If you’ve been waiting for Vivo’s next foldable, the Vivo X Fold6, the first major leak has finally arrived—and it looks like the brand is gearing up for a solid upgrade over the Vivo X Fold5. Vivo launched the X Fold5 back in June, released it in July, and now the rumor mill has started spinning again with early details about the Vivo X Fold6 release date, specs, and camera setup.
Let’s break everything down in a simple, easy-to-read way.
📅 Expected Launch Timeline
According to the first leak, the Vivo X Fold6 launch date is expected sometime between April and June next year. That places it right in the second quarter of 2025.
If Vivo sticks to its usual pattern, the global unveiling could happen in early June, with sales beginning shortly after.
So yes—foldable fans, the wait isn’t too long!
📸 200MP Camera – The Biggest Highlight So Far
One of the most exciting rumors is that the Vivo X Fold6 might feature a 200MP camera sensor.
However, there’s a twist: it’s still unclear whether this massive sensor will be used for the main camera or the telephoto lens.
Vivo’s X Fold series is known for strong camera performance, especially with Zeiss tuning, so a 200MP sensor could take things to a whole new level—especially for zoom lovers.
⚙️ Performance: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
Just like last year, Vivo is taking a slightly different route with its chipset choice.
The X Fold5 used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, skipping the top-tier “Elite” version. Now, rumors suggest the Vivo X Fold6 will run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, again avoiding Qualcomm’s highest-end chip.
But don’t worry—Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is still a flagship-level processor and should deliver top-notch performance across multitasking, gaming, and camera processing. Expect smoother animations, better thermal management, and improved battery efficiency.
🔐 Side-Mounted Fingerprint Sensor
Unlike some foldables that place the fingerprint scanner under the display, Vivo seems to be sticking with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button.
This is actually a practical choice—fast, reliable, and easy to use, even with a folded or unfolded phone.
💡 What Else to Expect?
While details are limited at this stage, we can safely expect:
- A lighter and slimmer hinge
- Improved crease reduction
- Larger outer display
- Better battery life
- New colors (Vivo X Fold5 colors included black, blue, and gold—expect fresh shades!)
- More software optimizations for multitasking
The leaks are still at an early stage, so many more features should surface soon.
📝 Final Thoughts
The Vivo X Fold6 is shaping up to be a solid upgrade—especially with that rumored 200MP camera and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 power. While it may not use Qualcomm’s highest-end chip, Vivo’s foldable lineup has always delivered a premium experience.
If the company also improves durability and weight (two common foldable complaints), the X Fold6 could easily become one of the best book-style foldables in 2025.
Stay tuned—more leaks are definitely on the way!
