Vivo’s upcoming X500 series continues to surface in leaks ahead of its expected launch later this year. The latest information points to significant upgrades in battery capacity, camera hardware, and processing power for what is believed to be either the Vivo X500 Pro or Vivo X500 Pro Mini.
Expected Specifications
According to media, Vivo is currently testing a compact flagship powered by MediaTek’s next-generation 2nm Dimensity chipset, widely expected to be the Dimensity 9600 Pro.
The leak also suggests the smartphone could include:
- 7,000mAh battery
- 64MP 85mm periscope telephoto camera
- Large LOFIC primary camera sensor
- Premium flagship imaging hardware
The tipster did not reveal the exact model name, leaving uncertainty over whether these specifications belong to the Vivo X500 Pro or the smaller X500 Pro Mini.
Bigger Battery, Premium Camera
One of the biggest highlights is the reported 7,000mAh battery, which would mark a significant jump over the previous generation.
However, the leak notes that fitting such a large battery remains a challenge due to the space occupied by the large primary sensor and periscope telephoto camera.
Earlier Rumoured Features
Previous reports have claimed the Vivo X500 Pro may offer:
- 6.37-inch flat OLED LTPO display
- 1.5K resolution
- OriginOS 7 based on Android 17
- Flagship build and compact design
The X500 series is expected to debut in China in September 2026, although Vivo has yet to officially confirm the launch timeline or specifications.
Vivo X300 Pro Recap
The upcoming device is expected to succeed the Vivo X300 Pro, which launched with flagship specifications, including:
- MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset
- 16GB RAM + 512GB storage
- 200MP periscope telephoto camera
- 6,510mAh battery
- 90W wired and 40W wireless charging
- 6.78-inch 1.5K display
Given that the X300 Pro already offered top-tier hardware, the X500 Pro is expected to focus on improved battery life, a next-generation chipset, and refined camera performance.
Note: Vivo has not officially confirmed these specifications. Until the company announces the X500 series, all leaked details should be treated as rumours.
