The Vivo X500e and Vivo X500 Pro Max are expected to be new members of the X series. The Vivo X500 and Vivo X500 Pro will likely succeed the Vivo X300 and Vivo X300 Pro models, respectively. Previous leaks suggested that Vivo’s X500 lineup may also include a Vivo X300 FE and flagship X300 Ultra models.
Meanwhile, another tipster, Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), posted details about an upcoming Vivo X500 series smartphone on Weibo. While the post doesn’t include the exact model name, the comments suggest that it is likely about the Vivo X500 Pro Max. The engineering prototype of the Vivo X500 Pro Max is said to feature a 6.85-inch LTPO display with 2K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate.
The Vivo X500 Pro Max’s display is tipped to feature thin bezels and rounded corners. This 2.5D flat display is said to be manufactured using LIPO packaging technology. BOE is likely to supply the panel. The engineering sample is said to have LPDDR6 RAM, which is more advanced than older memory standards. This indicates that the handset may run on MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600 chipset.
In the comment section, the tipster states that the Vivo X500 Pro Max will feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor. The battery is said to be either 8,000mAh or more.
