The Vivo X500 Pro Max is the star of the series. Its 200MP Zeiss APO telephoto camera offers 3.5x optical zoom and is paired with a 50MP main camera. The phone has a large 6.85-inch 2K display and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset. The Indian version is listed with a 7,800mAh battery, slightly smaller than the 8,000mAh unit on the Chinese model.
The Vivo X500 Pro is the compact flagship of the three. It gets the same Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset in a smaller 6.36-inch body, with a 64MP telephoto camera and a 6,510mAh battery. Both Pro models run OriginOS 7 and come with a vapour chamber cooling system.
The standard Vivo X500 is expected to use the Dimensity 9600M chipset and a 6.59-inch display. Despite being the most affordable model, it is tipped to carry a 64MP Zeiss telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 7,500mAh battery.
Vivo X500 Series Price in India (Expected)
Vivo will announce the prices at the launch. However, a tipster has already shared the expected India pricing, and it points to a premium launch.
| Model | Variant | Expected price |
|---|---|---|
| Vivo X500 | 12GB + 256GB | Rs 1,19,999 |

Vivo is also expected to launch a new smartwatch, likely the Vivo Watch GT 2, and the Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra, a clip-on zoom lens for the Pro Max, at the same event.
