Vivo’s upcoming X Fold 6 is shaping up to be a significant upgrade over last year’s X Fold5, especially in terms of camera and battery. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, Vivo is testing a 200MP main camera, likely the same sensor used in the X300 and X300 Pro. This larger 1/1.4″ sensor, up from the X Fold 5’s 50MP 1/1.56″ unit, should bring better detail and may require a mild redesign of the rear camera housing.
Battery life is another major focus. The X Fold6 is rumored to feature a rated 6,760mAh battery, with a typical capacity close to 7,000mAh—an appreciable bump from the X Fold 5’s 6,000mAh pack. Camera versatility is expected to carry over as well, with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens that supports telemacro shooting, enabling detailed close-ups from a distance. Vivo has used similar zoom systems before, so this looks like an iterative but refined improvement.
On the design and performance side, leaks point to a new design language and expanded accessory support, though specifics remain vague. Under the hood, the X Fold6 is expected to run a flagship Snapdragon chip; while the X Fold5 uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the new model is speculated to adopt the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. As with previous generations, a China-first launch is likely, with wider availability possible later, though details and timelines may still change as development continues.
