vivo X Fold 5 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The Vivo X Fold5 may not be the most powerful foldable or the absolute best in every category, but for its price, it offers a well-rounded package that balances premium design, productivity-oriented features, and capable hardware. It stands out in areas like multitasking, battery life, and display quality, while additions like the Origin Workbench and practical AI tools further elevate its appeal.
Pros
- Sleek, durable, lightweight
- Excellent multitasking features
- Impressive battery life
- Solid cameras in dayligh
Cons
- Older chipset
- Software support not class leading
More durable & slimmer design
+
The Vivo X Fold5 retains a design reminiscent of its predecessor, the X Fold3 Pro, but with notable refinements in weight and thickness for improved ergonomics. The handset weighs just 217 grams and measures 9.2mm in thickness, making it lighter and thinner than some of the new-age ultra-premium smartphones. Moreover, when unfolded, the device is only 4.3mm thick, slimmer than the ring on my finger. The slim form factor also comes with enhanced durability. In fact, the X Fold5 is rated to withstand 6,00,000 folds and unfolds, a 25 percent increase over its predecessor. While I couldn't verify this claim during my usage, I handled the device just like a regular smartphone, even tossing it around casually, and it didn't show the slightest sign of weakness.

Identical displays
+
The Vivo X Fold5 features dual displays: an 8.03-inch main and a 6.53-inch cover screen. Both are of the AMOLED variety with thin, even bezels all around and support for up to 120Hz refresh rate. Since these are LTPO panels, the refresh rate is dynamic, dropping all the way to 1Hz to save battery. Furthermore, the displays are HDR10+ compliant and fine-tuned by Dolby Vision, resulting in an impressive visual experience with deep blacks and near-accurate colours. Speaking of which, the colours are customisable.

Zeiss-backed cameras
+
For photography, the Vivo X Fold5 features a triple rear camera setup, with a 50MP Sony IMX921 OIS primary sensor, a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS telephoto unit that can go up to 3x zoom optically and 100x digitally. The cameras have been developed in collaboration with ZEISS for enhanced details and colour accuracy. While the images showcase strong detailing, they often lean towards vivid, oversaturated tones in default settings, boosting colours to make scenes more eye-catching than realistic.

Dated, yet capable performance
+
At the core of the Vivo X Fold5 lies the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, the same chipset that powered the X Fold3 Pro. While still capable and efficient, it may disappoint specs-focused users, especially given that it has since been succeeded by the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset seen in newer flagships. As a result, you will find that the smartphone can't match competitors in raw performance on global benchmarking apps such as AnTuTu and Geekbench. The handset throttles a bit too, with its peak performance dropping to 30 percent in our Burnout CPU throttle test. This dip occurred despite the large Vapour Chamber and graphite cooling system, both designed to dissipate heat during intense activities.
Read More
Foldable-focused features
+
As for the software, the Vivo X Fold5 runs FunTouch OS 15 based on Android 15 right out of the box. While this may not be the absolute latest version of Android in the broader smartphone landscape, it is the most current iteration available from Vivo. Interestingly, it's the same software seen across Vivo's flagship, mid-range, and even affordable devices this year.

Biggest foldable battery
+
The Vivo X Fold5 features a 6,000mAh battery - the biggest ever in a foldable. The OEM is using a silicone-carbon battery with a dual-layer anode design to prevent battery degradation during charge cycles. Users can expect up to a day and a half of battery endurance using the smartphone in both foldable and unfolded forms for multitasking, browsing, streaming, social media scrolling, and more. Slightly extensive usage, such as gaming for hours, might see you charging the device sooner than that, but it is still impressive for a foldable with a display north of 8 inches.
