Vivo teases the “faster than iPhone” X6 – all-metal design and three finishes confirmed

Vivo has been teasing its upcoming X6 for a while now. The next flagship the company intends to launch is a bit of a mystery, but many sources say it'll rock the deca-core MediaTek Helio X20, 4 GB of RAM, a 21 MP camera, a 4,000 mAh battery, and a fingerprint scanner on its back. Additionally, rumors claim that the phone will have an extra 1 GB of RAM dedicated to its graphics processor, which would make it the first smartphone to rock such a feature.

Vivo's promotion for the device so far has included the flaunting of a few different metal cases for the device, as well as a video, which shows it performing faster than an iPhone 6s in an app-launching test. Today, the company took to social media Weibo to reveal some bits about the handset's design. In vivo's words, the X6 will rock a full metal design, with up to 98% of the phone being made of the cool material. It will also come in three finishes – (drumroll, please) silver, gold, and rose gold.

The phone is, apparently, nearing its launch, however, there is no concrete date set for it just yet.

Apple’s 2024 flagship is still nothing to snark at. It has all the same software features, about the same cameras, save for super-pro modes like ProRes RAW Log 2 recording. If that didn’t mean anything to you, you’ll feel perfectly fine with an iPhone 16 Pro in your hands. And you save about $200 on what is essentially an excellent device that’s still hard to beat. Item prices vary by condition, color, and availability.
