Vivo may soon expand its foldable smartphone lineup with the launch of the Vivo X Fold 6. While the company has yet to announce the device officially, a leak shared by tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that the next-generation foldable could bring changes in performance hardware, battery capacity and camera capabilities.
Vivo X Fold 6: What to Expect
According to the latest leak, the Vivo X Fold 6 is currently expected to debut in China by the end of June. One of the biggest changes tipped for the device is the processor. Vivo is likely to consider MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9500 chipset, a move that would mark a departure from the Snapdragon platform used in its predecessor.
The chipset may not be the only major upgrade. The foldable is also tipped to feature a battery in the 7,000mAh range. If accurate, this would place it among the foldable smartphones with the largest battery capacities available. Most book-style foldables currently offer batteries ranging between 5,000mAh and 6,000mAh.
Camera Upgrades in Focus
For photography, the Vivo X Fold 6 is rumoured to feature a 200MP primary camera equipped with a large sensor. The setup could also include a 50MP periscope telephoto camera using a medium-sized sensor. Earlier reports from the same source claimed that Vivo may add a 50MP ultra-wide camera to complete the rear camera system.
The leak further suggests that the device will use a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for authentication. Vivo is also expected to retain a slim profile despite the larger battery and updated camera hardware.
Furthermore, the engineering prototype reportedly continues to use Vivo’s circular rear camera module design. The display is said to feature more rounded corners compared to previous models. The tipster also noted that white remains the preferred colour choice for prototype units currently under testing.
The Vivo X Fold 6 will likely arrive as the successor to the Vivo X Fold 5, which launched in China in June 2025. That model came with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a camera system developed in partnership with Zeiss and a foldable design focused on portability.
MediaTek Could Be the Talking Point
If the latest information proves accurate, the Vivo X Fold 6 could become one of the first foldable smartphones to use MediaTek’s next flagship mobile platform. The shift would stand out in a segment where Qualcomm processors have traditionally powered most premium foldable devices.
While Vivo has not confirmed any of the leaked specifications, the reported upgrades suggest a stronger focus on battery endurance and camera performance. More details are expected to surface in the coming weeks as the company moves closer to the anticipated launch window.
