Vivo unveils foldable smartphone X Fold 6 with 200MP camera and 6900mAh battery

Vivo has released its new premium foldable phone, the X Fold 6, in the Indian market. The device is priced at ₹2,19,999. The model is equipped with a 200MP ZEISS camera, a 6900mAh battery, and the next-generation Dimensity 9500 Super Edition processor.

The competitiveness of this offering compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is a point of discussion. Previously, foldable smartphone manufacturers kept prices within 1.5 lakh rupees, but the release of the Apple foldable phone for 3 lakh rupees changed the market situation, forcing other companies to set prices above 2 lakh rupees. There are suggestions that Samsung may also launch its next foldable device at a price of around 2.5 lakh rupees.

Compared to the previous model, the X Fold 5, which was priced at ₹1,59,999 in India, the new device is approximately ₹60,000 more expensive. The Vivo X Fold 6 is presented in one configuration option: 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Pre-orders begin on October 6th, and official sales start on October 13th through the Vivo online store, Amazon, Flipkart, and selected retail outlets.

The main camera of the Vivo X Fold 6 is a 200MP ZEISS sensor, which also includes OIS technology and ZEISS T Star coating. Additionally, the device features a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera capable of achieving up to 100x digital zoom. Experts note that while the 200MP specification is impressive, image quality depends not only on megapixels but also on sensor size, lens quality, OIS presence, image processing, and ZEISS color correction.

Vivo has paid significant attention to the camera capabilities in the foldable phone. The device supports 4K video recording at 60 frames per second with Dolby Vision support, utilizing the V3+ Imaging chip. This makes the phone suitable not only for users who value a foldable screen but also for those who actively shoot photos and videos.

Despite the advantages of a large screen in foldable devices, the battery has always been an issue. Vivo addressed this in the X Fold 6 by installing a 6900mAh battery, which the company claims is the largest among foldable phones sold in India. Charging support includes 80W wired and 40W wireless. This is a substantial improvement over the 6000mAh in the previous X Fold 5, indicating a priority placed on maximizing battery capacity over striving for the thinnest possible body.

Nevertheless, despite the larger battery, Vivo maintained a relatively thin profile: when open, the X Fold 6 has a thickness of about 4.4mm, and the black version starts at 228 grams. The device's display includes an 8.02-inch LTPO AMOLED inner display with a 2K+ resolution, as well as a 6.51-inch outer screen. Both displays support a refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz, with a peak brightness reaching 5000 nits.

The X Fold 6 runs on OriginOS 7, based on Android 17. The company has focused on transforming the large screen into a full-fledged workstation. Key features include Origin Workbench and Multi-Split Screen, allowing multiple applications to run simultaneously. According to the manufacturer, one primary and four secondary applications can operate on the screen in parallel. The AI Cross-App Drag function is also implemented for convenient transfer of text or data between apps, alongside tools such as Desktop Mode, AI Recorder, AI Captions, AI File Manager, and AI Reader.

Vivo prepares to launch new S2 FE smartphone with 10,000 mAh battery for up to 40,000 rupees

Vivo plans to introduce a new smartphone to the Indian market, whose main feature, according to reports, will not be the camera or processor, but a 10,000 mAh battery. Leaks regarding the design, specifications, and price of the new Vivo S2 FE have emerged before the official sales launch. If these rumors are confirmed, the device may particularly interest users who dislike charging their phones frequently.

It is interesting that information about the Vivo S2 FE appeared at a time when the company is strengthening its S series in India. Vivo previously released the S2 model in August, and now it is preparing to present the S2 FE as a more affordable option in this series.

Price at 39,999 rupees, actual cost may be lower

According to leaks, the Vivo S2 FE model with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage will cost 39,999 rupees at retail. This means the phone will fall into the under 40,000 rupee price segment, although the price listed on the box does not necessarily reflect the actual selling price. The company will provide full information on pricing and promotions during the launch.

Could the 10,000 mAh battery become the main sales advantage?

The most significant news about the Vivo S2 FE is its 10,000 mAh battery. According to leaks, the phone may support 44W fast charging. If this information proves true, this device could become the highest capacity in Vivo's portfolio for India. This would benefit those who watch a lot of videos, play games, use social media, or use their phone throughout the day. However, one cannot judge the real battery life solely by the battery capacity; the processor, display, software, and usage method also play a significant role.

Nevertheless, the 10,000 mAh battery could set this phone apart in the market, especially against the backdrop of the rapid growth of models with batteries around 7,000 mAh.

Will there also be a 120Hz AMOLED display?

Leaks suggest that the Vivo S2 FE will be equipped with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution. It is also reported to support a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits. If these specifications are confirmed, the phone's focus will not only be on the large battery; the large AMOLED screen and 120Hz refresh rate will contribute to an improved experience when watching videos, gaming, and daily use.

Discussion of the Dimensity 7300e chipset

To ensure performance in the Vivo S2 FE, the use of the MediaTek Dimensity 7300e chipset is being considered. The phone was spotted on Geekbench under the model number V2640, and the list included a model with 6 GB of RAM. According to reports, the phone may run on Android 16 and OriginOS 6. The base version is presented with 128 GB of storage, although there is no official information yet about the release of other RAM and storage configurations.

What will the camera look like?

Regarding the cameras, leaks indicate the presence of a 50 MP main rear sensor and a 32 MP front selfie camera. Some reports also mention an additional 2-megapixel sensor on the back. Thus, Vivo seems to be aiming to create not just a smartphone with a large battery, but a balanced device in terms of display, camera, and performance.

Information was also provided that the launch of the Vivo V80 in India is scheduled for October 6th at 12:00 PM. The company officially announced this. Regarding the Vivo V80, the company emphasizes features such as a 7,200 mAh battery, a 1.5K OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and a ZEISS camera system.
