A fresh leak on the vivo X Fold 6 points to a meaningful upgrade for the brand’s next foldable flagship. Early information suggests the company is testing the device with the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which should bring a tangible performance bump over the current generation. The prototype is also said to use a 200‑megapixel camera, a clear step up from the X Fold 5.
For context, the current vivo X Fold 5 runs on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and features a triple 50‑MP main camera setup. Choosing a less expensive chipset helped the company keep pricing sensible without undercutting everyday performance. If vivo sticks with that playbook, the transition to Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 looks like a pragmatic balance between speed and cost.
The role of the 200‑megapixel module remains unclear—it could serve as the primary camera or be integrated into a periscope system. Judging by the brand’s previous models, either path seems plausible.
A quick debut isn’t on the cards: the X Fold 5 arrived only this summer, so the next generation is expected around mid‑2026. That timing could align with the possible launch of Apple’s first foldable iPhone, setting the stage for a more crowded—and livelier—foldable market.
Details on the vivo X Fold 6 are steadily coming into focus, and more specifics about its technical features and final configuration are likely to surface in the months ahead.
