vivo’s X Fold6 is the highly-anticipated successor to last year’s X Fold5 and it brings two big upgrades. The first one is a 200MP Zeiss-branded main camera, which features Samsung’s 1/1.4-inch HPB sensor.

Photography fans will also appreciate that the X Fold6 supports the optional ZEISS Teleconverter G2, which offers a 200mm...

iQOO launched the Neo11 in China last October, and now it's apparently working on a new variation of this device, that may end up being called the Neo11s or Neo11 SE.
