vivo X Fold 5

Foldables usually mean compromises on battery or thickness, but the X Fold 5 pushes back on both. It packs a 6000mAh Si/C Li-Ion cell into a body that folds down to 9.2mm, and still finds room for 80W wired charging plus 40W wireless. The 8.03-inch LTPO AMOLED panel runs at 120Hz with a 4500 nits peak, and supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, so the unfolded screen is genuinely usable outdoors, not just a novelty.

Inside, it's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, enough headroom for multitasking across that big display. The camera setup leans on Zeiss optics across all three 50MP rear lenses, including a periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS, which is rare to see on a folding phone. vivo X Fold 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM6999.

It's also IP58/IP59+ rated, meaning it can handle water jets and brief submersion, something many foldables still skip. At 217g or 226g depending on configuration, it's not light, but that's the tradeoff for the hardware packed inside.
