The V-Upgrade programme offers an exchange bonus of up to 12 percent, and Vivo is offering up to 40 percent off on V-Shield screen damage protection. Pre-booking customers will additionally receive priority access to Vivo Vision experience zones.
Two AMOLED Screens On The Vivo X Fold 6
Open up the X Fold 6 and the main screen measures 8.02 inches. This is a foldable AMOLED panel with a 2,504 x 2,312-pixel resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and 424ppi pixel density. Vivo has also included 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage, HDR support and up to 300Hz touch sampling.
The outer display is smaller at 6.51 inches, but it retains several of the same features. It uses an AMOLED panel with a 1,120 x 2,528-pixel resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Performance comes from MediaTek's 3nm Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chipset. The processor is paired with 12GB of LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, so there is no shortage of either memory or onboard space in the Indian model.
On the software side, Vivo ships the X Fold 6 with OriginOS 7 based on Android 17.
200MP Zeiss Camera Setup
The camera hardware gets plenty of attention too. At the back, the X Fold 6 carries three cameras tuned by Zeiss, with a 200-megapixel primary sensor taking charge of the setup. It has an f/1.68 aperture and optical image stabilisation.
For wider shots, there is a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera with an f/2.05 aperture. The third camera is a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor with an f/2.57 aperture and support for up to 100x digital zoom.
Vivo has not limited the selfie camera to the outer screen. Both the cover display and the large inner screen have their own 20-megapixel cameras with f/2.4 apertures. Video recording goes up to 8K resolution.
6,900mAh Battery And IP Ratings
Battery life is another area where Vivo has gone big. The X Fold 6 packs a 6,900mAh battery and supports 80W wired charging.

The phone measures 157.16 x 145.66 x 4.40mm when opened and 157.16 x 74.26 x 9.40mm when folded. Despite packing a large battery and high-end hardware, it weighs around 228g.
