Vivo X500 Pro Max vs. Vivo X500: The next-gen Zeiss cameras are taking shape

There have been a few hints in the past about the successors to the Vivo X300 series, which are expected to be unveiled in September and are also anticipated to be released in Europe. Until the Vivo X500 Ultra is released in 2027, the spotlight is likely to be on the Vivo X500 Pro Max and the new entry-level flagship, the Vivo X500, in particular. 4 Reviews ← exclude selected types ← exclude selected tagsFour Vivo X500 models have appeared in the IMEI database so far, making the (global) launch of the Vivo X500, X500e, X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Pro Max highly likely. While the more compact Vivo X500 Pro presumably features a 6.37-inch display and two new Sony sensors, the Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station recently commented on the camera specs of the standard Vivo X500 and the Vivo X500 Pro Max. Based on current test units, Digital Chat Station expects the Vivo X500 Pro Max to bring a 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch Sony sensor, which—thanks to LOFIC—is said to deliver significantly more dynamic range.

Four Vivo X500 models have appeared in the IMEI database so far, making the (global) launch of the Vivo X500, X500e, X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Pro Max highly likely. While the more compact Vivo X500 Pro presumably features a 6.37-inch display and two new Sony sensors, the Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station recently commented on the camera specs of the standard Vivo X500 and the Vivo X500 Pro Max.

The former is expected to feature a 6.59-inch display and is therefore described by the leaker as “medium-sized,” while the latter is seen as the direct successor to the Vivo X300 Pro and is likely to once again feature a 6.85-inch display. Based on current test units, Digital Chat Station expects the Vivo X500 Pro Max to bring a 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch Sony sensor, which—thanks to LOFIC—is said to deliver significantly more dynamic range. Sony recently unveiled the Lytia L910, which will likely be used here for the first time.
