This chipset will be called MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super Edition processor. This is not the standard processor which you might have already seen in the market. This is specially built for the foldable devices. This chipset has been built in partnership with Vivo and MediaTek specially to power foldable devices.
With this customised chip, things such as multi-tasking, multi-threaded processing and multi-window rendering, will improve massively. Foldables are seen as phones which can take some workload of the desktops. This is not to say that they are better than tablets or desktops, but they are designed in a way to take over some desktops like workload.
The new chipset will be able to handle AI (artificial intelligence) tasks much better. One of things which is said to improve is AI voice engine, which will deliver seven times faster offline transcription speeds, along with a seven percent improvement in recognition accuracy. The Vivo X Fold 6 series is set to debut in the near future. It will first be launched for China.
It will also likely come to the Indian market, and other global markets soon after. The Vivo X Fold 5 series is one of the best foldable camera phones in the market right now. It can also survive if it falls on water. The device is water proof, and it was showcased by Vivo during the launch time. We expect this to be retained with the Vivo X Fold 6 series as well.
