Vivo X Fold5 was unveiled in China, sharing a lot in common with last year's Vivo X Fold3 Pro. For this model year, the device offers improved design and it gets slimmer both when folded and unfolded. The overall weight is also reduced, while the protection has been improved with the second generation of Armor Glass for the external display. The design improvement is rooted in the improved hinge which is made of a FS55 ultra-high-strength steel and carbon fiber materials. It is as light as 14.24 g and as narrow as 16.6 mm, and provides super-strong support for the entire device. The model is IP59 rated for being resistant to dust and water.

It sports an E7 OLED display with a peak local brightness of 4500 nits. The LTPO 8T backplane enables an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. The same refresh rate and backplane are provided on the cover display. The latter has a 6.53-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 1172 x 2748 px and a local peak brightness of 4500 nits. Both screens are Dolby Vision and HDR10+ certified. The Vivo X Fold5 packs a dual-cell 6000 mAh battery supporting 80W dual-cell fast charging and 40W wireless fast charging.
