Vivo X Fold 5 launching in India on July 14: 5 things we know
Vivo is ready to launch two new smartphones in India — the Vivo X Fold 5 and Vivo X200 FE — on July 14 at 12pm IST. While both were recently launched in China and Taiwan, they’re now set to arrive for Indian customers via Flipkart and Vivo’s official website.
It’s a foldable phone with premium camera hardware The Vivo X Fold 5 isn’t just about the folding screen — it’s bringing some serious camera muscle to the table. The phone will feature a triple rear camera setup tuned by Zeiss, which includes a 50MP Sony IMX921 main sensor, a 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto lens, and a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultrawide shooter. This kind of hardware suggests Vivo is aiming for photography performance that rivals the best flagship phones out there, especially in low light and wide-angle scenarios.
2/5
It will come with a powerful battery and fast charging The X Fold 5 will be powered by a 6,000mAh battery, which is pretty big considering the power needs of a foldable display. Vivo is also offering 80W wired fast charging, so even with a large battery, you won’t be stuck charging it for long. That’s a major plus for users who are constantly on the go and need their phones topped up quickly.
3/5
Expected to cost nearly Rs. 1.5 lakh in India While the official prices are yet to be confirmed, a well-known tipster suggests that the Vivo X Fold 5 might be priced at Rs. 1,49,999 for the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant. This puts it in the ultra-premium category, targeting power users and tech enthusiasts who want cutting-edge innovation, especially in the foldable segment. If priced as expected, it will compete with devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series.
4/5
It will launch in a Titanium Grey shade (and maybe White too) Vivo has confirmed that the foldable will be available in Titanium Grey, giving it a sleek, modern look. There are hints that a white colour option might also be on the cards, although that hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. Either way, the device is clearly designed to look as premium as it performs.
It launches alongside the Vivo X200 FE, but targets a different audience Although the Vivo X200 FE is launching on the same day and boasts solid specs — like a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chip, 6,500mAh battery, and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance — the X Fold 5 is positioned as a luxury foldable device. The X200 FE will be more accessible, likely priced starting at Rs. 54,999, but the Fold 5 will be Vivo’s statement product, aimed at users who want innovation, design, and flagship-grade performance all rolled into one.
