Vivo's next-generation foldable smartphone, the X Fold6, is set to launch in China on June 26. Ahead of its debut, the company has opened pre-orders and confirmed several key specifications.
A recent leak has provided insights into the anticipated pricing, and the news may not be favorable for potential buyers. According to an image circulating on Weibo, the vivo X Fold6 could start at CNY 9,999 (approximately $1,475) for the base model, which features 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
If this leak is accurate, the expected price indicates over a 40% increase from the vivo X Fold5, which was launched at CNY 6,999 (around $1,035) for the same memory configuration. This increase is likely due to rising costs of components such as CPU, RAM, and storage.
The leaked information also suggests that the 12GB/512GB variant may be priced at CNY 10,999 ($1,625), while the 16GB/512GB and 16GB/1TB models could retail for CNY 11,499 ($1,700) and CNY 12,499 ($1,845), respectively.
