In the ongoing human pursuit of tools that collapse distance and expand capability, Vivo steps forward with the X Fold 6 — a foldable device that attempts to reconcile the portability of a pocket object with the ambitions of a professional camera and a desktop workstation. Set to arrive in China before June closes, it arrives at a moment when the foldable form factor is still searching for its definitive argument, and Vivo is wagering that argument is found in the lens.
