EDITORIAL: Vivo is aiming for the very best with the X Fold 5. Fold 5 features the biggest battery yet on a foldable and offers excellent brightness on both screens. the back camera performance while good, it is not as good as you'd expect from Vivo.
PROs
excellent build, only 4.3mm thick when open, very good SnapDragon 8 Gen 3 with UFS 4.1 performance, sub-60min 80W wired (40W wireless) fast charging, 2 >1800nits bright LTPO AMOLED screens (the inner one has Dolby Vision too), IP59 protection, Zeiss branded 50MP 23mm OIS main + 50MP 70mm OIS periscope tele + 50MP 15mm ultrawide (all with PDAF) are great on paper but produce only above average images and videos (with limited dynamic range), good (not great) video recording quality, 4 years of OS updates and a fast USB-C 3.2 port with video out
CONs
1 year old processor, the 6000mAh Silicone Carbon battery should deliver better battery endurance, no AF on either 20MP selfie (but you'll use the main camera for selfies), no expandable memory, no desktop replacement software and limited market availability

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging, screen and imaging performance) Google improved the 10 Pro Fold by making it narrower, thinner and almost 20g lighter, upgraded the processor and made screens brighter and their bezels thinner. The imaging is the same but battery lost some 200mAh to fit into a smaller body (Google stonewalls Si-C battery tech). At least wireless Q2 charging boy a body from 15W to 25W.
PROs
excellent build with full water & dust protection, very bright ~2000nits sub-400ppi 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screens (inner one is HDR10+ too), IP68 protection, reliable 48MP 24mm OIS main + okay 10.8MP 112mm OIS telefoto + below -par 10.5MP ultrawide setup, 2 10MP 23mm PDAF selfies, average video recording, 7 years of updates for stabile and feature loaded OS, basic desktop replacement functionality built into Android 17, fast USB-C 3.2 port, Satellite SOS Service
CONs
mediocre Tensor G6 (3nm) with UFS 4.0 performance, barely a day endurance from a 4800mAh lithium battery with 90min slow 30W (25W wireless) charging, no expandable memory, limited market availability
