vivo Malaysia today announced the launch of its vivo X Fold5, now available in Malaysia. This innovative foldable smartphone combines flagship performance, premium craftsmanship, and advanced features, setting a new standard in the foldable market.
Design and Durability
The vivo X Fold5 boasts an ultra-light, pocket-friendly design, weighing just 217g, making it lighter than many traditional flagship smartphones. It features an aerospace-grade kinematic hinge, engineered for smooth, lasting folds and significantly reduced screen creasing, with a tested durability of 600,000 folds.
For enhanced resilience, the device offers triple protection, including IPX8 & IPX9 Water Resistance, IP5X Dust Resistance, and low-temperature resistance down to -20°C. Its ultra-slim folded profile is just 0.92 cm.

Both the expansive 8.03-inch main display and the 6.53-inch cover display are vivo’s brightest foldable panels, delivering an astonishing local peak brightness of up to 4500 nits. This ensures exceptional clarity and vibrant visuals even under direct sunlight. Both displays feature 2K+ resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision for an ultra-smooth, high-contrast visual experience.
