Vivo to launch X500 flagship smartphone series globally
Vivo will launch its X500 flagship smartphone series globally on October 28. This comes more than a month after the series went on sale in China. The company’s Austrian division will livestream the event on YouTube, with the broadcast beginning at 7:30 p.m. Azerbaijan time. The main specifications of the models to be released in Europe are expected to be announced.
The X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max are the first smartphones with the new MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro processor. This processor is manufactured using a 2 nm process. The standard X500 model uses the Dimensity 9600M chip. The Pro models have LTPO AMOLED displays with a 144 Hz refresh rate. The displays offer 2K image quality and brightness of up to 4500 nits. This helps make the displays easier to see in bright light. The X500 Pro has a 6.36-inch display, while the X500 Pro Max has a 6.85-inch display. The standard X500 has a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate. Thanks to silicon-carbon battery technology, the X500 Pro Max has an 8000 mAh battery. The standard X500 has a battery capacity of 7500 mAh. The X500 Pro has a 6510 mAh battery. All 3 smartphones support 90 W wired FlashCharge and 40 W wireless charging. The models are water- and dust-resistant in accordance with the IP68 and IP69 standards. The phones run OriginOS 7 based on Android 17. One of the key new features of the X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max, developed in collaboration with Zeiss, is the camera. Both models have a custom 50 MP Sony LYTIA L910 main sensor. Its lens has a 24 mm-equivalent focal length. The sensor measures 1/1.28 inches, while its aperture is f/1.57. The camera uses a Zeiss T* coating and captures more detail in bright and dark areas with a 17 EV dynamic range. There is also optical stabilization to reduce shake while shooting. The figure is 3 degrees on the X500 Pro Max and 1.5 degrees on the X500 Pro. For zoom, the X500 Pro Max has a 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL HP0 camera with an 85 mm-equivalent focal length. The X500 Pro has a 64 MP Sony LYTIA 610 periscope camera. The sensors measure 1/1.4 inches on the Pro Max model and 1/2 inches on the Pro model. Both cameras support CIPA 7.0-level image stabilization. The Pro models also have a 50 MP ISOCELL JN5 camera with a 15 mm-equivalent focal length for capturing wide scenes. In addition, a 400 mm ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra lens is available separately. The standard X500 has a 50 MP main camera and a 64 MP telephoto camera. The camera system also includes a 50 MP ultrawide camera.
The Pro models record slow-motion video in 4K at 240 frames per second. The phones also support 10-bit video, 4:2:2 encoding and the ACES color system. The X500 Pro Max can also record 8K video at 30 frames per second. Another option is recording in 4K at 120 frames per second. The standard model comes in White, Gray, Black and Pink. On the Pro models, Pink is replaced by Sunset Orange. The rear surface of the black version has a pyramid-like pattern that changes under light. Information about which countries the models will be sold in remains conflicting. Only the X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max are expected to be shown at the European event. The standard X500 may remain available only in China for now. According to other information, all 3 models are part of the global series. Following its previous X300 series, Vivo skipped the X400 name and moved directly to the X500 name. Pricing and sales dates for individual regions will be announced later.
