vivo X Fold 5 Pricing Expectations
vivo will also launch the vivo Pad 5e tablet, featuring a 12.1-inch LCD and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the vivo TWS Air 3 Pro earbuds alongside the X Fold 5. The X Fold 5’s lighter design and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 may position it at a lower price than the Find N5 and Magic V5, which use Snapdragon 8 Elite chips. This likely means that the X Fold 5, when it launches in India, will be cheaper than the X Fold 3 Pro.
