Overview
- Vivo announced a China launch window for the X500 family and named three models — X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max — in a Weibo post from the company’s product manager on Monday.
- Vivo says the Pro models will use a ZEISS‑branded main camera built around a custom Blueprint/Phantom 900 sensor co‑developed with Sony and claims a 50MP 1/1.28‑inch design.
- The company is claiming up to 17EV of dynamic range and new video modes that include 4K at 240 frames per second for slow motion and 4K 120fps HDR recording.
- Vivo highlights advanced stabilization as a selling point, saying the Pro Max will get 3° optical image stabilization and CIPA 7.0 professional‑grade electronic stabilization.
- Several key items remain unconfirmed and reported only by leaks or certifications — notably a 200MP periscope on the Pro Max, unreleased MediaTek flagship chips, 90W charging and final pricing or international availability — and independent tests will be needed to verify vivo’s imaging claims.
