Vivo is rumored to unveil its latest foldable smartphone, the X Fold6, within the next two months-possibly as soon as June if it follows its usual release schedule. The device is expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset and feature a 200MP main camera, marking significant upgrades from its predecessor.
Vivo X Fold6 specifications and display details
According to insider reports from Digital Chat Station, the Vivo X Fold6 will feature an 8.02-inch inner display with a 2K resolution, alongside a 6.51-inch external screen. These display sizes and resolutions are very similar to those on the Vivo X Fold5.
Camera upgrades on the Vivo X Fold6
The biggest upgrades reportedly focus on the camera system. The X Fold6 is said to include:
- 200MP main sensor
- 50MP periscope telephoto lens
- 50MP ultra-wide shooter
- Two 20MP front cameras, one on each display, for selfies
Battery, durability, and additional features
Other expected features include a sizable 7,000mAh battery with wireless charging support. The device is also rumored to have full water resistance, enhancing durability for everyday use.
Vivo’s shift to MediaTek in flagship foldables
Vivo’s move to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset marks a notable shift from Qualcomm processors traditionally dominant in flagship foldables. This change could offer advantages in power efficiency or cost-effectiveness. However, whether the Dimensity 9500 can match the performance of Snapdragon chips in a premium foldable device remains to be seen.
The inclusion of a 200MP sensor puts the X Fold6 in direct competition with devices like Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra, which popularized ultra-high-resolution mobile photography. As foldable smartphones seek mainstream adoption, improvements in camera technology and battery life are likely to play a critical role in buyer decisions.
There is no official confirmation from Vivo yet, so all specifications should be considered preliminary.
