Why Vivo X Fold 5 Stands Out?
- Slim and lightweight: At 226 grams, it is lighter than many other foldables, including the OnePlus Open (245g).
- Powerful performance: Comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which offers faster CPU and GPU performance.
- Stunning display: The foldable display supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and has peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits.
- Premium cameras: All three rear cameras are 50MP and tuned by Zeiss, promising clear and sharp images.
- Massive battery: One of the largest in a foldable—6,000mAh, enough for all-day use.
If you are someone who wants to switch to a foldable smartphone and enjoy a big screen, the Vivo X Fold 5 is a solid option. It’s expected to be more affordable than other flagships like the Galaxy Z Fold series.
However, Samsung is also set to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 on July 9, and it may feature the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 ‘Elite’ version, which could have even better performance.
