New vivo X Fold6, features, price and technical sheet

For years we have seen how vivo built, generation after generation, an increasingly ambitious family of folding products. First came the XFoldthen new iterations, improvements in cameras, more refined screens and proposals that looked directly at the highest range. But there was one detail that, from Spain, always left the same feeling: those cell phones passed before our eyes without officially landing here. Now that dynamic changes with the vivo X Fold6a foldable that comes with a very ambitious technical sheet and opens an unprecedented stage for the brand in the country.

The X Fold6 arrives with a technical sheet that makes it clear where Vivo wants to place it: in the high range of this format. Everything points to a device designed for photography, work and content consumption, not just to show off its format.

Technical sheet of the new vivo X Fold6

A live folding, finally, for Spain

The photographic section is one of the great arguments of the vivo X Fold6, and not only because of the 200 MP figure. According to vivo, the ZEISS main camera works with a Samsung HPB sensor and five very low reflection lens elements, while the 50 MP ZEISS APO telephoto camera adds a 3x periscopic structureCIPA 4.5 stabilization, ZEISS hyperzoom up to 100x and telemacro up to 20x. The third piece is a 50 MP ZEISS ultra wide angle, designed for wide scenes. Added to this is the ZEISS T coating and the vivo BlueImage V3+ chip, which should help with clarity, stability and efficiency of photo processing, especially in complex lighting scenes.

The most unique piece of the system is the ZEISS Vivo 200mm Gen 2 Equivalent Telephoto Extender, a 2.35x optical accessory designed to take the foldable camera further for distant scenes, concerts, live events or travel. vivo speaks 96 mm in length and 153 g in weight, with a Keplerian optical structure of 2 groups and 15 high transmittance glass elements. The press release does not indicate that it is included in the box nor does it yet detail how it will be sold in Europe along with the X Fold6, so that point is pending for the European launch. For reference, vivo now sells the X300 Pro Telephoto Extender Kit in Europe for 349 eurosreduced from 399 euros, and also offers it associated with photographic kits of the X300 family.

Autonomy is another point where I want to distance myself. The X Fold6 incorporates a battery 7,000 mAh BlueVolt In the versions presented, a particularly striking figure in a foldable, where the internal space is usually more conditioned by the hinge and the double screen. This is supported by a third-generation semi-solid battery and fifth-generation silicon anode technology, designed to increase energy density. Charging is completed with 80W FlashCharge wired fast charging, 40W wireless fast charging, and reverse charging to power other devices.

In performance, vivo does not resort to a secondary platform, but to the Dimension 9500 improved, a version worked together with MediaTek for large screens, multitasking and artificial intelligence on the device itself. We are talking about MediaTek’s most powerful SoC and a direct rival to Qualcomm in the premium range, although not the most powerful Android processor in absolute terms, because that place corresponds to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It is pure high-end, the same league as mobiles like the Oppo Find X9 Pro and the vivo X300 Pro. On that basis, Vivo promises 111% more peak performance on the NPU and 56% less peak consumption on that unit compared to the previous generation.

The other big half of the experience is on the screens. The vivo X Fold6 incorporates a 8.02 inch inner and a 6.51-inch exterior, both 120 Hz LTPO, a refresh rate that should help make scrolling, animations, and switching between apps feel more fluid. The key, however, is how I try to take advantage of that large canvas with Atomic Workbench. According to the company, the ‘series’ mode allows you to use up to five applications in the foreground and four in the background, while the ‘parallel’ mode places up to four active apps side by side to compare information and work without constantly switching applications.

vivo also tries to reinforce the idea of ​​premium folding from design and resistance. The X Fold6 will be available in China in blue, white and black: the blue model uses glass with a frosted finish inspired by the large blue holes of the deep sea, while the white and black versions use fiberglass. Added to this are IPX8/IPX9 certifications against water, IP5X dust resistance and durability at temperatures down to -20 °C. In a folding device, where the hinge and mobile screens tend to generate more doubts than in a conventional mobile phone, this commitment to protection makes sense.

In China, the vivo In between are the 12 GB + 512 GB variants, for 8,999 yuan, and 16 GB + 512 GB, for 9,999 yuan. To the change used as reference, we speak of about 1,032, 1,161, 1,290 and 1,419 euros, respectively. It is a merely indicative conversion: European prices do not usually directly reflect the currency exchange rate, because taxes, commercial strategy, distribution and possible promotions come into play.

Now there is the part that I live has not yet cleared. The company confirms that the X Fold6 will arrive in Europe this year, but has not yet detailed the specific launch date, configurations, official prices or sales channels for this region. These data will be the ones that define how your commercial proposal looks outside of China. All in all, the news already has weight of its own: after several generations looking from the outside, the Spanish market enters the official roadmap for vivo foldables for the first time, and it does so with one of the brand’s most ambitious models to date.
