If you’ve been holding out for a new Android flagship or a premium foldable this year, Vivo just gave you a reason to sit tight.
According to the latest leaks, the much-anticipated Vivo X200 FE and Vivo X Fold5 are launching in India as early as July 10, 2025.
Leaked by trusted tipsters and verified via certification listings, the information points to a strategic move by Vivo to compete with Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the soon-to-launch OnePlus 13s, both covered recently.
So, what can we expect from these upcoming Vivo powerhouses?
Vivo X200 FE and X Fold5 Launch Date: When Are They Coming?
According to popular X user Sanju Choudhary and reports sourced from Gizmochina, Vivo is preparing both the X Fold5 and X200 FE for a July 10, 2025 launch window in India.
Multiple certification sites, including the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and Bluetooth SIG, have listed both models, suggesting India availability shortly after the China reveal.
Expected India Launch Date: July 15–25, 2025
Pre-orders Likely: Within 24–48 hours after launch event (rumored)
Availability: Amazon India, Flipkart, Vivo e-store, and offline retailers (rumored)
Vivo X200 FE: Features, Specs & First Impressions
The FE series fan edition from Vivo has always focused on performance without inflating the price. The X200 FE aims to deliver flagship-level performance under ₹50,000 (expected), rivaling mid-premium devices like the Pixel 8a and OnePlus Nord 4.
Key Features at a Glance (Rumored):
- Display: 6.31″ AMOLED, 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ (confirmed via tipster Digital Chat Station)
- RAM/Storage: Up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM / 256GB UFS 4.0
- Cameras:
- 50MP Sony IMX sensor (primary)
- 12MP ultra-wide
- 8MP telephoto
- 50MP Sony IMX sensor (primary)
- Battery: 5000mAh with 80W wired fast charging
- Software: Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15
What’s particularly exciting is the rumored AI-enhanced image processing, similar to what we saw in Samsung’s latest ISOCELL integration.
Vivo’s camera game could give the iPhone 17 Air which reportedly had a surprising bend test recently, some serious competition in the sub-premium bracket.
Vivo X Fold5: A Foldable With a Purpose
The Vivo X Fold5 isn’t just an update. It’s a serious refinement. Leaked images suggest a slimmer hinge, improved cover display usability, and, most notably, better thermals for sustained performance.
Tipsters claim the phone will feature a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for foldables. That makes it the most powerful foldable yet.
Expected Specs (Rumored):
- Main Display: 8.03″ 2K LTPO AMOLED, 120Hz
- Cover Display: 6.53″ AMOLED, HDR10+
- Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (custom tuned for thermals)
- Camera Setup:
- 50MP GN3 main sensor
- 48MP ultra-wide
- 64MP periscope lens (3x optical zoom)
- Battery: 4800mAh with 66W wired / 50W wireless
- Build: Aerospace-grade aluminum, IPX8 rating
Tipster noted on X: “The X Fold5 might just be the first foldable to outlast a Galaxy Fold in thermal performance and hinge durability.”
The cover screen usability is expected to improve thanks to a better aspect ratio, a concern users had with earlier models.
Camera Tech: Vivo’s AI Push Continues
Both the X200 FE and Fold5 are expected to carry ZEISS-branded lenses, continuing Vivo’s collaboration for image clarity and precision.
AI-powered enhancements include:
- Real-time scene recognition
- Light-bending Night Mode 3.0
- Portrait blur optimization using eye-tracking
Expect big things in mobile photography, especially for low-light and dynamic range, areas where the OnePlus 13s might lag, as we discussed in this detailed breakdown.
Expected Pricing in India (Expected)
Vivo X200 FE:
- Base variant (8/128GB): ₹39,999 (expected)
- Top variant (12/256GB): ₹44,999
Vivo X Fold5:
- Base variant (12/256GB): ₹1,39,999
- Top variant (16/512GB): ₹1,54,999
While these aren’t official prices, some say on X report that Vivo wants to undercut Samsung in the foldable space, especially as Z Fold 7 pricing is expected to cross ₹1.6 lakh.
Should You Wait to Buy?
If you’re planning to upgrade soon, the X Fold5 and X200 FE offer excellent reasons to wait, especially if:
- You want next-gen camera capabilities
- You’re curious about AI photography and smarter thermal performance
- You’re eyeing a foldable but weren’t happy with past Samsung designs

What’s Next?
Vivo is likely to tease these launches with a dedicated microsite or campaign by late June. If history repeats itself, we may see pre-order bonuses like TWS earbuds, bundled screen protection, and up to ₹5,000 cashback on select credit cards.
Also, Vivo might showcase a special edition version of the X Fold5, possibly in collaboration with ZEISS or a fashion brand, as seen in their earlier Pro+ lines.
Final Thoughts
Vivo is clearly stepping up. The X200 FE is positioned to take on affordable flagships like the Pixel 8a, while the X Fold5 brings real innovation to foldables in 2025, thinner, smarter, faster.
With India being one of the fastest-growing premium smartphone markets, July could be a major launch month that shapes the rest of the year for Android enthusiasts.
What are your thoughts? Planning to buy one of these? Or waiting for something else like the iPhone 17 Air.
