Vivo’s back in the foldable game, and this time it’s not playing around. The X Fold 5 just dropped, and it’s easily one of the slickest foldables we’ve seen so far. It’s got the looks, the brains, and the build to match. Foldables might not be new-new anymore, but they’re still rare enough to turn heads—and Vivo’s clearly trying to make this one the total package.
So what’s the damage? ₹1,49,999. Yup, it's pricey—but that gets you the fully loaded 16GB + 512GB variant. You can pre-order it now, and it’ll hit Flipkart and Vivo’s site starting July 30. It comes in one colour: Titanium Grey. Sounds boring? It’s not. This thing looks like it was designed by a Bond villain—clean, sharp, and seriously premium.
The unboxing? Straight up flagship vibes
The box alone screams money. It’s black, square, and has this raised circle in the middle that matches the phone’s massive camera module. There’s Zeiss branding too, which adds to the flex. Open it up, and boom—the X Fold 5 is chilling right there, wrapped in film and sitting like a crown jewel.
Under the hood tray, you get all the usual suspects: an 80W charger, USB-A to USB-C cable, SIM tool, docs, and a snap-on case with a leather-style finish. Honestly, even the case feels luxe. Vivo knew what it was doing.
Super slim, crazy light
This phone’s thinness is wild. When folded, it’s 9.2mm, and when open, it’s just 4.3mm. And despite packing all that screen and hardware, it only weighs 217g. Most foldables feel like bricks—this one doesn’t.
The Titanium Grey colour slaps in real life. There’s a big, bold camera bump with a golden ring around it (subtle flex), and the fingerprint scanner sits on the side. It’s giving luxury, but make it tech.
The specs are stacked
Inside, you’ve got a massive 8.03-inch AMOLED main display and a 6.53-inch cover screen—both with 120Hz refresh rates, 4,500 nits brightness, and Zeiss-level colour calibration. And yeah, the bezels are barely there.
Running the show is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, with 16 gigs of RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. It’s powered by Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, so you're getting the latest straight out of the box.
On the camera front, it’s triple 50MP at the back—main, 3X telephoto, and ultrawide—all with OIS. For selfies? You’ve got 20MP sensors on both the inner and outer displays. Because one isn’t enough, obviously.
And the battery? It’s a 6,000mAh beast, with 80W wired and 40W wireless charging. Vivo’s even slapped on IPX8, IPX9, and IP5X ratings. That’s basically “go ahead, challenge me” level durability.
Early thoughts? This one’s a flex
The X Fold 5 isn’t just another foldable—it actually feels finished. It’s sleek, powerful, and surprisingly practical. If you’ve got the cash and you’re ready to make a statement, this one’s for you. Foldables are cool again—and Vivo just raised the bar.
