When it comes to the hottest trends in the smartphone industry, foldable screens are definitely at the forefront.
Manufacturers are fiercely competing in this space, and vivo is one of the active explorers.
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about the vivo X Fold5, especially regarding its second-generation semi-solid battery and its three-proof foldable screen, which are truly impressive!
The vivo X Fold5 seems determined to go hardcore, debuting the second-generation semi-solid battery technology.
This is based on the previous generation of blue ocean semi-solid batteries, expanding the solid electrolyte from the positive electrode to the negative electrode.
This modification allows the X Fold5’s battery to operate normally even in extreme cold environments of -30°C.
As someone who once had their phone freeze and shut down during a business trip in Northeast China, almost missing an important event, I wholeheartedly support this technology.
Just think about it, in the future, when taking photos or navigating outdoors in winter, you won’t have to worry about your phone suddenly failing; that sense of security is unbeatable!
For those who enjoy outdoor adventures or work in cold regions, this is a must-have feature.
Additionally, its three-proof capabilities are astonishing.
The vivo X Fold5 claims to be the world’s first three-proof foldable screen, with significant efforts made in dustproof, waterproof, and freeze-proof aspects.
The dustproof rating reaches IP5X, meaning that even a small amount of dust won’t affect its use, which is great for someone like me who often carries their phone in their pocket filled with various items.
The waterproofing is also impressive, with not only an IPX8 rating, allowing it to stay underwater at 3 meters, but also an IPX9 rating, which can withstand high-temperature hot water and high-pressure water jets.
Most remarkably, the official claim states that this phone can be folded and unfolded 1000 times underwater at a depth of 1 meter!
It seems that everyday accidents like splashes, rain, or even accidentally dropping it in water can be easily handled; this is definitely a protective champion among foldable screens.
Of course, as a foldable phone, it needs to be tough, but it also has to be lightweight and perform well.
According to some leaked videos, the vivo X Fold5 is significantly lighter than its predecessor, with some tests suggesting it can be blown away by a fan, indicating that its weight might be around 200 grams, making it quite lightweight.
In terms of performance, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 platform seems to be standard, handling daily use and gaming without issues.
Additionally, with 90W wired fast charging and a Zeiss triple camera setup (main, ultra-wide, and periscope telephoto), the configuration is flagship level, easily meeting daily and professional photography needs.
Regarding thickness, it is said to be similar to the iPhone 16 Pro Max when folded, which is about 8.25 mm, so the X Fold5’s thickness is estimated to be under 9 mm, providing a comfortable grip.
The vivo X Fold5 indeed addresses several core pain points in foldable screens with its solutions.
A battery that works at -30°C, combined with robust three-proof capabilities, along with a lightweight design and flagship performance, sounds quite appealing.
Whether it can challenge Huawei’s dominance in the foldable market and become a dark horse remains to be seen.
