Vivo’s product manager has started releasing real images of the new foldable device Vivo X Fold 5. The device is said to be lighter than the X Fold 3 which weighs 219g. In addition, it is believed to set a new record in terms of thickness and weight making it one of the thinnest foldable phones on the market so far.
The shared image shows the X Fold 5 in a folded state with a thickness of just over 16mm, just over the iPhone 8.25 Pro Max. The latest report claims that the thickness of this device when folded is 9.33mm while when opened it may be only 4.3mm. In addition, its weight is estimated to be around 209g which makes it the lightest full-size foldable device to date.
Vivo also claims that the X Fold 5 will be the first device in its class with a triple-layer protection rating that may include waterproof, dustproof and drop resistance. There is no further information about this device including its official launch date.
