VIVO is set to launch its first foldable smartphone in Southeast Asia this August, with the arrival of the vivo X Fold5 in the Philippines.
The X Fold5 is vivo’s slimmest and lightest foldable yet, weighing just 217 grams and measuring 4.3 millimeters when unfolded. It features a second-generation Armor Architecture hinge with carbon fiber components, designed to reduce screen stress and minimize visible creases. The company claims the new hinge is 47.3 percent tougher than its predecessor.

Durability is a key highlight, as the phone comes with triple protection water resistance ratings — IPX8, IPX9, and IPX9+ — along with IP5X dust resistance. It has also passed a 600,000-fold test and can operate in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius.
Powering the device is a 6000mAh BlueVolt battery supported by silicon anode and semi-solid battery technologies, aimed at providing all-day usage without compromising its slim profile.
On the camera front, the X Fold5 is co-engineered with ZEISS optics, featuring a 50-megapixel super telephoto lens and vivo’s image processing tech for professional-grade photography.
With the X Fold5, vivo aims to push foldable phones into the mainstream market, combining premium design with flagship performance.
More details, including pricing and availability, are expected to be announced closer to the official launch.
