Vivo has been teasing the X Fold 6 foldable phone for a few weeks now, and it\u2019s looking like a pretty impressive rival to Samsung\u2019s Fold line. Thankfully, the teasing is over, as vivo has just launched the new device.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The X Fold 6 has a more rounded design than the X Fold 5, but matches last year\u2019s foldable by offering an IP58\/59 rating. It\u2019s not quite on par with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold (IP68) or HONOR Magic V6 (IP69), but it\u2019s still better than the Galaxy Z Fold 7\u2019s IP48 rating.<\/p>\n

Unfurl the device, and you\u2019ll find an 8.02-inch folding OLED screen (5,000 nits peak brightness, Samsung M14). There\u2019s no word if vivo has adopted a zero-feel crease like the OPPO Find N6, but the company says the hinge is rated for 600,000 folds. Otherwise, you can expect a cover screen with improved nanocrystal glass protection.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the best thing about the vivo X Fold 6 is the camera system. The manufacturer has aped Samsung and OPPO by switching to a 200MP main camera (1\/1.4-inch, Isocell HPB), but you\u2019ve still got a 50MP ultrawide shooter and a 50MP 3x telephoto camera (LYT-602, 1\/1.95-inch). The tele sensor is actually larger than the Z Fold 7, Find N6, and Magic V6 sensors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Furthermore, vivo\u2019s foldable phone supports an external camera lens for the first time. The X Fold 6 specifically supports vivo\u2019s second-generation 200mm telephoto extender, which attaches to the 50MP 3x camera. This peripheral lets you take native ~8.3x photos and videos, or lossless-resolution ~17x snaps. The foldable doesn\u2019t support vivo\u2019s monster 400mm telephoto extender, but this might be for the best given the add-on\u2019s ridiculous weight and size.<\/p>\n

As for core specs, the X Fold 6 has a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chipset and a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery. This is among the largest batteries we\u2019ve seen in a foldable phone to date. The HONOR Magic V6 is the only foldable with a larger battery (7,150mAh), but this is restricted to the 1TB model in China.<\/p>\n

Vivo claimed earlier this month that the customized Dimensity chip is optimized for large foldables and delivers improved multitasking and multi-window rendering. The company is indeed offering an improved version of its Origin Workbench multitasking feature. The feature was first seen on the X Fold 5 and allowed you to run five apps in separate windows, with one large and four smaller windows. However, the X Fold 6\u2019s version seems to offer several more split-view layouts. Furthermore, vivo says the phone now has a file manager with AI features like intelligent file renaming and file suggestions for meetings.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word on the X Fold 6\u2019s pricing or availability just yet, as the launch event is still ongoing in China. But we\u2019re guessing this might be a domestic release for now. We\u2019ve nevertheless asked vivo about a wider release and will update our article when the company gets back to us. The X Fold 6 is available in Blue Hole, Salt Lake, Polar Night, and Black Gold color schemes.<\/p>\n
