It is important to understand the difference between the box price and the actual selling price. The MRP printed on a smartphone’s retail box does not necessarily indicate the amount customers will pay at stores or through online platforms.
Notably, Vivo has not officially confirmed the reported MRP or the final India pricing of the X500.
Vivo X500 12GB/256GB Variant: Box Price and Expected Retail Price
Apart from the reported MRP of Rs 1,69,999, previous leaks have hinted that the standard Vivo X500 12GB+256GB variant is expected to retail at Rs 1,19,999 in India.
Anyhow, the actual will become clearer once Vivo announces the phone and its official pricing at the launch event.
Is Vivo X500 Getting a Price Hike in 2026?
The latest pricing information indicates a substantial price increase for Vivo’s upcoming flagship. For context, the Vivo X300 was launched in India last year in December with a starting price of Rs 75,999 for its 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration.
If the earlier expected retail price of Rs 1,19,999 for the Vivo X500 turns out to be accurate, it would represent an increase of Rs 44,000 over the X300’s launch price. That would be a massive jump between two successive generations of smartphones.
Vivo X500 Specifications and Features
According to the leaks so far, the standard Vivo X500 is tipped to feature a 6.59-inch flat LTPS OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The smartphone could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600M chipset.
It is also expected to feature a triple rear camera setup comprising a 50MP primary sensor with a 1/1.28-inch sensor size, a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 64MP telephoto camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and 3x optical zoom.
The Vivo X500 is tipped to pack a 7,500mAh battery with support for 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging.
These specifications are based on previous leaks and have not been confirmed by Vivo. Vivo is yet to share official details about the Vivo X500’s specs, pricing and availability in India.
Vivo X500 Expected India Launch and Availability
Based on the earlier leak, the Vivo X500 will be available in 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. Details about other RAM and storage configurations, if any, remain unknown.
The smartphone lineup is expected to launch in India on November 26, 2026. However, Vivo has not officially confirmed the launch date or pricing so far.
