Vivo’s most recent foldable smartphone, the X Fold 5, has once again sparked a stir in the tech industry because to its blend of a fashionable design, powerful performance, and the largest battery ever in a foldable device. Officially launched in China in June 2025, this device delivers a series of major upgrades, making it one of the most impressive foldables on the market. More than just big on battery, the Vivo X Fold 5 introduces a new user experience that blurs the lines between a smartphone and a professional tablet.
Massive 6,000 mAh Battery: A First in Foldables
The standout feature of the Vivo X Fold 5 is its 6,000 mAh battery, currently the largest capacity available in a foldable phone. To ensure efficiency and durability, Vivo integrates 4th-gen silicon-carbon anode battery technology alongside next-gen semi-solid state cells. Supported by 80W wired and 40W wireless fast charging, the phone ensures quick and reliable power replenishment.
This advanced battery technology doesn’t just offer longevity—it also remains stable in extreme temperatures down to -30°C, making it ideal for users constantly on the move or in challenging environments.
Premium Foldable Displays: Sharp, Bright, and Adaptive
The Vivo X Fold 5 has two gorgeous 2K AMOLED screens:
- Main screen: 8.03 inches, LTPO, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 4,500 nits brightness
- Cover screen: 6.53 inches, 120Hz, up to 5,500 nits brightness
Both screens offer high responsiveness, vivid colors, and crisp visuals, perfect for multitasking, streaming, or editing content. The ultra-flat inner display delivers an immersive experience, resembling a tablet when fully opened.
Ultra-Thin Design with Extreme Weather Resistance
Even with its large battery, the X Fold 5 is still thin and light. When folded, it measures only 9.2 mm thick—thinner than many rivals. The device weighs around 217 grams (depending on the variant), thanks in part to the use of lightweight titanium on select models.
Beyond aesthetics, the phone is IP59X+ certified, offering water and dust resistance. It also continues to function in extreme conditions down to -20°C, making it a durable choice for adventurous users or those in unpredictable climates.
Triple 50MP Camera System with ZEISS Optics
In the photography department, the X Fold 5 is equipped with a triple 50MP rear camera setup (wide, ultra-wide, and 3× telephoto), enhanced with ZEISS optics for natural colors and sharp details. The periscope telephoto lens supports 100× digital zoom, with 20× hybrid zoom for versatile long-range shots.
Dual 20MP front cameras (one on each display) are available for high-quality video calls and crystal-clear selfies.
Flagship Performance & Unmatched Apple Integration
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Vivo X Fold 5 comes with up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.1 internal storage. The smartphone, which runs on OriginOS 5 based on Android 15, offers fluid performance for productivity, gaming, and multitasking.
A unique highlight is its ability to seamlessly integrate with Apple devices. Users can connect Apple Watch, AirPods, and even receive iPhone notifications and access iCloud. This rare cross-platform compatibility makes the X Fold 5 ideal for Apple users curious about Android, offering the best of both worlds.
Conclusion: Vivo X Fold 5 Is More Than Just a Foldable
With its massive battery, immersive dual displays, advanced camera system, and rare cross-ecosystem functionality, the Vivo X Fold 5 positions itself as one of the most complete and compelling foldable phones to date. Whether you’re a professional, content creator, or tech enthusiast eager to embrace the future—the X Fold 5 is ready to deliver.
