vivo X Fold5: A Lighter Foldable Powerhouse with Pro-Grade Camera and AI Productivity Tools

vivo has officially unveiled its most advanced foldable smartphone to date — the vivo X Fold5 — making its international debut in Singapore on 8 August 2025. Blending sleek design, flagship performance, and AI-driven productivity, the X Fold5 is poised to redefine what a foldable smartphone can do.

Ultra-Light. Ultra-Strong. Ultra-Versatile.

Tipping the scales at just 217g, the vivo X Fold5 is lighter than many traditional flagship phones, yet it doesn’t compromise on durability. Built around an ultra-slim 0.92cm folded profile, it features a next-gen kinematic hinge tested to withstand 600,000 folds, plus robust protection with IPX8/IPX9 water resistance, IP5X dust resistance, and second-gen Armor Glass. It’s even designed to operate in temperatures as low as -20°C.

Brilliance in Every Fold

Equipped with vivo’s brightest foldable displays yet, the X Fold5 boasts up to 4500 nits local peak brightness on both its 8.03-inch main and 6.53-inch cover displays. Both panels deliver 2K+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, ensuring crisp visuals and vibrant color even under harsh lighting — perfect for everything from Netflix binges to business presentations.

ZEISS Camera Tech in a Foldable Form

Continuing vivo’s strategic partnership with ZEISS, the X Fold5 integrates a co-engineered imaging system that transforms mobile photography:

• 50MP ZEISS Telephoto Camera with 3x optical zoom and 100x HyperZoom
• 50MP Ultra-Sensing Main Camera with Sony IMX921 sensor and VCS True Color
• 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera with a 120° field of view
• ZEISS T coating* for clarity, reduced flare, and signature ZEISS color rendering

Add in AI-powered imaging enhancements, and the X Fold5 captures every shot with professional precision.

Built for the Power User

Under the hood, the X Fold5 is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, offering a 30% CPU boost, 25% GPU improvement, and 20% better power efficiency. Combined with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, users can expect smooth multitasking and lightning-fast performance.

It also packs a massive 6000mAh BlueVolt battery, the largest in any vivo foldable, supporting 80W Dual-Cell FlashCharge and Wireless FlashCharge — keeping pace with your workday or weekend.
