Highlights
- Possible Vivo X500 FE has appeared on Indonesia’s TKDN certification, confirming GSM, 4G LTE and 5G support.
- The model number has been linked to the alleged X500 FE via GSMA and EEC listings.
- Vivo launched X500 series in China; global launch is set for Oct 27, but X500 FE’s timing and India availability are unclear.
An alleged Vivo X500 FE smartphone has appeared on Indonesia’s TKDN certification database with model number V2653. The listing carries a TKDN value of 40.33% and confirms GSM, 4G LTE and 5G connectivity. However, the TKDN listing itself does not mention the X500 FE marketing name or reveal its specifications.
The V2653 model number was previously associated with the alleged Vivo X500 FE through a GSMA listing. The same model has also appeared in the EEC database and the latest TKDN certification adds another regulatory appearance for the device.

Why the V2653 Model Number Is Linked to Vivo X500 FE?
The V2653 model number has been linked to the alleged vivo X500 FE through multiple certification and regulatory databases. GSMA previously listed the V2653 and V2654 model numbers under the alleged X500 FE.
The V2653 has also appeared in the EEC database. Its latest appearance on Indonesia’s TKDN certification database adds another regulatory listing for the same model number.
However, these filings do not independently confirm the final commercial name of the smartphone. The connection to the Vivo X500 FE is based on the earlier GSMA association and reports surrounding the device.
Vivo X500 FE Expected Specifications
Vivo X300 FE.
Some reports have suggested that the alleged Vivo X500 FE could feature a 6.31-inch display and be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. The phone is also rumoured to pack a 6,500mAh battery.
However, these specifications should be treated as rumours for now. The Indonesian TKDN listing does not reveal any hardware details. One recent Indonesian report has also described these specifications as internet rumours, while another source says there is currently no reliable information about the phone’s hardware.
Therefore, there is no confirmed specification sheet for the alleged Vivo X500 FE at this stage.
Vivo X500 Series Global Launch
Vivo launched the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max in China on September 21. The global launch of the X500 series is expected to take place on October 27.
The Vivo X500 FE, however, was not announced alongside the three main X500-series models in China. As a result, its launch timing remains unclear.
The separate regulatory appearances of the V2653 model number suggest that vivo could be preparing the device for markets outside China, but the company has not officially confirmed its launch plans.
Will Vivo X500 FE Launch in India?
The latest certification is from Indonesia’s TKDN database, not an Indian certification platform. Therefore, the listing does not confirm an India launch for the alleged vivo X500 FE.
At the same time, the V2653 model’s appearances across multiple regulatory databases suggest that vivo could be preparing the device for markets outside China. Previous X-series FE models also make a global or India launch plausible.
For now, however, there is no official confirmation of the Vivo X500 FE India launch. More details about the phone’s name, specifications, launch timeline and availability are expected if Vivo officially announces the device.
