vivo confirms that its X500 series will launch in September in China. The lineup is set to include three models: the vivo X500, vivo X500 Pro, and vivo X500 Pro Max. The announcement comes via a Weibo post by vivo product manager Han Boxiao, which also outlines the phones’ focus on improved video features.
Across reports, outlets describe “cinema-grade” video recording as a key theme for the new series. Tech details highlighted in one source say the X500 Pro models will use a “ZEISS Ultra Dynamic Main Camera” built around a custom Phantom 900 sensor developed by Sony and vivo’s Blueprint imaging team. Other coverage does not add additional technical specifics, but notes that vivo has not yet provided an exact launch date, pricing, or confirmation of international availability.
One outlet also mentions a naming shift, saying vivo skips the X400 generation and moves directly from the X300 series to the X500 series. Overall, the shared information centers on the September launch and the three-model lineup, while finer details remain limited.
