Vivo Launches $1,100 X Fold6 in Europe as 8.02-Inch Design Looks Dated

3 articles · Updated · The Verge · Oct 1

Summary

  • $1,100 Vivo X Fold6 has gone on sale in Europe, extending the foldable’s June China debut to global markets.
  • Its 6.51-inch outer screen and nearly square 8.02-inch inner display now look old-fashioned after Apple and Samsung shifted to shorter, wider foldable designs.
  • The hardware still stands out on cameras and battery: a 200MP main sensor, 50MP telephoto and ultrawide lenses, and a 6,900mAh battery with a Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chip.
  • That mix leaves Vivo pushing flagship specs against the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold 8, even as the visible crease and IP59 rating trail some rivals.
