Vivo X500 Pro Max and OPPO Find X10 Pro Max chipset confirmed.
The Vivo X500 seriesis scheduled to launch in China on September 21 and it will be followed by the OPPO Find X10 lineup on September 22. We have been reporting on both upcoming flagship lineups for the past few weeks and a lot of key features have already been out in the open. Now, Vivo and OPPO have finally confirmed that their upcoming flagship smartphones will be powered by MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset. The Vivo X500 Pro Max and OPPO Find X10 Pro Max are among the first phones announced with the newly launched 2nm processor.
Vivo X500 Pro Max Specifications and Features
Vivo has partnered with MediaTek on several display, camera and video-related technologies for the X500 Pro Max. The Dimensity 9600 Pro uses a dual super-large-core CPU design, while the two companies have also worked on chip-level AP Demura 2.0 correction. According to Vivo, this technology helps reduce uneven brightness across the screen at the chip level and is connected to the 2K display already confirmed for the X500 Pro Max.
The chipset also supports AP-level multi-frame motion smear compensation, which is designed to reduce blur while capturing fast-moving subjects.
Video recording is another major focus. The X500 series will offer professional Log video recording through the chip, allowing the phone to capture 4K video at 120fps with 10-bit Log output directly. An external recorder will not be required.
Vivo will pair the Dimensity 9600 Pro with its own Blueprint imaging chip. This combination enables 4K Dolby Vision portrait video, which Vivo describes as an industry first.
The company is also introducing XDZ, a new technology for upscaling video at high magnification. Vivo says the X500 Pro series will be the first smartphones globally to feature the Dimensity 9600 Pro.
That distinction will only last briefly, however, as the Vivo X500 series is set to officially launch on September 21.
OPPO Find X10 Pro Max Specifications and Features
The OPPO Find X10 Pro Max will also use the 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro but OPPO is focusing on software optimisation to make better use of the chipset’s performance.
The phone introduces a new-generation Tide Engine, which can dynamically shift resources between high-frame-rate gaming and on-device AI workloads. OPPO is also using its Falcon Scheduler to manage demanding camera functions alongside heavy performance tasks.
According to OPPO, these technologies allow the Find X10 Pro Max to record 4K video at 60fps for extended periods while also supporting up to eight hours of full-frame-rate gaming in demanding games.
The phone will also feature an 8,000mAh Glacier Battery with an energy density of 867Wh/L. The battery uses OPPO’s self-developed spherical silicon-carbon technology, combined with the company’s battery health algorithms and charging technology.
OPPO says the battery is designed to maintain good health for up to five years. This is intended to limit the long-term degradation that can be a concern with large-capacity batteries.

OPPO is preparing to expand its F-series lineup in India with two new smartphones. The company is expected to launch the OPPO F35 and F35 Pro in October and leaked renders have now revealed the colour options and designs of both upcoming phones. Here’s more on what we know so far.
OPPO F35 and F35 Pro Design and Colour Options
The OPPO F35 series will launch in India next month with the standard F35 and F35 Pro forming the lineup. In a recent exclusive report, Gizmochina has published exclusive pictures revealing the colours and design of both models.
The leaked renders reveal that the F35 Pro will most likely be offered in brown, orange and light blue colour options. The design also adds more weight to the previous rumours that suggested that it could be a rebranded OPPO A7 Pro Max.

The standard F35, meanwhile, will come in pink, silver and purple shades. Similar to the F35 Pro looking identical to the A7 Pro Max, the standard F35 seems to be inspired by the OPPO A7 Pro.
The images also show that OPPO is using different design styles across the two phones. One of the variants features a floral-style pattern, while another gets a wave-like finish on the rear panel.
OPPO F35 Pro Series – What Else We Know?
India is set to be the first market where the OPPO F35 series will be launched. The company is expected to introduce the phones in other markets after their Indian debut.
As of now, not much of hardware and features of either of the models have been revealed. An earlier report has claimed that the OPPO F35 Pro could feature a massive 10,000mAh battery and also suggested that it could be priced at around Rs 45,000 in the Indian market.
However, these battery and pricing details have not been confirmed yet, so they should be treated as unconfirmed information for now.
OPPO has yet to announce the exact launch date or provide the full specifications of the F35 and F35 Pro. However, the company’s recent teasers and the leaked design images indicate that the India launch is getting closer.
More information about the two smartphones is expected to be revealed as OPPO moves towards its October debut.
