Bright and Smooth Display In Vivo X Fold 5
One of the highlights of the Vivo X Fold 5 is its dual LTPO 8T AMOLED displays. Both the outer and inner screens are built using this premium tech, which allows for a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. That means smooth visuals whether you’re gaming, browsing, or watching videos.
Here are the key display highlights:
- Local peak brightness: 4500 nits – great visibility in sunlight
- Eye safety: Features high-frequency PWM dimming
- Certification: TÜV Rheinland Global Eye Protection 3.0
- Color calibration: Zeiss Master Color for rich and accurate tones

These features ensure the display not only looks good but is also comfortable on the eyes during long use.
New Side Button Of Vivo X Fold 5 Replaces Alert Slider
While looking closely at the newly shared image, fans noticed a new button placed on the left side of the phone. This design change is important as it replaces the alert slider that was present in the earlier X Fold 3 series.
Although Vivo hasn’t confirmed its function yet, it could be a programmable button, possibly used for launching apps, taking screenshots, or toggling silent mode quickly.
Vivo X Fold 5 Build Quality and Durability
The Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to be highly durable, much lighter, and extremely thinner foldable. In previously shared video by Vivo has shown the weight test of X Fold 5 and X Fold 3, in which the X Fold 5 weighs less than its predecessor.

This foldable is also going to be survived even in extreme weather conditions. According to Vivo, the phone will:
- Work well in temperatures as low as -20°C
- Be protected against dust (IP5X) and high-pressure water (IPX9)
Vivo X Fold 5 Launch Timeline
The foldable is likely to be launched in China around July 2025, although there are chances it may arrive a bit earlier in June, depending on Vivo’s schedule.
There is no word yet on whether the Vivo X Fold 5 will make it to India. The standard X Fold 3 was not launched in the country, although the X Fold 3 Pro was. So, there’s a possibility Vivo may follow the same path and bring only the Pro version of the X Fold 5 to the Indian market.
