vivo X Fold5 Redefines Premium Foldable Experience

Slimmer, Lighter, Mightier — It’s Not a Sci-Fi Prop

Let’s start with the numbers: 217 grams in the hand and just 4.3mm thin when fully unfolded. That’s roughly the thickness of two stacked coins. Or a well-folded piece of paper in your back pocket. Point being—this thing is light. Surprisingly light. vivo X Fold5 Redefines foldable phones.

vivo has thrown out the old rulebook on foldable bulk. The X Fold5 enters the ring with its 2nd-Gen Armor Architecture and a Carbon Fiber Support Hinge that isn’t just marketing speak—it’s engineering brilliance. The hinge uses aerospace-grade steel and carbon fiber nuts to bump toughness by a whopping 47.3% compared to its predecessor.

What’s even more impressive? That hinge doesn’t just fold. It glides. That rotating sliding structure minimizes pressure on the main display and almost eliminates the dreaded foldable crease. You know, the kind that makes a ₱100,000 phone look like it’s been through 8 semesters of stress.

Certified Tough, Rain or Shine

Durability isn’t just a checkbox on a spec sheet—it’s the difference between panicking in a downpour and snapping a selfie like it’s no big deal. The vivo X Fold5? It’s the first (and currently only) foldable with IPX8, IPX9, and IPX9+ water resistance. Toss in IP5X dust protection and you’ve got a foldable that’s practically apocalypse-ready.

Oh, and vivo didn’t stop there. This device passed a 600,000 fold test. That’s not just marketing fluff—it’s a promise that this foldable isn’t a delicate novelty. Even in temperatures down to -20°C, the phone keeps ticking.

We stress-tested it under harsh air conditioning. (Don’t laugh. Manila offices are basically Arctic zones.) And the battery held up with 20 hours of voice calls, 7 hours and 35 minutes of GPS, and 4+ hours of camera time. Cold conditions, warm results.

BlueVolt Battery Means No More Daily Panic Charging

Let’s talk stamina. The 6000mAh BlueVolt battery doesn’t just sound cool—it actually is cool. It’s backed by fourth-gen silicon anode and second-gen semi-solid battery technologies. Translation? It packs a ton of energy into a sleek profile, without getting hot enough to cook your palm.

From morning Zoom calls to late-night binge sessions, the X Fold5 is designed for people who actually use their phones for more than scrolling. Charging is fast, but what matters more is how infrequently you’ll need it.

No more tethering your foldable to a power bank while you chase deadlines—or chase down the cat for a TikTok moment.

ZEISS Optics That Don’t Flinch at the Fold

Foldables have always had that awkward relationship with camera quality. Not this one.

vivo teamed up with ZEISS to co-engineer the camera system, and the results are a flex. That 50MP Super Telephoto Camera combined with vivo’s image processing software means your photo game goes from “kind of okay” to “wait, you shot that on a phone?”

Details stay crisp. Colors remain vivid. Portraits look cinematic. It’s a creator’s toolkit, packed inside a device you can fold and unfold without triggering existential dread.

From outdoor shoots to café sessions, the camera delivers. It’s not just a great foldable camera. It’s a great camera, period.

 

Foldables Aren’t Futuristic Anymore — They’re Just Smart

With its bold specs and finesse, the vivo X Fold5 isn’t chasing after flagships—it’s leading a new category. Between the portability, power, and undeniable flair, this phone makes a strong case that foldables aren’t prototypes anymore. They’re practical. And if vivo’s launch this August is any indicator, the Philippines is ready to go full fold.

We’ve been watching foldables evolve for years. The X Fold5 doesn’t just mark an improvement—it’s a reset button.

Stay ahead of the curve. Follow vivo Philippines on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X or visit vivoglobal.ph to get the latest updates on the vivo X Fold5’s launch, pricing, and availability.
