Vivo X500 Pro Max Release
Vivo brought its top-tier photography flagship, the Vivo X500 Pro Max, to the European market, as MobilMania.cz reported.
The device succeeds the Vivo X300 Pro while dropping the base X500 model from this year’s lineup entirely. Consumers can purchase the Pro Max configuration featuring a larger display, a powerful processor, and advanced camera systems.
The European variant arrives with a 6,750 mAh battery, which grew compared to its predecessor but remains smaller than the capacity offered in China. The phone measures 163 by 77 by 8.1 millimeters and weighs 225 grams.
Zeiss optics and build features protect the device
Zeiss tuned the optics and various photographic modes while applying an Ultra Hard AR Coating to resist scratches and reflections.
Users who order the device alongside the optional Photographic Kit receive a camera grip, a dedicated case, filter rings, metal tripod mounts, and two external teleconverters. The build meets IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance standards.
The 6.85-inch LTPO OLED screen reaches 2,376 nits
The front face features a 6.85-inch LTPO OLED screen with a resolution of 3,168 by 1,440 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate reaching up to 144 Hz. An ultrasonic fingerprint reader sits beneath the panel alongside a 50-megapixel selfie camera. Screen measurements recorded a maximum brightness of 2,376 nits with 796 nits manually, a gamma of 2.23 against a norm of 2.2, and average and maximum color deviations of 6.71 and 10.10 respectively, which occur in the Bright mode that expands DCI-P3 color boundaries.
White balance measurements across modes show the Natural mode around 7,150K with warm and cool adjustments at 6,600K and 7,720K, the Professional mode around 6,900K at 5,860K and 7,900K, and the Bright mode around 7,500K at 6,680K and 8,750K.
Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro 2nm processor drives operations, paired with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage in the tested European configuration. The software runs on Google Android 17 with the OriginOS 7 interface.
