en.Wedoany.com Reported - vivo released its new generation foldable flagship, the X Fold6, on June 26, 2026. Positioned with a core focus on "large screen + AI productivity," the product leverages deep customization of the operating system, chip, and AI functions to transform the large foldable display into an AI task flow platform.

Since the inception of foldable phones, their hardware has continuously evolved in terms of thinness, reliability, imaging, and battery life, completing the first evolution marked by hardware maturity. vivo Vice President Huang Tao stated that the second evolution of foldable phones should be unfolding an AI workstation to handle complex, large-scale tasks. vivo aims to build a software and hardware platform designed for mobile AI, based on users' needs for AI multitasking.

The vivo X Fold6 is equipped with the OriginOS 6 Fold operating system, specifically customized for the large foldable screen and task flows. Its Atomic Workstation adds a "Parallel" mode (running 4 windows simultaneously) to the existing "Serial" mode (up to 5 windows in a 1-primary-4-secondary split-screen layout). Users can switch between modes by gently bending the screen or swiping up with three fingers, and freely adjust window sizes and layouts. Split-screen layouts can be saved as desktop shortcuts. The operating system also introduces an AI cross-window drag-and-drop feature, supporting operations such as dragging to create tables, text, translations, or save business cards. The system-level AI can proactively recognize interaction intent and recommend combinations.

On the hardware front, the Blue Crystal × Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chip, co-developed by vivo and MediaTek, is specifically tailored for AI scenarios on the large foldable screen. Its NPU peak performance is 111% higher than the previous generation, enabling near-instantaneous responses to AI tasks like summarizing large documents. CPU and GPU performance have also been improved to ensure smooth multi-window switching. The on-device AI voice engine and Swift KV large language model optimization technology, jointly developed by both companies, increase voice transcription speed by 7 times compared to the previous generation. The ultra-efficient concurrent engine reduces overall power consumption by over 20% in heavy multitasking scenarios compared to the previous generation.

On-device AI features include an AI File Manager, which supports intelligent storage based on source application and file type, automatically identifies file content using on-device AI to suggest names, and allows users to organize files via voice commands, as well as perform cross-device global searches. The AI Meeting Assistant covers both offline and online scenarios: offline meetings support recording, real-time role-based transcription, and summarization, and can infer meeting topics, conversation atmosphere, and risks; online meetings automatically activate "Little V Note Assistant," supporting bilingual Chinese and English transcription with five specialized domain lexicons, and can generate structured indexes with timestamps for meeting minutes. The X Fold6 also debuts support for the Little V Claw PC Agent. After deploying it on a PC via the vivo Office Suite, users can remotely control tasks such as Atomic Notes management and smart scheduling. The agent comes with over 30 built-in open-source skills and supports importing custom skills locally or from GitHub.

In terms of design and flagship experience, the X Fold6 is available in three colors: Blue Hole, Salt Lake, and Midnight. The signature "Blue Hole" color features a glass frosted finish. The screen setup includes an inner and outer display: the inner screen is an 8.02-inch Samsung M14 material display, and the outer screen is a 6.51-inch BOE Q11 material display. Both are ultra-low brightness screens capable of 1 nit, supporting a peak brightness of 5000 nits. The battery is an equivalent 7000mAh Blue Ocean battery, globally debuting third-generation semi-solid-state battery and fifth-generation silicon anode technology, supporting 80W wired flash charging, 40W wireless flash charging, and reverse charging. The product supports IPX8/IPX9 water resistance, IP5X dust resistance, and is durable at -20°C. For communication, it features the Universal Signal Amplification System 3.0, integrating a self-developed Z100 chip for millisecond-level antenna tuning. AI network selection and spatiotemporal signal maps ensure connectivity in weak signal areas, and global free internet access is available (up to 30 minutes or 100MB of data). It supports a "Computer Mode" for connecting to monitors or TVs, as well as cross-ecosystem file transfer functions.

For imaging, the X Fold6 is equipped with a Zeiss 200MP Super Main Camera, a Zeiss APO Super Telephoto Lens, and the Blueprint Imaging Chip V3+, along with an equivalent 200mm vivo Zeiss Telephoto Lens G2. The Imaging AI Agent can intelligently recognize scenes and recommend modes. "Stage Mode 2.0" improves clarity and capture success rate at concerts, supporting Dolby Vision 4K 60fps stage recording and dual-camera simultaneous recording. For portraits, it supports full-focal-range night flash portrait photography, using the same Blueprint Native Colors as the X300 Ultra. Additionally, it offers a Smart Album and Little V Photo Editing features.
