vivo X Fold6 Now Official Globally With 6,900mAh Battery, Dimensity 9500 Super

Three months after its debut in China, vivo has officially launched the X Fold6 globally. Although this news is not unexpected for those following recent rumors, the company markets the device as a productivity-focused phone. Despite this focus, vivo claims the handset boasts impressive performance and imaging capabilities.

The X Fold6 features a 6.51-inch LTPO AMOLED cover screen with a resolution of 1,120 x 2,528 pixels. Upon unfolding the device, users encounter another LTPO AMOLED panel, measuring 8.02 inches with a higher resolution of 2,312 x 2,504 pixels. Both screens offer a peak brightness of 5,000 nits and a refresh rate of 120Hz.

Under the hood, the foldable runs on MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 Super SoC, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and storage options up to 1TB. Powering the device is a 6,900mAh BlueVolt Battery that supports fast charging options such as 80W FlashCharge, 40W Wireless FlashCharge, and wireless reverse charging.

The operating system, OriginOS 7 Fold, is a custom-built software interface based on Android 17, tailored specifically for the X Fold6. The system includes productivity tools like Multi-Task Workbench, enabling users to work with up to four resizable windows. Additionally, AI Cross-App Drag allows content to be moved between apps, and the OS introduces an AI agent called Jovi, capable of managing tasks, generating content, and completing office workflows via voice commands.

Physical specifications include IP58 and IP59 ratings for dust and water resistance. The phone's imaging capabilities are equipped with a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. For front-facing cameras, two 20MP lenses are provided, one on the cover display and the other on the internal display.

Notably, there's a rear case available for attaching the ZEISS Teleconverter G2 kit. The device is set to launch globally, though the international price and market availability remain undisclosed as of now. A starting price of EUR2,199.99 (~RM10,160) for a 12GB + 512GB configuration is rumored. The phone will be available in two colors: "Prism Black" and "Nebula Teal." Updates will be provided if there are further developments.

Why Your WebP Is Larger Than the Original PNG

Converting an image to WebP does not guarantee a smaller file. If your exported WebP outweighs the original PNG, check the image content and encoder settings before assuming the converter is broken.

  • Images with limited color palette compress well as PNG.
  • Lossy WebP increases file size due to color representation changes.
  • Adjust compression effort for better compression without lowering quality.
