The upcoming vivo X500 series, including the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max, is expected to launch next month with significant hardware upgrades. According to leaks from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the lineup will feature varied screen sizes ranging from 6.37 to 6.85 inches, advanced 2nm and 3nm chipsets, and high-capacity 7,000 mAh batteries across all models.
Design Shifts and Display Specifications
Design language for the X500 series marks a departure from previous iterations. The Pro and Pro Max models are expected to feature large, centered circular camera islands, while the standard X500 will house a smaller circular module in the top-left corner of the rear panel, according to Digital Chat Station.
Display dimensions are tiered by model. The X500 Pro is slated for a 6.37-inch panel, while the X500 Pro Max will feature a larger 6.85-inch screen. The base X500 will sit in the middle with a 6.59-inch display.

Performance Hardware and Semiconductor Advancements
Processing power is a key differentiator in the new lineup. The Pro and Pro Max models will reportedly utilize 2nm chips, which industry insiders suggest will be the MediaTek Dimensity 9600. The standard X500 is expected to run on a 3nm SoC, likely the Dimensity 9500 or a refined 9600s variant.
Camera Capabilities and Imaging Tech
The imaging systems remain a focal point for the series. Previous reports indicate the X500 Pro will feature a 50MP main camera utilizing a 1/1.28-inch type LOFIC sensor. This is paired with a 50MP ultrawide lens and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera capable of 3x optical zoom, which reportedly uses a 1/2-inch type sensor.
The Pro Max is expected to retain the same high-end main sensor as the Pro model but will differentiate itself with a 200MP periscope telephoto lens.
When comparing flagship camera phones, look beyond the megapixel count. Sensor size (e.g., 1/1.28″) is often a better indicator of low-light performance than resolution alone, as larger sensors capture more light and detail.
