Boxiao says the Vivo X Fold 5 refutes this stereotype: despite being even thinner and lighter than the previous generation – only about 4.x mm when unfolded – the device has managed to incorporate an improved periscope telephoto lens that even surpasses that of the X Fold 3 Pro.
The Vivo X Fold 5 is the first of its kind in the market to feature an improved periscope telephoto lens that even surpasses that of the X Fold 3 Pro.

To prove his point, Bosiao posted three examples of photos taken with different zoom levels (including 1x and 20x). The photos show great detail, allowing you to see distant mountain peaks. The smartphone also supports macro photography with a telephoto lens, allowing you to capture small objects like spider webs with amazing clarity.
He also stated that the X Fold 5 offers a level of shooting comparable to major flagships, and in some cases even surpasses the “Pro”-versions of other brands. So, users of foldable devices no longer have to compromise on camera selection.
While official specs of the camera have yet to be revealed, recent leaks point to the following configuration:
- Main camera: 50MP Sony IMX921 with optical stabilization (OIS)
- Ultra Wide-angle camera: 50MP with autofocus
- Periscope telephoto lens camera: 50MP Sony IMX882 with 3x optical zoom and OIS
- Front camera (external screen): 32MP
- Front camera (internal): probably also 32 megapixels
Vivo X Fold 5 promises to be the new benchmark for cameras in foldable smartphones, offering flagship quality shooting without sacrificing design.
