Vivo Confirms X500, X500 Pro and Pro Max for China Launch as Specs and Dates Remain Unclear

The phones carry major camera and display claims that will need hands‑on tests to confirm real‑world performance.

Overview

  • Vivo has publicly announced three X500 models for a China debut and has shared details about upgraded imaging and display hardware.
  • Public messaging and coverage give conflicting launch timing, with vivo posts naming one date and some outlets reporting a later China launch.
  • Vivo product leadership says the Pro models will record video up to 4K/240 fps, support 4K/120 fps HDR, and use frame interpolation to generate 4K/480 and 4K/960 fps slow motion.
  • The Pro Max is reported to include a 6.85‑inch BOE 2K Zeiss Master Color display using Q11 luminescent material and a 200MP telephoto camera, per company statements.
  • A Geekbench listing linked to a Pro Max model suggests an unreleased MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset but final silicon, battery, thermal behavior and independent photo/video tests remain unverified.
