A recent price leak has mentioned box MRP figures of Rs 79,999 for the F35 Pro and Rs 67,999 for the F35. However, these are reported MRP figures and should not be treated as the final selling prices. The actual launch prices could be considerably different.

Under the hood, it is expected to use the MediaTek Dimensity 7300e chipset. For photography, the phone is tipped to feature a 50MP rear camera and 32MP selfie camera.
There are conflicting reports about the display size, with leaks mentioning either a 6.7-inch or 6.83-inch AMOLED display. Therefore, the exact display size should be treated as unconfirmed for now.
The Vivo S2 FE is also tipped to come with IP68/IP69 protection.
Vivo X Fold6 – October 6
The Vivo X Fold6 could be the most premium smartphone in this week’s launch lineup. Its India launch is expected on October 6, although some details, including the price, remain unconfirmed.
Vivo X Fold6 Price in India
The Vivo X Fold6 is reportedly priced at Rs 2,19,999 for the 12GB + 512GB variant. This price is unconfirmed and should be treated as a leak until Vivo officially announces it.
Vivo X Fold6 Key Specifications
The foldable is tipped to feature the Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chipset and a 200MP ZEISS main camera. It could also include a 50MP periscope camera. The phone is expected to feature an 8.02-inch inner display and a 6.51-inch cover display, with both offering a 120Hz refresh rate. The display is also tipped to reach 5,000 nits peak brightness.
Other expected features include a 6,900mAh battery and OriginOS 7.
Why It Matters?
The leaked Rs 2,19,999 price would make the Vivo X Fold6 dramatically more expensive than the previous Vivo X Fold5, which launched in India at Rs 1,59,999.
Which Phone Should You Watch This Week?
Each smartphone launching this week has a different highlight. Rather than picking one overall winner, these phones target different buyers, from camera and selfie-focused users to those looking for a massive battery or a premium foldable.
The Vivo V80 stands out as the best camera-focused option, while the Vivo S2 FE could appeal to buyers looking for the biggest battery. The Vivo X Fold6 is the most premium option and is also the best foldable in this lineup.
For selfie-focused users, the OPPO F35 series could be worth watching, while the Vivo X Fold6 is also the most expensive phone among the upcoming launches.
