Introduction

Vivo’s X fold series has earned a reputation for state -of -the -art hardware with rapidly sleek, plural design – and the new X fold 5 continues that heritage in bold fashion. The company’s only flagship foldable this year was unveiled, with design, battery life and meaningful upgradation in the performance of the X fold 5X fold 3 series. The company has completely abandoned an X fold 4 model, possibly number 4 is considered inauspicious in Chinese culture.

Only 4.3 mm thin on thin when 217 grams are revealed and weight, it is the lightest and thin “book-style” foldable device that Vivo has ever made. It is possible by the use of a rearrowed hinge and aerospace-grade materials, the beautiful yet continues to push the vivo to distribute strong foldables.

The battery life sees an increase in a capacity with the introduction of 6,000 mAh cm-solid SI/C battery, which is for the first section. It is paired with 80W wired and 40W wireless charging.

Camera-wise, Vivo X fold 5 takes more than a side-step than its predecessor compared to a clear-cut upgrade. The main camera is still a 50MP unit, now with a bright f/1.6 aperture, although it uses a slightly small 1/1.56-inch sensor (below 1/1.3 “). Ultravide maintains a uniform sensor size and 15 mm focal length, but it is now coupled with AF/2.1 lenses, it is now a step-defaulting autophytic. Is.

The zoom camera swaps the previous 64MP sensor for 50mp 1/1.95-inch unit, while 85 mm f/2.6 reaches above 70 mm with periscope lenses. While the setup is still zeiss co-engineer and quite capable, it is a reshuffle rather than a significant generation leap.

Powering the device is Snapdragon 8 General 3 with RAM and 1TB UFS 4.1 storage, which ensures top level performance. It runs Android 15 out of the box with the original 5 of Vivo in China or is completed with Funtch OS 15 for global markets, enhanced multitasking features and foldable-unfeated UI elements.

With a competitive price tag and a speck sheet that ticks all the right boxes – especially in the context of the design, battery, and display – the Vivo X fold 5 holds itself as a serious challenge in the 5 premium foldable segment. Let’s see if the experience lasts.

Out of the box

Vivo X fold 5 ships in a grand two-tukra cardboard box. This is very rigid and the phone should be preserved quite well during shipping. With all the foldables, the unit in itself opens completely inside a plastic cradle.

Our X fold 5 review unit came in the box with a 90W flashcharge charger. It still uses a USB Type-A lead on the charger side, but at least provided the Type-C cable from the USB Type-A gives standard and non-malikana (without additional pin). The box also has a difficult plastic case, or is rather shell for the phone. It mostly covers half of it, but it is about what you can do out of a case for the book-style foldable.
