vivo X Fold6's global launch is nearing

vivo launched its latest foldable smartphone, the X Fold6, in China back in June. We've been patiently waiting for it to go global ever since, and while that still hasn’t happened yet, it seems like it's just around the corner now.

That's because someone in possession of a global X Fold6 prototype has decided to run Geekbench on it earlier today. The global X Fold6 has the model number V2559. It managed a single-core score of 1,710 and a multi-core score of 5,977 in Geekbench 7.0.0 for Android, as you can see in the screenshot below.

Obviously as this is a prototype device, you shouldn’t take those numbers too seriously. The benchmark run does however confirm that the global X Fold6 will be powered by the same MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super SoC as the Chinese iteration. This was paired with 12GB of RAM in the prototype which was tested, but of course vivo could be offering more RAM tiers upon launch. Interestingly, while the Chinese X Fold6 launched with Android 16 on board, the global model will get Android 17 from day one, with vivo's upcoming OriginOS 7 on top.

As a refresher, the Chinese X Fold6 has an 8.02-inch foldable LTPO AMOLED screen with 2312x2504 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, a 6.51-inch LTPO AMOLED cover screen with 1120x2528 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, 256/512GB/1TB of storage, a 200MP main camera with OIS, a 50MP periscope telephoto with OIS and 3x optical zoom, a 50MP ultrawide, a 20MP selfie camera, a 20MP cover selfie camera, and a 7,000 mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 40W wireless charging.
