Vivo X Fold 5 is finally here to up the ante and take the early plaudits before the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 rolls out next month. The X Fold 5 builds on the promising X Fold 3 Pro version and looks to change the dynamics of a foldable that can give a tough fight to the best in the business. Vivo is using last year’s Snapdragon 8 chipset but upgrades in almost every other aspect. 

The company has been comparing its design and sleekness with the iPhone 16 Pro Max recently and these official visuals give us the clear details. 

Vivo X Fold 5 Price And More 

Vivo X Fold 5 is priced at CNY 6,999 (Rs 84,000 approx) for the 12GB + 256GB variant, going up to CNY 7,999 (Rs 96,000 approx) if you want the higher 12GB + 512GB model. There are other options with 16GB + 512GB/1TB storage that cost CNY 8,499 and CNY 9,499, respectively. 

Vivo X Fold 5 India launch is widely tipped for July and going by these prices, we are hoping the brand keeps it aggressive this year.
