Additionally, the Fold 6 may feature a 7,000mAh battery, which is about 69% larger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Although the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s battery is rumored to eventually be upgraded to 5,000mAh, it will still be miles behind Vivo. It may also be the book-style foldable with the largest battery – that title is currently held by the HONOR Magic V6.
Notably, Vivo had already switched to silicon-carbon technology for the 6,000mAh battery pack that we saw on the Fold 5 last year. It is safe to assume that the same will be done this year too. Additionally, the phone will support wireless charging for another generation, although the leaker has not mentioned any change in charging speed.

Apart from these highlights, the leaker mentions a 20MP primary rear camera for the Vivo X Fold 6. This is likely a typo, and they may have meant a 200MP camera, as this has also been hinted at by other leakers, including one known by the pseudonym bald panda on weibo. Apart from this new camera, the Fold 6 may continue to use the same 50MP ultrawide and 50MP telephoto cameras. Along with these, we can again see 20MP selfie cameras on both screens.
Additionally, a negligible reduction in the size of the internal and external displays can be seen. While the internal display could shrink from 8.03 to 8.02 inches, the external display could shrink from 6.53 to 6.51 inches. However, it is entirely possible that these are reporting errors, and no actual changes occur.
Lastly, the leaker said that the Vivo X Fold 6 could come with full water resistance just like its predecessor, which had IP58 and IP59+ ratings. We are still unsure about the exact level of dust resistance offered by the foldable.
There’s no clear word on the availability of the Vivo
