The tall, almost square foldable pairs a 6,900mAh battery with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chip.
Vivo’s X Fold 6 is now shipping outside China, roughly three months after the foldable debuted in its home market this June. The phone keeps the tall, nearly square shape of Vivo’s earlier foldables, with a 6.51-inch cover display in a 20:9 ratio that opens to an 8.02-inch inner panel.
Most foldables that arrived before Apple and Samsung moved to shorter, wider designs shared similar proportions. Vivo’s earlier models used the same footprint, and the X Fold 6 follows that pattern. A custom Super Edition of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip powers the device, and a 6,900mAh battery backs it.
The 200-megapixel main sensor uses a 1/1.4-inch-type format and ranks among the largest on any foldable, with only Huawei using a bigger one. A 50-megapixel telephoto and a 50-megapixel ultrawide round out the rear array. Hardware teams weighing camera-first foldables gain another data point, though the visible crease and IP59 rating trail some rivals.
Vivo has not shared pricing or the specific countries where the X Fold 6 will go on sale. Those details will shape how the phone stacks up against competing foldables already on shelves. Camera testing will also matter, since the sensor’s size gives it an edge over most foldables currently available.
What matters
- Vivo launched the X Fold 6 in China this summer and now ships the device to markets outside the country.
- A 200-megapixel sensor on a foldable gives mobile teams a reference point for camera-first hardware bets.
- Vivo has not disclosed pricing or launch markets, which will determine how the X Fold 6 competes.
