Summary
Vivo’s X500 Pro Max centers on video upgrades, pairing a new 50MP main camera with a 200MP periscope telephoto and 4K recording at up to 240 fps—double the X300 Ultra’s 120 fps cap.
A 1/1.28-inch Sony Lytia sensor delivers 17 stops of dynamic range, while three-degree gimbal-grade stabilization on the main camera and CIPA 7 OIS on the telephoto target smoother handheld footage and stronger low-light zoom.
Zeiss-backed Gen 2 teleconverter lenses remain compatible, adding 2.35x or 4.7x optical reach, though AI processing artifacts—especially on telephoto shots—still affect text and faces.
Beyond cameras, the phone adds a 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro chip, a 7,800mAh battery in some markets, 90W charging, a 6.85-inch 144Hz display and IP68/IP69 protection.
Vivo is launching the device in markets including Spain, Brazil, India, Austria, Italy, Singapore and Hong Kong, while skipping the US and UK; pricing was still pending at the launch event.
