Vivo yesterday launched the X500 series featuring Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max in China.

Now, soon after the China launch, Vivo has started revealing its plans for the global rollout of the new X500 series along with the Vivo X Fold 6.
Vivo X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max Coming to Europe
Live countdown on Vivo’s European launch page.
Vivo has announced that the European launch event for the X500 series will take place on October 27 at 4:00 p.m. CET. A countdown for the event is already live on the company’s European launch page.
For Europe, the brand is taking a slightly different approach compared to the Chinese market. The standard Vivo X500 will not be launched officially in the region, while both Pro models are confirmed to arrive.
The page also confirms that European buyers can expect the Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max in the region, while leaving the standard Vivo X500 out.
As a result, customers in Europe who specifically want the standard X500 will have to import the phone from China. The two Pro models, meanwhile, will be sold officially through Vivo’s European channels.
Vivo X500 Series €120 Voucher Available
Vivo is also offering an early discount for customers interested in the new X500 Pro models. Visitors to the European event page can claim a €120 voucher, which will be deducted from the purchase price once the phones become available.
It is not yet clear whether Vivo will announce additional preorder benefits or deals closer to the European launch.
Vivo X Fold 6 Global Launch Details
Vivo has also shared initial information about the global availability of the Vivo X Fold 6. The foldable, which comes with a strong focus on Zeiss camera capabilities, will be available through Vivo’s official online store from October 1.
Buyers will receive extended warranty coverage as part of the launch offer. Vivo is also giving customers a Watch GT 2 for free with the purchase of the foldable.
More Vivo Products Going Global
The company’s international expansion will not be limited to smartphones. Vivo has confirmed plans to launch several other IoT products globally as well. These include the new Vivo Buds Clip, Vivo Buds Ultra and Vivo Headphone Studio headphones.
More details about their availability and pricing are expected to be announced as Vivo expands its global product lineup.
