vivo V80, X Fold6 and S2 FE Launched in India: Price, Specs and Everything Announced at vivo NEXT 2026

vivo used its NEXT 2026 event in India to launch three very different smartphones: the vivo V80 5G, vivo X Fold6 and vivo S2 FE 5G. The company also introduced OriginOS 7 and gave India a first look at the vivo Vision Discovery Edition mixed reality headset.

The three phones sit in very different price brackets. The vivo S2 FE starts at ₹38,999, the vivo V80 starts at ₹62,999, while the vivo X Fold6 is priced at ₹2,19,999 for the 12GB + 512GB model.

The V80 is aimed at people who shoot a lot of reels and videos, the X Fold6 is for buyers who want a large foldable screen with flagship features, and the S2 FE is focused on long battery life. All three smartphones are made at vivo’s Greater Noida facility under the Make in India programme.

vivo NEXT 2026 Launches at a Glance

vivo V80 5G: Made for Reels, Vlogs and Everyday Video

The vivo V80 5G is clearly aimed at creators who want to shoot, edit and share content directly from the phone. Its main camera feature is 4K Cinematic Video, which records in 4K and lets you apply cinematic LUTs for a more film-like colour style.

The camera system is co-engineered with ZEISS. On the front, vivo has added a 50MP ZEISS Group Selfie Camera with a 92-degree wide-angle lens. After distortion correction, vivo says the usable field of view is 90 degrees, which should make group selfies easier.

There are also more than 30 AI-powered creative features for photo and video editing. Individual AI tools can vary depending on the app, region and language.

If you plan to use the V80 for more video work, a stable grip and better audio can help. You can pair it with a smartphone gimbal or a wireless lapel mic for phones.

vivo X Fold6: Big Foldable Screen and a 6900mAh Battery

Battery life has traditionally been one of the compromises with foldable phones. The vivo X Fold6 tries to reduce that problem with a large 6900mAh battery. vivo says this is the biggest battery among foldable smartphones launched in India as of 10 September 2026. The rated capacity is 6670mAh.

When opened, the phone gives you a 20.38 cm or 8.02-inch main display, so it feels closer to a small tablet. The outer screen measures 16.53 cm or 6.51 inches, making it practical to use without opening the phone every time.

Because it opens like a book, the near-square inner screen is useful for split-screen work. You can keep a document on one side and messages, email or another app on the other. OriginOS 7 also brings productivity features designed around this larger display.

The X Fold6 also gets ZEISS flagship imaging. The China model uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chipset and a 200MP main camera, although India-specific hardware details should be checked on the final retail listing.

vivo S2 FE 5G: The 10,000mAh Battery Phone

The vivo S2 FE 5G goes big on battery. It packs a massive 10,000mAh battery, with a rated capacity of 9800mAh. The phone, sold globally as the vivo V80 Lite 5G, also earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the longest electronic product testing live stream.

The live stream ran for 32 hours and 37 minutes in Chiang Mai, Thailand. That gives a good idea of what vivo is trying to sell here: a phone for users who spend all day gaming, streaming, studying, working and scrolling without constantly looking for a charger.

The S2 FE sits below the regular vivo S2, which brought the S series back to India with a 7,050mAh battery. You can read the full vivo S2 launch details to compare the two.

OriginOS 7: What Changes for vivo Users in India

OriginOS 7 is the software connecting this new lineup. It changes the home screen experience, animations, notifications, AI features and the way vivo devices work with other screens and platforms.

Origin Smooth Engine focuses on keeping animations and app switching fluid over time. Jovi6 is vivo’s updated AI assistant for everyday tasks, while cross-ecosystem connectivity is designed to make file sharing and continuing tasks across devices easier.

The vivo V80 and vivo X Fold6 ship with OriginOS 7 out of the box. More premium vivo devices are expected to receive the update later.

vivo Vision Discovery Edition: vivo’s First Mixed Reality Headset

The biggest surprise at vivo NEXT 2026 was not a phone. vivo also previewed the Vision Discovery Edition, its first mixed reality headset.

Mixed reality places digital content inside your real surroundings. The headset weighs 398g and runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform. Visuals are handled by dual micro OLED displays, while spatial audio is designed to make sound feel like it is coming from different directions around you.

There is no traditional controller. Navigation works through eye and hand tracking, so you look at an item to select it and use finger gestures to interact.

What You Can Do With the vivo Vision Discovery Edition

The headset is not on sale yet. vivo has set up experience zones at 15 vivo Exclusive Stores across 10 cities, where interested users can register for a private demo through the vivo Newsroom.

Final Thoughts

vivo NEXT 2026 is not just about adding three more phones to the market. Each model has a clear purpose. The V80 is focused on creators, the X Fold6 mixes a tablet-like screen with a large battery, and the S2 FE goes all-in on endurance.

The pricing also makes the positioning very clear. At ₹38,999, the S2 FE competes in the upper mid-range segment. The V80 moves into premium territory at ₹62,999, while the X Fold6 at ₹2,19,999 is very much a flagship foldable for buyers who want the latest format and are ready to pay for it.
