Vivo X Fold 5 display details and key details officially revealed

Hindustan Times3 days ago

Vivo is prepared to launch its new foldable mobile phone, the Vivo X Fold 5, soon. The company's product manager, Han Boxiao, recently posted an image on Weibo revealing the device's internal screen. This has provided insight into the display technology it will use. Let's take a look at what the upcoming foldable from Vivo has to offer.
According to the image, the Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to use advanced LTPO 8T panels on both its inner and outer screens. These panels support an adaptive refresh rate that adjusts to the content being displayed, helping to deliver smooth visuals for activities such as scrolling and gaming. The phone is built with a high pixel density and resolution to enhance the display clarity.

One notable upgrade is the display's peak brightness, which reaches 4,500 nits. This level of brightness will improve screen visibility even in bright outdoor conditions. The device also features full-brightness high-frequency PWM dimming as per the shared image. This, combined with TÜV Rheinland's Global Eye Protection 3.0 certification, aims to reduce eye strain during long usage sessions. Vivo has also partnered with Zeiss to tune the colour accuracy on both screens for precise and consistent colour output.

Furthermore, the image shared by Boxiao reveals a design change with the introduction of a new physical button on the left edge of the phone. This button replaces the alert slider found on the previous X Fold 3 models. Vivo has not yet confirmed the button's function, but it might offer programmable shortcuts or quick access to certain features.
Vivo has also confirmed the X Fold 5 will be lighter and thinner than its predecessor. It weighs 209 grams, which is less than the 219 grams of the X Fold 3 and the 236 grams of the X Fold 3 Pro. When unfolded, the phone measures 4.3mm in thickness, and when folded, it is 9.33mm thick. While these dimensions are slightly larger than those of the Oppo Find N5, the device still ranks among the slimmer and lighter foldable phones on the market.

Moreover, Vivo has stated that the X Fold 5 will offer strong durability. It can operate in cold temperatures down to minus 20 degrees Celsius and has IP5X dust resistance and IPX9 water resistance ratings.
Reports suggest that Vivo plans to launch the X Fold 5 in India, potentially on July 10, alongside the Vivo X200 FE. This would mark the first time the standard X Fold model becomes available in the Indian market, as earlier only the premium X Fold 3 Pro was sold there. The launch could expand foldable phone options for Indian consumers.

Empowering young minds: How 4 friends are teaching AI in low-income communities

Pune: "Why are firefighters always men? Why is a black, old, fat woman never the first image when we ask for a person?" These were some of the sharp questions posed by 11- to 14-year-old children learning about artificial intelligence (AI), its reasoning, and its biases. As part of Pune-based THE Labs, a not-for-profit organisation founded by four friends, these children from low-income communities are not just learning how AI works but also how to challenge and reshape its inherent prejudices, how to train it, how to leverage it, and how to evaluate it. Since June 2024, its first cohort of 20 students explored AI through image classification and identification, learning how machines perceive the world. Now, they are gearing up to train large language models, equipping themselves with skills to shape AI's future. A new batch of 63 students has joined. THE Labs is a non-profit after-school programme blending technology, humanities and entrepreneurship. It was founded by tech entrepreneurs Mayura Dolas and Mandar Kulkarni, AI engineer Kedar Marathe, and interdisciplinary artist Ruchita Bhujbal, who saw a gap — engineers lacked exposure to real-world issues, and educators had little understanding of technology. "We first considered building a school, but the impact would have been limited. Besides, there were logistical hurdles," said Dolas, who is also a filmmaker. Kulkarni's acceptance into The Circle's incubation programme two years ago provided 18 months of mentorship and resources to refine their vision. In June 2024, THE Labs launched a pilot at a low-income English-medium school in Khadakwasla, training 20 students from standards VI-VIII (12 girls, 8 boys). With no dedicated space, they conducted 1.5-hour morning sessions at the school. Students first learned about classifier AI — how AI identifies objects — and image generation AI, which creates visuals based on prompts. Through hands-on practice, students discovered how AI's training data impacts accuracy and how biases emerge when datasets lack diversity. They experimented with prompts, analysed AI-generated images, and studied errors. "We asked them to write prompts and replicate an image, and they did it perfectly. That is prompt engineering in action," Dolas said. A key takeaway was AI bias. Students compared outputs from two AI models, identifying gaps — such as the underrepresentation of marginalised identities. "For example, children realised that a black, fat, older woman was rarely generated by AI. They saw firsthand how biases shape digital realities," Dolas added. Parents and students are a happy lot too. Mohan Prasad, a construction worker, said he is not sure what his daughter is learning, but she is excited about AI and often discusses its importance at home. Sarvesh, a standard VIII student, is thrilled that he trained an AI model to identify Hindu deities and noticed biases in AI searches — when prompted with "person", results mostly showed thin white men. "I love AI and want to learn more," he said. His father, Sohan Kolhe, has seen a surge in his son's interest in studies. Anandkumar Raut, who works in the private sector, said his once-shy daughter, a standard VI student, now speaks confidently, does presentations, and is more outspoken since joining the programme.

Despite their rivalry, Steve Jobs defined his bond with Bill Gates using this Beatles lyric, and it might just melt your heart

In the pantheon of modern tech giants, few rivalries have captivated the world like that of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs . As titans of Microsoft and Apple , they reshaped the world—often in fierce competition with one another. But beneath the decades of dueling products and trading barbs lay a deeply human story, punctuated by a moment of raw, heartfelt truth that has resurfaced—and is melting hearts all over again. From Sworn Rivals to Soft-Spoken Admirers In the early days of personal computing , Gates and Jobs were not just competitors—they were at times adversaries in every sense of the word. They accused each other of stealing ideas. They made public digs. Their relationship symbolized the intense battle for tech supremacy in the 1980s and '90s. But everything began to shift in 1997 when Microsoft bailed out the then-struggling Apple with a $150 million investment. That moment laid the groundwork for a subtle transformation in their dynamic—from cold warfare to quiet admiration. A Stage, a Song, and a Sentence That Said It All That transformation reached its most poignant moment on stage at the 2007 AllThingsD conference , where the two visionaries shared space, laughter, and respect. Gates even admitted, 'I'd give a lot to have Steve's taste.' But it was Jobs who delivered the line that no one has been able to forget—a single sentence that redefined their relationship in the eyes of the world.

Taken from the Beatles' song Two of Us —a tune many believe chronicles the evolving bond between Lennon and McCartney—Jobs' quote laid bare a relationship shaped as much by mutual history as by rivalry. It was as if he was saying: even if our paths have been turbulent, they've been shared—and that matters more than what lies ahead.

For many, the line hits harder with hindsight. Unknown to most at the time of the interview, Jobs had recently learned his pancreatic cancer had returned. Only his wife, a few doctors, and a handful of close confidantes reportedly knew. The interview, held in May 2007, came just four years before Jobs passed away at age 56. In retrospect, the quote feels less like nostalgia and more like a quiet farewell. What began as the greatest rivalry in tech ended in something more nuanced: mutual recognition, layered respect, and yes, love—in the complicated, real-world sense. In the end, it wasn't just computers they built. It was history, together. And like the Beatles lyric that captured their bond, theirs was a story 'longer than the road that stretches out ahead.'

Despite their rivalry, Steve Jobs defined his bond with Bill Gates using this Beatles lyric, and it might just melt your heart

ET Online In a 2007 interview, Steve Jobs described his relationship with longtime rival Bill Gates using a touching Beatles lyric. In the pantheon of modern tech giants, few rivalries have captivated the world like that of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
