The Vivo X Fold 5 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 are competing in the foldable phone market. This comparison examines their displays, processors, cameras, battery life, charging speeds, and prices to help consumers make an informed decision.
This week, the Vivo X Fold 5 made its debut in the Indian market, competing with the recently released Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 model. Since OnePlus has decided not to release the Open 2 model in 2025 at all, both of these companies are bringing their most recent foldables to the area. Last year, Vivo demonstrated its capabilities with the X Fold 3 Pro model, giving us more evidence that a fold doesn't need to sacrifice functionality to be a full device.
