vivo Malaysia has officially launched the vivo X Fold5, marking the debut of its first foldable smartphone in the Malaysian market. With a combination of flagship performance, premium craftsmanship, and AI-powered productivity, the vivo X Fold5 is designed to set a new standard for foldable devices. It features a lightweight, pocket-friendly design that weighs only 217 grams, making it even lighter than many traditional flagship phones. The aerospace-grade hinge contributes to a slimmer profile and enables smooth, long-lasting folds, while significantly reducing screen creasing. The design is built for resilience, offering triple protection that includes IPX8 and IPX9 water resistance, IP5X dust resistance, and low temperature endurance down to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
At the heart of the device is a bright and immersive display system. The vivo X Fold5 boasts the brightest foldable display ever produced by the brand, with up to 4500 nits local peak brightness on both the 8.03-inch main screen and 6.53-inch cover display. It also features a 2K plus resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10 plus support, and Dolby Vision, ensuring vivid visuals and smooth performance whether you are presenting work, enjoying entertainment, or reviewing content in bright lighting conditions.
Photography on the vivo X Fold5 is elevated through a continued strategic partnership with ZEISS, delivering a co-engineered imaging system that pushes the boundaries of mobile photography. The camera setup includes a 50 MP ZEISS telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and 100x hyperzoom, a 50 MP ultra-sensing VCS bionic main camera with a Sony IMX921 sensor and VCS True Color, and a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 120-degree field of view. Enhanced with AI-powered image refinement, this system provides professional-grade results with excellent color accuracy, reduced flare and ghosting, and impressive detail across a wide range of scenarios.
The vivo X Fold5 is equipped with an equivalent 6000 mAh BlueVolt battery, the largest in any vivo foldable device. Using semi-solid state battery technology, it offers excellent power efficiency and long-term reliability. The device supports 80W dual-cell flash charging and 40W wireless charging, keeping users connected and productive throughout the day with minimal downtime.
Aimed at professionals and content creators, the vivo X Fold5 introduces a comprehensive suite of AI-driven productivity tools. Origin Workbench allows users to run up to five apps simultaneously for smooth multitasking and efficient task management. vivo DocMaster supports smart PDF annotation during meetings and enables one-click saving and sharing, along with seamless format conversions between PDF, Word, and PowerPoint. It also integrates AI tools for real-time content creation within documents. Smart Call Assistant and AI Transcript Assist further enhance work productivity by providing live transcription, summarization, and translation features, ideal for on-the-go communication. Through its collaboration with Google, the vivo X Fold5 also supports Gemini, the personal AI assistant that helps users write emails, plan events, create content, and learn more efficiently.
Under the hood, the vivo X Fold5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform, delivering up to 30 percent better CPU performance, 25 percent improved GPU performance, and 20 percent greater power efficiency compared to its predecessor. Coupled with LPDDR5X ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, the device ensures fast app launches, smooth editing, and lag-free multitasking even under heavy workloads.
