Vivo’s next flagship family could be close to landing in India. The X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max have already launched in China, and a tipster now says India is next. Remember, none of this is official yet.
Tipped Launch Date
According to an X tipster, the three phones could launch in India on November 25. Reports say Vivo is aiming for late November. The X300 series was popular with photography fans in India, so these phones are its successors. Since the China versions are out, the specs and prices below are educated guesses.
Vivo X500: The Standard Model
The X500 is expected to have a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen at 144Hz and a Dimensity 9600M chip. The battery is tipped at 7,500mAh, with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. The cameras may include a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 64MP 3x telephoto, plus a 50MP selfie camera.
Vivo X500 Pro: The Compact Flagship
The Pro is tipped to have a smaller 6.36-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen, also at 144Hz, and a Dimensity 9600 Pro chip. Its battery is said to be 6,510mAh with the same 90W and 40W charging. The rear cameras may be a 50MP main, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 64MP 3.5x telephoto, with a 50MP selfie camera.
Vivo X500 Pro Max: The Top Model
The Pro Max is Vivo’s most premium phone of 2026. It may have a 6.85-inch 144Hz AMOLED screen and a 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro chip. The battery is tipped at 8,000mAh, again with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. Its cameras could include a 50MP main, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 200MP 3.5x telephoto, plus a 50MP selfie camera.
Specs at a Glance
| Feature | X500 | X500 Pro | X500 Pro Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen | 6.59 inch, 144Hz | 6.36 inch, 144Hz | 6.85 inch, 144Hz |
| Chip | Dimensity 9600M | Dimensity 9600 Pro | Dimensity 9600 Pro (2nm) |
| Battery | 7,500mAh | 6,510mAh | 8,000mAh |
| Telephoto | 64MP, 3x | 64MP, 3.5x | 200MP, 3.5x |
| Selfie camera | 50MP | 50MP | 50MP |
All three phones may ship with OriginOS 7, based on Android 17.
Expected India Prices
| Model | Expected Price |
|---|---|
| Vivo X500 | Rs 1.2 to 1.4 lakh |
| Vivo X500 Pro | Rs 1.4 to 1.6 lakh |
| Vivo X500 Pro Max | Rs 1.6 to 1.9 lakh |
These ranges are predictions only. Final prices may change at launch. If they hold, even the base model would sit above Rs 1 lakh, which puts the whole series in a tough price bracket.
Should You Wait?
If you love phone cameras and big batteries, this series looks promising on paper. The 8,000mAh cell and the 200MP telephoto on the Pro Max are the headline features. But the prices are high, so wait for official numbers, real reviews, and any launch offers before you decide.
More Phone Reads
If you are comparing phones across budgets, there is plenty to read. Motorola Edge 70 Neo leaks cover a 7,000mAh battery and a 144Hz screen at around Rs 40,000. Should you buy the Motorola Signature now or wait for the Signature 27 is a useful comparison if you are torn. And if you like unusual gadgets, the Pebble Qore Vox is a screenless fitness band that also records and transcribes your voice.
The Vivo X500 series India launch is tipped for November 25, but Vivo has not confirmed the date.
