Vivo X Fold 5 launching on June 25: Everything to know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 rival
It's going to be an intense foldable rivalry in the month of July. Not only is the Vivo X Fold 5, the successor to the X Fold 3 from last year, rumoured to release on July 10, but the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also tipped to launch on the same date. We've already done a bunch of stories around the Galaxy Z Fold 7, so we won't delve into that here. Instead, let's turn our focus to the Vivo X Fold 5. As of now, the phone is expected to launch in India sometime in July, while the official China launch has been confirmed for June 25 at 7 PM local time. Here's everything you need to Vivo hasn't dropped any official teaser for India, the phone has already taken the internet by storm in China. Its product page is live on Vivo's official Chinese website, and pre-orders have begun. Interestingly, last year's X Fold 3 series had two models — standard and Pro — but only the X Fold 3 Pro came to India. This year, it seems like Vivo is starting with just one model — the standard X Fold 5. That said, we'll have to wait for June 25 to see if a Pro variant also makes an coming to what the device offers — a lot of the key details have already been shared by Vivo's product manager, Han Boxiao, on Weibo. He has confirmed that the phone will use 8T LTPO panels on both the inner and outer screens, offering a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and up to 4,500 nits peak brightness. Both displays are also expected to support TV Rheinland's global eye protection and Zeiss Master colour certification. Vivo claims this will deliver better clarity, comfort, and colour accuracy in all lighting conditions, compared to its The Vivo X Fold 5 also meets IP5X dust protection and an IPX9+ water resistance rating. It can reportedly be folded and unfolded 1,000 times even under a depth of 1m of water, and can keep working at temperatures as low as - key highlight is its weight and thickness. The X Fold 5 is said to be significantly slimmer and lighter than the previous model, weighing around 209g and measuring just 4.3mm when the specs front, the Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The camera setup is likely to include a 50-megapixel triple rear camera system, though finer details are still under wraps. The battery could be around 6,000mAh with support for 90W fast charging and 30W wireless charging — again, solid numbers for a the most surprising detail so far is that the Vivo X Fold 5 may offer support for Apple's ecosystem. According to the teasers shared on Weibo, the phone might be able to connect with the Apple Watch, access iCloud files directly, and even work with MacBooks and AirPods. If this turns out to be true, it would mark a rare moment of cross-platform compatibility — something no other Android brand has really said, the focus now remains on Vivo and how it positions the phone in terms of pricing in India. As mentioned above, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to launch around the same time, and also, it's highly unlikely that both phones will end up launching on the same date, considering these are two biggies from the smartphone industry we are talking about. However, if by even 1 per cent chance it does happen, if both the X Fold 5 and Z Fold 7 do launch on the same day, it's going to be an interesting day in smartphone history. July seems to be tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on the upcoming foldable phones in July.

OnePlus Nord 5 tipped to launch soon: Specs, features and expected India price
When can we expect the next-generation OnePlus Nord? If rumours are to be believed, OnePlus is gearing to launch the OnePlus Nord 5, successor to the OnePlus Nord 4, in India soon. The Nord 4 was launched in April 2024, so we can expect the fifth-generation Nord to arrive within the next couple of months. Right now, OnePlus is preparing to introduce the OnePlus 13s in India which is likely to arrive sometime in mid-May or early June. The Nord 5 could be its next phone in the country. The purported OnePlus Nord 5 has been spotted on the TV Rheinland website seemingly confirming its imminent launch. The listing reveals several key details of the upcoming device, including its battery size and charging speed. The alleged OnePlus phone with model number CPH2079 (via 91Mobiles), which is believed to be the Nord 5, will reportedly feature a 6,650mAh battery per the listing. If true, this would be a significant boost over the 5,500mAh unit found in the Nord 4. The listing also confirms support for 80W fast charging, similar to the Nord 4. However, this contradicts earlier reports that suggested the phone would have faster 100W charging. As for the other expected specifications, the OnePlus Nord 5 is rumoured to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition, which is expected to launch in China later this month. Based on everything we can find from the internet, the phone is likely to have a 6.77-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and an optical in-display fingerprint sensor for biometrics. Performance-wise, the Nord 5 may be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset, a slightly modified version of the upcoming flagship Dimensity 9400 SoC. If true, this would mark a shift from the Snapdragon-based Nord 4 and offer improved AI and gaming capabilities. The phone could launch with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage, depending on the region. On the camera front, the OnePlus Nord 5 is expected to include a dual rear setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor (with Optical Image Stabilisation) and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. On the front, the device may offer a 16-megapixel selfie shooter. Other expected features include dual stereo speakers, an IR blaster, and Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 out of the box. In terms of pricing, the OnePlus Nord 5 is expected to launch in India at around Rs 30,000, maintaining its mid-range positioning, similar to the starting price of the Nord 4. However, it should be noted that the specifications are rumoured and nothing is officially confirmed by OnePlus yet. Exact configurations and pricing details will become clearer closer to the official announcement.
