” in its naming. This is a common practice among Chinese brands, as the number 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese culture due to its phonetic similarity to the word for “death.” While the recent report revealed several specifications of the X Fold 5, it did not mention anything about its launch timeline. However, in a recent Weibo post, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the device will debut in the coming months.
Vivo X Fold 5 launch timeframe (rumored)
According to DCS, the Vivo X Fold 5’s launch timeline is tentatively scheduled for July in China, but the brand is also aiming to possibly move it up to June, depending on internal progress. To recall, the tipster previously claimed that the X Fold 5 will debut in Q3 this year in the home market.
He added that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Vivo X Fold 5 will come with several key highlights. The device is expected to feature a sizeable 6,000mAh battery, support wireless charging, and include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens. The camera module retains the brand’s signature large circular layout, positioning the phone as a design-centric imaging flagship.
On the front, the Vivo X Fold 5 is likely to feature dual 20-megapixel selfie cameras, placed on the cover and internal displays, respectively. Interestingly, this contradicts a recent report that claims the X Fold 5 will have two 32-megapixel selfie cameras on the front and inside.
The engineering prototype reportedly runs a system that supports all-day Always-On Display (AOD) functionality. The top-end variant is expected to ship with a 16GB+1TB configuration. Readers can visit this post to read the entire specifications of the X Fold 5.
