Vivo X500 Smartphone Unveiled with Fresh Design in Pre‑Launch Video
Vivo has released a teaser video showcasing its upcoming X500 smartphone ahead of the scheduled launch on September 21, sparking interest among tech enthusiasts. The clip highlights the device’s exterior, featuring a rear design with a circular camera module embedded within a larger rectangular cutout, a trend increasingly common among Chinese smartphones.
Design and Specs
The X500 will be available in four finishes: black, gray, pink and a distinctive gradient. It sports a 50‑megapixel main sensor (Sony Lytia 828, 1/1.28‑inch) and a 64‑megapixel macro lens (Sony Lytia 610) with an optical zoom module reaching up to 200 mm. A 50‑megapixel ultra‑wide camera is also expected.
The phone sports a 6.37‑inch touch display and is powered by a MediaTek 3‑nm chipset; leaks suggest it may use either the Dimensity 9500 or Dimensity 9600s.
Industry Context
This design aligns with the global move toward rectangular camera housings, a concept recently adopted by Apple, indicating heightened competition in the mid‑to‑premium segment.
As the launch date approaches, consumers await final pricing and performance details before deciding on a purchase.
