The Fanvil X5U has a 3.5-inch main screen and a 2.4-inch DSS screen, 16 SIP lines, built-in Bluetooth 4.2, dual gigabit ports and PoE. It is a good match for executive offices, department heads and anyone using a wireless headset.
====
The Fanvil X5U is aimed at managers and team leads who want a larger screen and built-in Bluetooth on their desk phone. It pairs a 3.5-inch 480×320 color main display with a 2.4-inch DSS screen, and supports 16 SIP lines, two gigabit ports and PoE. Bluetooth 4.2 is built in, so a wireless headset or a mobile phone connects without any extra dongle.
Fanvil X5U at a glance
- 3.5-inch color main screen for calls, phonebook and call history.

- 2,000-entry local phonebook and 2,000-entry XML/LDAP remote phonebook.
- 6-way audio conferencing.
Built-in Bluetooth 4.2
This is the clearest step up from the smaller model in the series. A Bluetooth headset pairs straight to the phone, so you can walk around the office mid-call.
A big screen and keys for a whole team
The 3.5-inch display makes caller names and menus easy to read, and the side screen holds your team members and branch numbers. Each DSS key dials or transfers in one press, and with BLF on the PBX the LED shows who is on a call. Because labels live on a screen, you edit them from the web portal instead of printing new paper strips.
HD audio and call recording
G.722 and Opus codecs, echo cancellation and background noise estimation keep your voice clean in an open-plan office. Calls can be recorded to a USB flash drive or to a server, useful for managers who confirm supplier agreements by phone. Plantronics and Jabra wireless headsets work through an EHS cable.
Who buys the X5U in Saudi Arabia

- Project and contracting offices running lines for more than one company.
- Bank branches and finance firms that rely on wireless headsets.
Compatibility and management
The phone runs SIP 2.0 and registers to standard SIP IP PBXs. Auto provisioning over DHCP Option 66, HTTP/HTTPS or TR-069 speeds up rollouts, and calls are protected with SRTP, TLS and AES, with VLAN support to keep voice separate.
X5U, X4U or X6U?
Against the X4U, the X5U adds a 3.5-inch screen instead of 2.8, 16 SIP lines instead of 12, a fourth line key and built-in Bluetooth instead of the BT20 dongle, in the same body with the same 30 DSS keys. The X6U goes further: 20 SIP lines, a 4.3-inch main screen and a second DSS screen for 60 keys, in a wider 239 mm body versus 214 mm. Pick the X5U when 30 keys cover your team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Fanvil X5U support Bluetooth headsets?
Yes. Bluetooth 4.2 is built in for direct headset pairing, and Plantronics and Jabra wireless headsets also work via EHS cable.
Is a power adapter included with the X5U?
No, the 5V/2A adapter is optional. The phone runs on PoE; the box holds the handset, cord, Ethernet cable and stand.
Can the X5U connect over Wi-Fi?
Not on its own. Wi-Fi needs the WF20 USB dongle; the main connection is the gigabit Ethernet port.
