vivo X Fold5 With A 6,000 mAh Battery, Triple 50MP Camera Setup, And Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Launched In India

The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has launched its latest book-style foldable — the vivo X Fold5 — in India. Competing directly with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 (hands-on review), the X Fold5 sets a new benchmark in terms of battery size for foldable handsets. It features a massive 6,000 mAh dual-cell battery that charges almost as fast as modern brick-style smartphones.

Even otherwise, the foldable offers a massive screen (it’s almost like carrying a tablet in your pocket), a capable Snapdragon chipset, and a 50MP triple rear-facing camera setup. Check out more details about the foldable, including its price, availability, design, features, and specifications below.

vivo X Fold5 Key Features and Specifications

First up, the X Fold5 features a 6.53-inch LTPO AMOLED cover screen (413 ppi) that supports a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. On the inside, the foldable boasts an 8.03-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits.

Regarding optics, the vivo X Fold5 features a triple 50MP camera setup, including a 50MP (f/1.6, OIS) primary camera, a 50MP (f/2.6, OIS) secondary camera with a 3x optical zoom lens, and a 50MP (f/2.1, 119°) ultrawide camera. Additionally, the phone features a 20MP (f/2.4) camera on both the cover screen and the inner screen.
