Global Availability Confirmed
The vivo X Fold6 foldable smartphone has been confirmed for a global release. This confirmation comes directly from vivo, which stated to Android Authority that the X Fold6 will indeed receive a global launch. So far, no specific date for this international rollout has been announced.
A global X Fold6 prototype has been tested, suggesting the device is in the final stages of preparation for markets outside of China. This prototype is expected to feature a starting price around $1,176.
Performance and Specifications
A Geekbench 7.0.0 test for the global vivo X Fold6 prototype revealed a single-core score of 1,710 and a multi-core score of 5,977. The benchmark confirmed the device will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super SoC, the same processor used in the Chinese version.
The tested prototype was equipped with 12GB of RAM. However, it is possible that vivo may offer additional RAM configurations when the device officially launches. The global model is also set to launch with Android 17.
Camera and Battery Features
The vivo X Fold6 features a 7,000mAh battery, supporting robust rear cameras. It includes vivo’s second-generation 200mm telephoto extender, which is compatible with the 50MP 3x camera, enhancing its photographic capabilities for long-range shots.
Between the substantial battery capacity and advanced camera system, including support for an external lens, the latest foldable from vivo is positioned to compete strongly in the market. The device launched in China in June.
