Vivo X Fold 6 Price Leak Points to a Major 40% Jump Over the Vivo X Fold 5
The vivo X Fold6 is set to launch on June 26 in China with a leaked starting price of CNY 9,999, marking a 40% increase over its predecessor. The foldable features a 7,000mAh battery, Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chip, and a 200MP main camera. Pre-orders are currently open ahead of the official release date.
Vivo is preparing to launch its next-generation foldable smartphone, the vivo X Fold6, in China on June 26, but recent leaks suggest a significant increase in pricing for the upcoming device. According to a leaked image circulating on Weibo, the base model featuring 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage may start at CNY 9,999 (approximately INR 1,40,000). This potential price point represents a substantial jump of over 40% compared to the vivo X Fold5, which launched at CNY 6,999 (approximately INR 97,900) for the same configuration. Industry analysts suggest this hike is likely driven by the rising costs of essential components, including the CPU, RAM, and internal storage.
The leak also outlines pricing for higher-end variants of the device. The 12GB/512GB model is expected to cost CNY 10,999 (approximately INR 1,54,000), while the 16GB/512GB and 16GB/1TB models may be priced at CNY 11,499 (approximately INR 1,60,000) and CNY 12,499 (approximately INR 1,75,000), respectively.
