Overview
- Vivo unveiled the X Fold6 on Friday, June 26, confirming the device’s specs, opening preorders and setting China sales to begin July 1.
- The phone carries a Zeiss‑tuned 200MP main sensor plus 50MP ultrawide and 50MP 3x telephoto lenses, and it is the first foldable the company says can use attachable teleconverter lenses for much longer native reach.
- Vivo built the X Fold6 around a 7,000mAh silicon‑carbon battery with 80W wired and 40W wireless charging, an 8.02‑inch Samsung M14 foldable AMOLED rated up to 5,000 nits peak brightness, and a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super chip tuned for foldables.
- The company set China pricing from CNY 7,999 for the base model, listed preorder availability and scheduled sales for July 1, and separately introduced the lower‑priced Y6a in China with a 7,200mAh battery.
- Vivo’s move highlights a strategy to use larger batteries, camera accessories and OriginOS 6 Fold multitasking to make foldables more like productivity devices, though real‑world battery life, crease behavior and international availability remain unverified.
