The Vivo X Fold5 is set to launch soon, but leaks have already started giving us a closer look. A user named Shido Tatsuhiko on X (formerly Twitter) recently shared hands-on images of the phone in green colour and there’s something pretty surprising. It seems the phone is actually thinner than its USB-C port when unfolded. Here’s what we know.

Sharing the hands-on images, X user Shido writes, “super lightweight and powerful, note that the USB-C port is thicker than the unfolded device, which required an interesting solution for its incorporation. In the OPPO Find N5, this also happened, but in the vivo X Fold 5, it is noticeable that the thickness is less, and therefore the port is more prominent.” (Translated from Spanish via Grok)
Alongside this post, multiple early unboxing videos have also popped up online, revealing more details about the upcoming foldable. You can check out some of the recent unboxing videos below.
The Vivo X Fold5 is shaping up to be one of the slimmest foldables ever made at just 4.3mm thick when unfolded and 9.33mm when folded. That’s even thinner than the Oppo Find N5, which folds down to 8.9mm.
For comparison, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 is rumoured to measure 4.54mm when unfolded.
But the USB-C port on the X Fold5 sticks out noticeably, which could raise a few questions about durability or the overall design.
Despite being super slim, Vivo hasn’t cut corners on battery. The X Fold5 packs a massive 6,000mAh battery, which is the biggest ever in a foldable phone. The battery supports 90W wired and 30W wireless charging. It’s also lighter than its predecessor at 209g (down from 219g), and even lighter than the Oppo Find N5, which weighs 229g.
Inside, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip with 16GB RAM, as seen in Geekbench listings for model number V2436A. That’s a step behind Oppo’s foldable, which uses the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite, offering about 20% better single-core and 16% better multi-core performance.
Vivo has also teased a new multitasking feature called “Atomic Workbench,” which looks a lot like Apple’s Stage Manager. It’s designed to help users make better use of the foldable’s large screen, an 8.03-inch 2K+ AMOLED inner display and a 6.53-inch LTPO cover screen.
The phone is expected to launch in China on June 25 with a possible global release on July 10.
