Vivo X Fold 6 Could Soon Reach Global Markets Starting With Europe, Leak Says

The report, citing leaker Roland Quandt on Bluesky, said vivo is preparing to release the X Fold 6 in Europe imminently. Quandt did not provide a specific launch date. He said the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage version may cost €2,199, or about $2,550, in the region.

That price would put the X Fold 6 in direct competition with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, according to Android Authority. The report describes the vivo device as a premium book-style foldable and places the expected European launch against Samsung's established foldable lineup.

The foldable smartphone market is larger than ever, Android Authority reported. Apple has recently joined the category, while Samsung has been selling foldables for years. Chinese manufacturer vivo has also been in the segment for some time and launched the X Fold 6 in its home market a few months ago. The company confirmed at launch that the device would eventually be available globally.

Details about the global rollout remain limited. According to the report, the European release is expected soon, but Quandt offered no specific date. The leak points to Europe as the starting point for the broader global push, with the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage model at the center of the pricing information.

Editor's Summary Vivo's X Fold 6 may soon launch in Europe as the first step in a wider global release, according to a leak reported by Android Authority.
