vivo X Fold5 review – GSMArena.com tests

Introduction

vivo’s X Fold series has rapidly earned a reputation for blending cutting-edge hardware with sleek, pocketable design – and the new X Fold5 continues that legacy in bold fashion. Unveiled as the company’s sole flagship foldable this year, the X Fold5 builds on the success of the X Fold3 series with meaningful upgrades in design, battery life, and performance. The company has skipped an X Fold4 model altogether, possibly due to the number 4 being considered unlucky in Chinese culture.

At just 4.3 mm thin when unfolded and weighing 217 g, it is the lightest and slimmest “book-style” foldable device that vivo has ever made. This is made possible by a reengineered hinge and the use of aerospace-grade materials, continuing vivo’s push to deliver elegant yet robust foldables.

Battery life sees a capacity increase with the introduction of a 6,000 mAh semi-solid Si/C battery, a first for the segment. It’s paired with 80W wired and 40W wireless charging.

Camera-wise, the vivo X Fold5 takes more of a side-step compared to its predecessor than a clear-cut upgrade. The main camera is still a 50MP unit, now with a brighter f/1.6 aperture, though it uses a slightly smaller 1/1.56-inch sensor (down from 1/1.3″). The ultrawide maintains a similar sensor size and 15mm focal length, but it is now coupled with a f/2.1 lens, still offering phase-detection autofocus.

The zoom camera swaps the previous 64MP sensor for a 50MP 1/1.95-inch unit, while extending reach with an 85mm f/2.6 periscope lens, up from 70mm. While the setup is still ZEISS co-engineered and quite capable, it’s a reshuffle rather than a significant generational leap.

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring top-tier performance. It runs Android 15 out of the box with vivo’s OriginOS 5 in China or Funtouch OS 15 for global markets, complete with enhanced multitasking features and foldable-optimized UI elements.

With a competitive price tag and a spec sheet that ticks all the right boxes – especially in terms of design, battery, and display – the vivo X Fold5 positions itself as a serious challenger in the premium foldable segment. Let’s see if the experience lives up to the promise.

Unboxing

The vivo X Fold5 ships in a lavish two-piece cardboard box. It is very rigid and should protect the phone quite well during shipping. As with all foldables, the unit itself comes fully open inside a plastic cradle.

Our X Fold5 review unit came with a 90W FlashCharge charger in the box. It still uses a USB Type-A lead on the charger side, but at least the provided USB Type-A to Type-C cable seems to be standard and non-proprietary (without extra pins). Also in the box is a hard plastic case, or rather, shell for the phone. It mostly covers half of it, but that’s about what you can hope for out of a case for a book-style foldable.
