Vivo product manager Han Boxiao Han Boxiao released the first Vivo X Fold 5 teaser yesterday, saying it will be lighter than the Vivo X Fold 3 from last year that weighs 219 grams. He also said it will set a new record in thinness and lightness. Today, he released real-life images of the X Fold 5 comparing its thickness with that of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The second image above shows the Vivo X Fold 5 in a folded state, appearing only slightly thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which measures 8.25mm. A recent report claimed that the X Fold 5’s folded thickness is 9.33mm, while its unfolded profile could be just 4.3mm — among the slimmest we’ve seen in foldable phones.
The weight is said to be around 209 grams, making it the lightest large-format foldable yet. Vivo also claims the X Fold 5 will be the first in its class with triple protection, likely covering water, dust, and drop resistance.

The phone is expected to feature a 6.53-inch LTPO outer screen and an 8.03-inch 2K+ AMOLED foldable display, both supporting 120Hz refresh rates. Under the hood, it runs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
The X Fold 5 will feature a 6,000mAh battery that supports 90W wired and 30W wireless charging. For optics, there are 32-megapixel selfie cameras on both screens and a rear Zeiss-tuned triple system, including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 main, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 50-megapixel periscope lens with 3x optical zoom.
The Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to launch later this month in China.
