Vivo is preparing to unveil its next-generation foldable phone, the Vivo X Fold 5, on June 25 in China. According to Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao, the upcoming device will introduce significant upgrades in multitasking and battery innovation. The key highlight is the new ‘Atomic Workbench’ feature, enabling five applications to run simultaneously on the large foldable screen.
Vivo X Fold 5 takes multitasking to the next level
With the ‘Atomic Workbench’, the Vivo X Fold 5 users will be able to take video calls, check PPT slides, monitor stock trends, and run professional tools—all while continuing gameplay, without interruptions. The interface supports real-time interaction across five app windows, making it highly suited for work and play.
Like recent Vivo phones in China, the X Fold 5 will run on OriginOS 5-based Android 15. Additional software-related features include support for Apple Watch and iCloud sync, cross-ecosystem message and call functionality, and PC remote access with Mac file connectivity.
Vivo X Fold 5 packs ultra-thin 6,000mAh battery
The Vivo X Fold 5 packs a massive 6,000mAh battery—the largest ever in a foldable phone—while still being lighter and slimmer than its predecessor. According to Boxiao, the thickness of the battery is less than a Chinese one-yuan coin. He claimed that this was made possible by introducing a fourth-generation silicon negative electrode battery with 12 percent silicon content, about 2.5 times higher than the previous generation. The result is a 13 percent increase in energy density.
Vivo also integrates second-generation semi-solid-state battery technology, which improves electrolyte distribution and ensures stable power output even at extreme temperatures down to -30°C. Notably, the battery is thinner than a Chinese one-yuan coin, showcasing remarkable engineering. Despite the capacity increase, the Fold 5 supports fast 90W wired and 30W wireless charging, offering both longevity and convenience without compromising portability.
Folded, it measures just 9.33mm thick and weighs under 219 grams. When unfolded, it’s only 4.3mm thick. The device is also IPX8, IPX9, and IPX9+ rated for water resistance, and supports IP5X dust resistance—allowing underwater folding up to 1 metre.
Reports have revealed that the Vivo X Fold 5 features a 6.53-inch LTPO outer display and an 8.03-inch 2K+ AMOLED folding display, both with 120Hz refresh rates. Under the hood, it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. For photography, the phone has a Zeiss-branded triple camera setup including a 50-megapixel IMX921 main sensor, 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel IMX882 telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. While it is expected to launch globally in July, it is set to launch on June 25 in China.
