Vivo is reportedly preparing to bring its next foldable, the X Fold 5, to India shortly after its China debut on June 25th. According to industry sources cited by 91mobiles, the device is expected to launch in India sometime between July 10th and 15th. 

Unlike last year, when only the Pro variant made it to India, there is no mention yet of a Pro model for the X Fold 5. That could suggest Vivo is betting on the base variant to carry the load this time. Based on the information available, the X Fold 5 isn’t lacking in hardware ambition.

Vivo X Fold 5 Specifications (Rumored)

The device will reportedly pack a 6,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 40W wireless charging. Vivo claims to be using a fourth-gen silicon-carbon anode design, with up to 12 percent silicon content. That is paired with its second-gen semi-solid-state battery tech, which supposedly keeps the phone functional even in extreme cold, as low as -30°C.

Design-wise, the X Fold 5 is said to be roughly 2mm thinner and 20 grams lighter than the X Fold 3 Pro. When folded, it should come in under 8.2mm thick, which could make it one of the slimmest foldables on the market. 

The foldable will also have triple ingress protection, including IPX8 for water submersion, IPX9+ for high-pressure resistance while folded underwater, and IP5X for dust resistance on the folding mechanism.

Other confirmed features include an 8T LTPO display on both the inner and cover screens with a local peak brightness of 4,500 nits and a high-frequency PWM dimming rate. The camera setup includes a triple-lens system co-developed with Zeiss, including a periscope lens offering 3x optical zoom.

The Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to arrive in three color options: green, titanium, and white.

For the past few days, Vivo has been teasing the key features of the Vivo X Fold 5 before its launch in China. While it has revealed several details, it is yet to confirm the chipset that will power the device. In a new development, a new Vivo phone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip has appeared on Geekbench. It is speculated that this device could be the upcoming Vivo X Fold 5.

Vivo X Fold 5 Geekbench listing

The alleged Vivo X Fold 5 bearing the model number V2436A has emerged in Geekbench’s database. The CPU and GPU (via source code) details confirm that the device is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The same chip powered the China-exclusive Vivo X Fold 3, which debuted last year.

While competing models such as the Oppo Find N5 and the upcoming Honor Magic V5 pack the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, Vivo has decided to use the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip to power the X Fold 5, probably to make it available at a more affordable price.

The Geekbench listing has further revealed that the Vivo X Fold 5 is equipped with 16GB RAM and Android 15. In the single-core and multi-core tests, the device achieved 2,270 and 6,913 points, respectively.

Set to launch on June 25 in China, the Vivo X Fold 5 is confirmed to feature a massive 6,000mAh battery and still measure only 4.3mm in the unfolded state. It will arrive in three shades: Pine Green, White, and Titanium. It will be an IP59+ device and will be durable enough to function normally  at minus 20 degrees Celsius. 

For photography, the device will feature a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera that will support long-range zoom and telephoto macro shots. Vivo claims the X Fold 5 is the first Android phone to connect seamlessly with Apple Watch, AirPods, iPhone calls, messages, and iCloud services. It also supports multi-device file transfer and productivity workflows with Mac, creating a highly connected environment for hybrid users.
