The handset is said to feature a large foldable display, a next-generation MediaTek chipset, and a significantly bigger battery than its predecessor. Early details also suggest improvements in camera hardware and durability, as well as support for wireless charging. The handset is tipped to retain a slim and lightweight form factor, with a possible launch timeline pointing to China in June.
Vivo X Fold 6 Could Bring Major Upgrades to Foldable Lineup
According to a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), the Vivo X Fold 6 could feature an 8.02-inch 2K inner display with ultra-thin glass (UTG), along with a 6.51-inch outer screen. It is tipped to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC, indicating high-end performance.
In terms of cameras, the rumoured Vivo X Fold 6 is tipped to carry a triple rear camera system, featuring a 200-megapixel main sensor alongside two 50-megapixel cameras for ultra-wide and periscope telephoto shots. It is also expected to include two 20-megapixel cameras, one for selfies on the outer screen and another placed on the inner display.
The leak also suggests that the Vivo X Fold 6 will likely carry a large battery in the “7K” range, which likely points to a capacity close to 7,000mAh. The handset is expected to support wireless charging and offer full water resistance, although exact certification details are not yet known.
These details line up with earlier leaks that also claimed that the Vivo X Fold 6 will maintain a thin and lightweight design. It is expected to launch in China around June.

The Zeiss-backed outward-facing camera setup included a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto shooter. The phone also has two 20-megapixel front-facing cameras. It is claimed to meet IPX8+IPX9+IP5X ratings for water and dust resistance. The handset, weighing 217g, has a 9.2mm profile when folded and 4.3mm when unfolded.
