Summary

  • September is the launch window vivo has set in China for its X500 flagship family, which will include the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max.
  • 50MP is the headline main-camera spec: vivo says the Sony co-developed 1/1.28-inch sensor delivers 17EV dynamic range, with 4K 240fps slow motion and 4K 120fps HDR output.
  • 200MP periscope telephoto hardware and a 3-degree OIS system with CIPA 7.0-level stabilization are part of vivo’s push to upgrade video, photography, performance, display and software.
  • China’s crowded September release cycle frames the launch as vivo tries to position the X500 series as a step closer to dedicated video gear and a successor to the X300 line.
