Vivo is preparing for a major launch event on July 14, where the company is expected to unveil two new smartphones: the Vivo X Fold 5, its latest foldable device, and the Vivo X200 FE, a performance-centric mid-range offering. The announcement comes amid growing competition in the foldable and affordable flagship segments.

X Fold 5: Vivo’s Most Powerful Foldable Yet

The Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to feature a 2K AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate on both the inner and outer screens. A Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, combined with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, positions it as a true premium foldable rival to the Galaxy Z Fold series.

Design-wise, leaks point to a lighter build and improved hinge durability, making it more pocket-friendly than its predecessor. It may sport a quad rear-camera setup, co-engineered with Zeiss, with a primary 50MP sensor, ultra-wide lens, periscope zoom, and portrait shooter.

X200 FE: Flagship Experience at a Mid-Range Price

Targeted at the affordable flagship segment, the Vivo X200 FE is likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 or Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, with a focus on balanced performance and efficiency. It could feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a triple rear camera setup headlined by a 64MP sensor.

Vivo is expected to offer fast charging up to 80W, 5G connectivity, and premium design materials to attract younger and performance-focused users.

Expected Pricing and Availability

• Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to be priced around ₹1,45,000 to ₹1,55,000, targeting premium buyers who want cutting-edge foldable tech.

• Vivo X200 FE may retail between ₹38,000 to ₹42,000, placing it in direct competition with the OnePlus Nord 4, iQOO Neo 9 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy A-series.

Both devices are expected to go on pre-order immediately after launch, with availability starting later in July 2025.

Vivo’s Strategy: Innovation Meets Market Demand

Vivo continues to innovate across price segments. With the X Fold 5, the brand hopes to further solidify its place in the growing foldable market. Meanwhile, the X200 FE is designed to appeal to budget-conscious users seeking flagship-like performance. This dual launch strategy reflects Vivo’s intent to cater to a broad demographic.
