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.
