Vivo is set to shake up the foldable smartphone segment in India with the much-anticipated launch of the Vivo X Fold 5. Following its debut in China just a week ago, the brand has now officially teased its arrival in the Indian market. Although the exact launch date hasn’t been disclosed yet, insiders suggest that the device will arrive between July 10 and July 15, 2025.

This new foldable flagship is the successor to the Vivo X Fold 3 and is being marketed as the slimmest foldable device powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. With top-tier camera optics co-engineered with Zeiss, a massive 6,000mAh battery, and stunning dual AMOLED displays, the X Fold 5 is expected to deliver a premium experience and compete with the likes of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Official Teaser Highlights

The official teaser shared by Vivo on X (formerly Twitter) comes with the tagline “It’s Reimagined Everything”, hinting at major design and performance upgrades.

From the teaser video:

The foldable flaunts a large circular rear camera module, continuing Vivo’s distinct design language.

The main display houses a punch-hole selfie camera located near the top right corner.

The design appears sleek and lightweight, measuring just 226 grams, making it lighter than many competing foldables.

Expected Launch Window

While the brand has not confirmed the launch date yet, industry sources suggest that the Vivo X Fold 5 will launch in India between July 10 and July 15, 2025. This timeline positions it head-to-head with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, expected to debut on July 9.
