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
Xiaomi Mix Fold 4
73.1mm (2.88in) · Jul 19, 2024 · FOLD · Rank #102
9+11+13+12+12+5+3+0+3+0 = 68
FOLD* TOP Battery Endurance
EDITORIAL: Perfecting on the Mix Fold 3, Xiaomi added the fastest SD chip, bigger battery, brighter and sharper screens (now they are both LTPO) and water immersion with IPX8. Excellent Leica tuned back cameras are better (the telephoto went up to 50MP) and the phone is now sub-10mm thin bringing a fold phone into a similar size to a regular (non-folding) one. Contrary to common sense, Xiaomi is keeping this phone China-only risking poor sales and this great phone's future.
PROs

CONs
