Vivo X Fold 6 with 9x zoom camera from Zeiss gets launch date, pictures of all colors and new video
Vivo has been releasing teasers for the successor to the Vivo X Fold 5 for days. Admittedly, the last few versions of Vivo's foldables have not been especially exciting. In 2026, however, a thoroughly refreshed generation of Zeiss foldables appears to be on the way, with a camera upgraded to Vivo X300 level, including a 200mm telephoto extender, and a significantly improved multitasking concept, as videos and teasers have already shown in recent days.
Today, Vivo finally announced the launch date of the Vivo X Fold 6 in China, where it will also arrive alongside the new Vivo TWS 5 Pro earbuds with an upgraded Hi-Fi DAC. In China, the Vivo X Fold6 can now be reserved, effectively as a non-binding preorder, though it is currently not yet known whether it will also be available globally. In China, the Vivo X Fold6 will apparently be offered not only in the turquoise-green color that has already been shown officially but also in white and black.
Perfect multitasking meets the best camera in a foldable
Globally, the Vivo X Fold 6's biggest rival will likely be Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which is expected on July 22, though its camera hardware is unlikely to differ much from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, according to previous leaks. Samsung is therefore expected to stick with the 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main camera in a 1/1.3-inch format, combined with the tiny 10MP 3x telephoto camera from the Galaxy S26 Ultra and a potentially new 50MP ultra-wide camera. Vivo, by contrast, uses the 200MP 1/1.4-inch ISOCELL HPC from the Vivo X300 and dominates the foldable segment above all with a much larger 50MP 1/1.95-inch 3.7x telephoto camera, which becomes an optical 8.8x zoom thanks to a 200 mm telephoto extender. Especially during the FIFA World Cup, the new multitasking system with up to four windows usable at the same time should also be practical, as the teaser below demonstrates again. Vivo's official teaser video also once again summarizes the key advantages of the Vivo X Fold 6.
