It\u2019s a quirk of the release calendar that when Vivo\u2019s X Fold 6 launched in China this June, it was just another foldable. Now that it\u2019s ready for its global release, the size and aspect ratio feel oddly old-fashioned.<\/p>\n
The X Fold 6 is much the same size as Vivo\u2019s previous foldables, and most other foldables that launched before both Apple and Samsung pivoted to a shorter, wider form factor with the Z Fold 8<\/a> and iPhone Duo<\/a>. The 6.51-inch cover display is in the standard smartphone 20:9 aspect ratio, opening to an almost square 8.02-inch panel. The crease is a little behind rivals, since it\u2019s quite visible, and the IP59 rating is good but not great.<\/p>\n Where the X Fold 6 stands out is its cameras. The 1\/1.4-inch-type, 200-megapixel main camera sensor is one of the biggest on any foldable phone (only Huawei uses bigger), and it\u2019s paired with 50-megapixel telephoto and ultrawide cameras that also look decent. The 6,900mAh battery isn\u2019t bad either, with a custom \u201cSuper Edition\u201d of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 running the show.<\/p>\n The phone is launching now outside China, though Vivo didn\u2019t tell me the price or specific markets ahead of time; I\u2019ll update this article once I have them. I\u2019ve got a few phones on my desk right now (literally \u2014 it\u2019s a mess) but I\u2019m hoping to give this camera a proper test when I can, since it should be better than almost any other foldable\u2019s.<\/p>\n Photography by Dominic Preston \/ The Verge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s a quirk of the release calendar that when Vivo\u2019s X Fold 6 launched in China this June,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":866854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6563,166,165,3,12074,172,74],"class_list":["post-866853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-foldable-phones","tag-gadgets","tag-mobile","tag-news","tag-phones","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=866853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/866854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=866853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=866853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=866853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
