vivo officially launched the X Fold6 in China on June 26, 2026, marking the brand's most ambitious foldable to date. The device switches to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super Edition — a 3nm chip — making the X Fold6 the first vivo Fold to skip Qualcomm entirely. It pairs that processor with a 200MP triple camera system co-developed with Zeiss and a 7,000mAh Blue Ocean solid-state battery. Pricing starts at CNY 7,999 (around ₱72,200 at June 2026 exchange rates). vivo has confirmed the X Fold6 will receive a global launch, though specific regional timelines have not been announced.
Source note: YugaTech's article referred to the processor as "Qualcomm Dimensity 9500 Super," which is an error — Dimensity is MediaTek's chipset brand, not Qualcomm's. Gizmochina, Android Authority, and vivo's own announcement all confirm this is a MediaTek chip.
