This flagship Android foldable will support 200mm optical zoom

vivo is gearing up to launch its next foldable phone: the vivo X Fold 6. The company has been teasing the device over the past weeks, and today it has confirmed the camera and display specs of the foldable as well.

In a Weibo post, vivo executive Han Boxiao confirmed that the X Fold 6 will not hold back in the camera department. The phone will come with a 200MP primary camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor. It will also pack a ZEISS APO Super Telephoto lens with the Sony LYT 602 sensor.

The X Fold 6 will also support the ZEISS G2 telephoto converter, which launched alongside the vivo X300 series. It will let the X Fold 6 take 200mm equivalent photos for a more versatile camera experience. It’s worth noting that the X Fold 6 will not support the 400mm teleconverter that’s supported on the X300 Ultra.

Boxiao also confirmed that the phone will use the vivo V3+ imaging chip and shared some camera samples as well:

The X Fold 6 is also confirmed to feature an 8.02-inch inner screen, and vivo is using Samsung’s M14 luminous material for the display. It will feature 5,000 nits of peak brightness for outdoor use, and drop to 1 nit for late-night phone use.

Meanwhile, in another Weibo post, vivo executive Huang Tao also shared details about the phone’s design. The X Fold 6 features a more rounded design alongside a 2.5D vertical metal frame for a comfortable grip.

He also confirmed that the phone will come in a new “Blue Hole” color. This is the same color that we saw in leaked real-world images last week. He also shared some images of the vivo X Fold 6, including one with the ZEISS telephoto converter attached to the phone.

vivo has confirmed the phone will launch this month in China, but hasn’t yet mentioned a specific launch date. We’ll also have to keep an eye out for global launch plans, as this foldable will give intense competition to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra if it does get a wider global release.
