Vivo Confirms X500 Series Launch Date and Reveals Camera Details
Vivo will launch the X500 series in India during the last week of November. The flagship lineup includes three models: the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Pro Max. Updated microsites now show additional specifications, including camera setups and colour options. All three phones will run OriginOS 7, which is based on Android 17. Reports also suggest MediaTek chipsets may power the devices.
The standard Vivo X500 will arrive in Ember Red and Titanium Black. In contrast, the Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max will come in Apex Orange and Eternal Black. The base model features a triple rear camera system. It includes a Zeiss Pro-Level Ultra-Sensing primary camera, a Zeiss Ultra Wide-Angle camera, and a 64-megapixel telephoto camera. The telephoto unit uses a 1/2-inch Zeiss APO sensor, offers a 72mm focal length, and supports CIPA 5.5 Professional Stabilisation.
Additionally, the Vivo X500 supports the 200mm Vivo Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 lens. This accessory uses a 15G Keplerian Optical Structure, weighs about 153g, and measures 96mm in length. The phone also carries a 50-megapixel Zeiss Wide-Angle front camera for selfies and video calls.
Meanwhile, the Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max share a more advanced triple camera setup. Each leads with a 50-megapixel (f/1.57) Zeiss True Dynamic primary camera that includes optical image stabilisation and a 24mm focal length. They also feature a 200-megapixel Zeiss APO telephoto camera and a Zeiss Ultra Wide-Angle camera. The telephoto sensor measures 1/1.4 inches, supports telephoto autofocus, and offers CIPA 7.0 Professional Stabilisation.
