Overview
- Vivo launched the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max for global markets on Tuesday, though some regions such as parts of Europe will not receive the vanilla X500.
- The X500 Pro Max is the large flagship with a 6.85-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED, MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset and a camera array that includes a 50MP main, a 200MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom and a 50MP ultrawide.
- Battery and charging for the Pro Max were confirmed in reviews and listings as 8,000 mAh for global units (7,800 mAh in Europe) with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.
- Reports and leaks describe early European price estimates of about EUR 1,399 for the X500 Pro (12/256GB) and EUR 1,799 for the X500 Pro Max (12/512GB) plus a possible EUR 1,999 photography kit and launch pre-registration discounts; these figures are reported but not officially confirmed by Vivo.
- Industry sources expect an India launch toward the end of November and tipster leaks point to an X500s engineering sample with a 6.85-inch 2K+ flat display at up to 144Hz, with a separate X500 Ultra rumored for next year.
