Key Takeaways
1. Vivo is adopting a unique strategy for foldable devices, launching the X300 and X300 Pro globally, unlike the X Fold5 which was limited to select markets.
2. The X Fold5’s performance was hindered by the use of the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, but the upcoming X Fold6 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip.
3. Vivo plans to enhance the camera capabilities of the X Fold6, potentially including a 200 MP camera and a multispectral sensor for improved color accuracy.
4. There is uncertainty regarding whether the 200 MP sensor will be used in the main or telephoto Zeiss-tuned camera of the X Fold6.
5. The global availability of the X Fold6 remains unclear, similar to the situation with the Find N6.
In recent times, Vivo has adopted a unique strategy for its foldable devices that is quite different from its traditional candybar smartphones. To give some background, the company has launched the X300 and X300 Pro on a global scale. In contrast, the previous year’s X Fold5 was released only in select markets, unlike competing models from Honor, Samsung, and Google.
Performance Expectations
The X Fold5 lagged behind its competitors in terms of performance due to its use of Qualcomm’s older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. However, it appears that Vivo plans to address one of these issues with the upcoming X Fold6. Reports indicate that this new foldable device will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, which is already found in mid-range phones such as the OnePlus 15R (currently priced at $699 on Amazon).
Camera Innovations
Additionally, leaker Smart Pikachu has hinted that Vivo might equip the X Fold6 with a 200 MP camera, along with a multispectral sensor aimed at enhancing color precision. It’s still uncertain whether this 200 MP sensor will be incorporated into the main or telephoto Zeiss-tuned camera at this stage. Similarly, there are no hints suggesting that the X Fold6 will be available globally like the Find N6.
Smart Pikachu’s insights continue to generate buzz around Vivo’s upcoming foldable, but the availability and specifications remain to be seen.
