Vivo X Fold5 – Comparison with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7

The X Fold5 will be directly competing with the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, which starts at Rs 1,74,999.

While both phones feature a book-style folding design, the Vivo X Fold5 sets itself apart with its circular camera module and dimensions. It is 4.3mm in thickness and 217g in weight, which is slightly heavier than Samsung’s latest. Z Fold7 is touted as the “thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet.”

Vivo X Fold5 – Key Features

The Vivo X Fold5 features dual AMOLED panels. The main foldable screen is 8.03 inches with a 2,480 × 2,200 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The cover screen is 6.53 inches, also with a high resolution and smooth refresh rate. The display continuity feature allows seamless app transitions between the two screens.

The phone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is now one generation old but still delivers solid performance. It runs Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15 and includes a host of AI tools like AI Captions that converts audio to text during meetings and Origin Workbench to let users run up to five apps at once.

Durability-wise, the X Fold5 has Armour Glass protection and is IP59 rated for water and dust resistance, a step up from the IP48 rating on Samsung’s foldable.

Vivo takes the lead with its 6,000mAh battery paired with 80W FlashCharge and 40W wireless charging. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold7 has a smaller 4,400mAh battery with 25W wired charging. The X Fold5 also includes a charger in the box, which Samsung skips.

The X Fold5 comes with five cameras in total. These include –

• Two 20MP selfie cameras, one on the cover display and one inside the main screen.
• A triple 50MP rear camera setup with ZEISS optics including a 3x telephoto, ultrawide, and primary sensor.
