Leakers Say vivo X500 Ultra Is Testing a Native 10x Periscope Telephoto

Reducing reliance on external teleconverters, a built-in 10x periscope would push vivo into direct competition with other long-range camera flagships.

Overview

  • Multiple reputable tipsters and tech sites published matching leaks on Tuesday that claim the X500 Ultra will include a native 10x periscope telephoto camera rather than relying on external lenses.
  • The same leak batch attributes flagship-grade hardware to the X500 Ultra, including a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, up to 16GB of RAM, a 200MP main sensor, and a 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED display.
  • Leaked power and connectivity details point to a 7,000mAh battery with 100W wired charging and modern radios such as 5G and Wi‑Fi 7, though those specs come from unverified sources.
  • Tipsters also say vivo plans an expanded accessory ecosystem for the X500 series with teleconverters and dedicated vlog cameras, a move aimed at photographers and creators who now use external gear.
  • All claims remain unconfirmed by vivo and should be treated as provisional reporting until the company publishes official specifications and pricing.
