Vivo's challenger to Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra spotted in stunning yet familiar colorway ahead of launch

Vivo is working on its next flagship foldable, the Vivo X Fold 6, and by the looks of it, the phone is right around the corner. A few days ago, some real-life images of the phone in the hands of a media personality surfaced online. The images show a green colorway and a camera island design similar to the Vivo X Fold 5.

The images were shared by Sina Entertainment on Weibo, and they show a Chinese actress and singer named Zhu Zhu taking pictures at the French Open women's singles final game. The way these images are framed, they look like PR material meant to tease the phone ahead of its expected June launch.

The actress can be seen holding the phone perfectly positioned for a press photo. The green colorway stands out, but the overall design seems much like the Vivo X Fold 5. Only the unfolded back of the phone can be seen, that too from afar, so not a lot of detail is available. Much about the Vivo X Fold 6 has leaked, however, and the phone is said to come with a 6.51-inch outer display and an 8.02-inch inner display. A 7,000 mAh battery is said to be powering the device that features the Dimensity 9500 SoC.

A triple camera setup comprising a 200 MP primary 'large sensor', a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto shooter is expected. The Vivo X Fold 6 is likely to be announced late this month in China, but a global release is uncertain at this point. Like the Vivo X Fold 5, the successor should also be available officially in global markets at some point
