Vivo Z6 5G: Price In India, Specs, Review - All You Need To Know

After a couple of rumors about the Vivo Z6 5G, the brand has now confirmed that the handset will be introduced in China at a launch event on 29 February.

Since the Vivo Z series is positioned in the mid-range segment, we believe that the forthcoming Vivo Z6 5G should also be a mid-range smartphone as well. Therefore, its price will likely be below CNY 2,000 (around Rs. 20,500).

The brand has created a landing page for the phone and allowed users to pre-order it. Users who pre-order the phone by 28 February will be eligible to get a free pair of XE900 headphones.

On the poster, you can see the upcoming Vivo Z6 5G will feature a hole-punch display with a cut-out for a single selfie camera on the top right corner. A different teaser photo of the phone confirms that it will have a PC-grade cooling system. With that, the brand could be planning to release the handset to take on Xiaomi’s mid-range smartphone, Redmi K30 5G.

Being a mid-ranger, it is quite understandable that the Vivo Z6 5G will be powered by a Snapdragon 765G chipset with Snapdragon X55 5G modem for 5G connectivity. It is also the same chipset Xiaomi used on the Redmi K30 5G. 

Its render on the landing page reveals that Vivo will go for a quad-camera lens setup at the back of this phone. All four cameras will be located in a rectangular module along with an LED flash. It is also confirmed to be fueled by a beefy 5,000 mAh battery, which will support 44W fast charging standard. Other key features include Android 10, Dual 4G VoLTE, dual-mode 5G connectivity, and rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

For now, there is no word regarding its international launch. However, the company is planning to release the iQOO 3 in India on 25 February and its price could be around Rs. 35,000 for the 4G model and Rs. 45,000 for the 5G model.
