The Vivo X Fold5, officially launched last week, is already turning heads with its camera prowess. Early photo samples leaked by industry insiders reveal significant improvements in both daylight and low-light performance, thanks to its overhauled primary and periscope telephoto lenses—a bold move in the competitive foldable market.
Camera Upgrades: The Heart of the Buzz
Vivo’s latest foldable flagship packs a 50MP primary sensor with a wider f/1.7 aperture, allowing 35% more light capture than its predecessor. But the real showstopper is the new 64MP periscope telephoto lens, offering 5x optical zoom and 100x hybrid zoom. Early test shots showcase razor-sharp details even at maximum zoom, with minimal noise in nighttime scenes—a feat previously seen only in premium slab-style phones.

Photography enthusiasts praised the samples for their natural color science and dynamic range. "The shadows retain detail without artificial HDR harshness," noted @CameraLeaks on Weibo. The upgraded ZEISS co-engineering also brings smoother bokeh and enhanced portrait mode, challenging rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6.
Beyond the Lens: Record-Breaking Hardware
As exclusively reported by GSMGotech, the X Fold5 debuted as the world’s thinnest foldable (9.8mm when folded) and features a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. Its carbon fiber hinge reduces weight by 15%, while the 8.03-inch LTPO AMOLED display supports 120Hz refresh rates—ideal for editing photos on the go.
Market Impact and Availability
Industry analysts predict the device could "dominate the premium foldable segment" in Asia and Europe, especially after early benchmarks revealed 20% faster image processing than its predecessor. With preorders live globally, the X Fold5 starts at $1,599.
