Vivo’s next foldable is already making headlines thanks to the first early report detailing what users can expect. The latest vivo X Fold6 leak points to improved hardware and a clearer launch window. The brand introduced the X Fold5 earlier in the year, and now attention has shifted to its successor. With interest in premium foldables rising, expectations are high as vivo prepares the next generation of its flagship model. The early rumor suggests the device could arrive between April and June next year.
The report claims the X Fold6 may feature a 200MP camera. It is still unclear whether this sensor will power the main camera or serve as the telephoto lens. If confirmed, it would represent a notable hardware upgrade in a segment where camera performance is becoming increasingly important. This early detail alone has already sparked conversation among foldable enthusiasts who want better imaging in large-screen devices.
On the performance front, vivo is expected to equip the X Fold6 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. This continues vivo’s pattern of choosing a high-end processor without opting for Qualcomm’s absolute top-tier option. The previous model, for example, used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 instead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Even so, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 should deliver more than enough power for multitasking, gaming, and extended productivity while helping manage thermals in a foldable form factor.
The leak also mentions a side-mounted fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button. This approach mirrors what vivo has used in earlier models, offering fast and reliable unlocking. It also suggests the company is sticking to a design that balances convenience with durability. Foldables face unique hardware constraints, and a side sensor often provides a more consistent experience than under-display options on flexible panels.
Since this is the first wave of information, more details are likely to appear in the weeks ahead. As vivo refines the software, display features, and charging capabilities of its foldable lineup, additional leaks should offer a clearer picture of what the X Fold6 will bring. With a potential launch expected in the second quarter, anticipation will continue building as the next major foldable from vivo approaches its reveal.
