Vivo X Fold 5 Design Teased; Confirmed to Feature 8T LTPO Panels, Meet IP5X and IPX9+ Certifications

Vivo X Fold 5 will be announced soon. While the official launch date of the phone is still under wraps, a company executive has posted a new teaser on Weibo, revealing the design and a few specifications of the upcoming foldable. The Vivo X Fold 5 is confirmed to use LTPO 8T panels on both outer and inner displays. The panels are said to reach 4,500 nits peak brightness. The foldable is also claimed to meet IP5X and IPX9+ resistance against dust and water ingress.

Han Boxiao, Vivo’s Product Manager, posted a teaser on Weibo showcasing the inner display of Vivo X Fold 5. It will use an 8T LTPO panel on both the inside and outer displays. The screens are touted to deliver adaptive refresh rate, ultra-high resolution, and high pixel density. Both panels are confirmed to offer 4,500 nits local peak brightness and high-frequency PWM dimming. The displays of the foldable are claimed to have TÜV Rheinland global eye protection 3.0 certification and Zeiss Master colour certification.

Further, the executive confirmed that the Vivo X Fold 5 offers extreme cold resistance. All functions of the phone are said to operate normally even after being kept at -20°C for a long time.

Vivo X Fold 5 is claimed to meet an IP5X-rated build for dust resistance and an IPX9+ rating for water resistance. Vivo says the foldable can withstand being opened and closed 1,000 times, even at a depth of 1 meter underwater.

Vivo kicked off the teaser campaign for the X Fold 5 last week in China. It is confirmed to come with a thin and lightweight build that will be considerably lighter than last year’s Vivo X Fold 3, which weighs 219g.
