vivo X Fold5 Set for June 25 China Launch with Record-Breaking Design and Apple Ecosystem Integration

vivo is gearing up to officially launch the X Fold5 in China on June 25, with a global debut expected on July 10. As the unveiling draws near, vivo has intensified its teaser campaign on Weibo, showcasing official images and even a hands-on video that’s now circulating widely in China.

Though the video is in Chinese, the design and innovation are unmistakable. One of the key highlights? Weight. vivo boasts that the X Fold5 will break the record held by its predecessor, the X Fold3, for being the lightest book-style foldable ever—weighing under 219g, which places it in the same territory as standard slab smartphones.

It doesn’t stop there. The X Fold5 will also be thinner than before, yet it somehow manages to house the largest battery ever in a foldable phone—a massive 6,000mAh unit. The battery includes 12% silicon content, enabling operation in extreme cold conditions down to -30°C, while its hinge is rated for -20°C durability.

Multitasking is set to reach a new level with vivo’s Atomic Workbench, offering a PC-like desktop experience on the go—an ideal productivity feature for power users.

But perhaps the most surprising and game-changing revelation is that the X Fold5 will be the first Android phone to seamlessly integrate with the Apple ecosystem. Aimed directly at iPhone users interested in foldables, this innovation means users can use the X Fold5 alongside an iPhone or even replace it without sacrificing Apple-like continuity.

With all these features combined, the vivo X Fold5 could become the most compelling foldable phone of 2025—lightweight, powerful, and uniquely ecosystem-flexible.
