Overview
- The global launch, which occurred Tuesday, October 27, confirmed three models: the X500, X500 Pro and the range‑topping X500 Pro Max with full specifications published.
- The X500 Pro and Pro Max are the first phones to ship with MediaTek’s 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro while the standard X500 uses the Dimensity 9600M.
- Vivo and Zeiss co‑engineered the Pro cameras around a custom 50MP main sensor and the Pro Max adds a 200MP periscope telephoto with advanced OIS and high‑resolution zoom.
- All models emphasize endurance with large silicon‑carbon battery cells, up to an 8,000 mAh global cell on the Pro Max, plus 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.
- Availability is staggered by region with some markets skipping the vanilla X500, reported European prices for the Pro models vary, and industry sources expect an India launch around late November as unconfirmed by Vivo.
