After Samsung’s fanfare-packed Galaxy Unpacked event (apologies for the pun), Vivo is now ready to announce its latest premium offerings in India – one of them being a foldable flagship, whereas the other one is a premium compact phone taking on the Apple iPhone 16 and the Samsung Galaxy S25.

So far, the teasers have revealed that these phones will be largely a refreshed version of their Chinese counterparts. The Vivo X Fold 5 will be based on the dated Snapdragon 8 Gen chipset but will be as slim as the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Vivo X200 FE will be a renamed version of the Vivo S30 Pro Mini.
