Vivo is gearing up to officially unveil its next-generation foldable smartphone, the X Fold5, on June 25 in China, with a global launch likely set for July 10.
As excitement builds, the company has intensified its teaser campaign on Weibo, releasing a series of official images and a hands-on video showcasing the upcoming device.
The X Fold5 is already generating buzz for potentially becoming the lightest book-style foldable phone, beating the current record held by its predecessor, the X Fold3.
With a weight of under 219 grams, the new device will closely match the feel of traditional slab-style smartphones while offering the versatility of a foldable.
In terms of design and engineering, the X Fold5 is expected to be thinner than its predecessor, while still packing an impressive 6,000 mAh battery—the largest ever in a foldable device.
The battery features 12% silicon content, making it more efficient, and it’s capable of operating in extremely cold temperatures as low as -30°C. The hinge is also built for durability, tested to function reliably at -20°C.
vivo is also pushing the boundaries of productivity with its new Atomic Workbench, a feature promising a desktop-like multitasking experience. This is aimed at users seeking PC-level functionality in a portable foldable format.
A standout feature of the X Fold5 is its seamless integration with Apple’s ecosystem—a bold move aimed directly at iPhone users.
According to vivo executives, the device can function side-by-side with an iPhone, or even fully replace it, offering iOS users a path to experience foldable innovation without sacrificing their Apple-linked lifestyle.
With cutting-edge hardware, ultra-light design, and cross-ecosystem compatibility, the vivo X Fold5 is shaping up to be one of the most advanced and user-friendly foldables on the market. All eyes are now on June 25 as vivo prepares to officially reveal the device and usher in a new chapter of foldable technology.
