Vivo X Fold 6 leak hints at 200MP camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and bold foldable comeback

The foldable phone race is heating up again, and this time, Vivo looks ready to shake things up. A fresh leak claims the Vivo X Fold 6 could feature a jaw-dropping 200MP camera, potentially making it the most powerful camera setup ever seen on a foldable phone. If this turns out to be true, this isn’t just another spec bump. This is Vivo going straight for the crown.

With Honor Magic V6 and Oppo Find N6 expected to debut in China as early as March, Vivo clearly doesn’t want to be left out of the conversation. And focusing on camera quality is the smartest way to stand out right now.

Vivo X Fold 6 camera leak 

According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the Vivo X Fold 6 is being developed as an imaging-focused foldable. The big headline here is a 200-megapixel camera, reportedly paired with a multispectral sensor designed to improve color accuracy.

That multispectral sensor matters more than people realize. Foldables often struggle with consistent color reproduction, especially in mixed lighting. If Vivo nails this, it could finally close the gap between foldables and flagship slab phones.

What’s still unclear:

• Whether the 200MP sensor is Samsung or OmniVision

• Whether it’s used as the primary camera or the periscope telephoto

Either way, a 200MP sensor on a foldable is a bold move.

Vivo X Fold 6 vs Vivo X Fold 5

To put things in context, last year’s Vivo X Fold 5 used a Sony IMX921 50MP primary sensor with OIS, along with a 50MP ultra-wide and a 50MP periscope camera. It was solid, but not revolutionary.

The Vivo X Fold 6 sounds like a completely different beast. Adding a multispectral sensor alone shows Vivo is serious about photography, not just marketing numbers.

Vivo X Fold 6 expected specifications 

While Vivo hasn’t confirmed anything officially, leaks point to flagship-level hardware across the board:

• 8.03-inch LTPO AMOLED foldable display

• 120Hz refresh rate

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset

• Up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage

• 200MP + 50MP + 50MP triple rear camera with OIS

• Dual 32MP front cameras

• 6,500mAh battery

• 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging

If even 80 percent of this is accurate, this phone is going to be expensive, and worth it.

Vivo X Fold 6 launch timeline

Following Vivo’s usual pattern, the Vivo X Fold 6 could launch around July 2026. That timing makes sense and gives Vivo room to fine-tune what could be its most ambitious foldable yet.

Foldables desperately need a real camera breakthrough. Thinner designs are nice, brighter screens are expected, but cameras are where buyers still hesitate. If Vivo truly delivers a reliable 200MP system with excellent color accuracy, this phone could finally justify its premium price.

In a market crowded with “almost flagship” foldables, Vivo seems ready to deliver a no-compromise one. And if that happens, competitors should be worried.
