• Leak suggests a 6,500–6,600mAh battery, with Vivo aiming to push capacity closer to 7,000mAh.
• It is expected to feature a 64MP periscope telephoto (85mm), LOFIC primary sensor, 50MP ultra-wide, plus a 6.37″ OLED LTPO 1.5K display; launch set for September in China.

A fresh leak from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) now sheds light on the expected specifications of the Vivo X500 Pro or possibly the Vivo X500 Pro Mini. Tipster reveals details about its battery, chipset and camera hardware. Here’s what we know so far.

Vivo X500 Pro (or Pro Mini) Specifications Leaked

According to the tipster on Weibo, Vivo is currently testing a compact flagship smartphone powered by MediaTek’s upcoming 2nm Dimensity chipset. Although the chipset’s official name has not been confirmed yet, it is expected to launch as the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro. The processor is tipped to make its debut in either the Vivo X500 Pro or the Vivo X500 Pro Mini.

The leak also claims that the standard Dimensity 9600 will reportedly be built on a 3nm process and is expected to be an upgraded version of the Dimensity 9500. This chipset is likely to power the standard Vivo X500 model.

Battery capacity is expected to be one of the major upgrades on the Vivo X500 Pro. As per the latest leak, Vivo is currently testing a battery between 6,500mAh and 6,600mAh although the final capacity has not been locked in.

The company is reportedly aiming to increase the battery size further and bring it closer to the 7,000mAh mark before the device enters mass production.

However, fitting such a large battery inside the compact flagship has reportedly been a challenge due to the amount of space occupied by the phone’s advanced camera hardware.

The tipster states that the Vivo X500 Pro is expected to feature a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with an 85mm focal length, along with a large LOFIC primary camera sensor.

Earlier leaks had also suggested that the smartphone could include a 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. If these details turn out to be accurate, the Vivo X500 Pro will not feature a 200-megapixel camera unlike the rumoured X500 Pro Max.

According to DCS, integrating these premium imaging components while simultaneously increasing battery capacity has resulted in significant internal space constraints for the device.\

Previous reports indicate that the Vivo X500 Pro may sport a 6.37-inch OLED LTPO display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, although the high refresh rate has not been confirmed. The smartphone is also expected to run OriginOS 7 based on Android 17 out of the box.

Expected Launch Timeline

As for the launch timeline, the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Pro Max are expected to be unveiled in China this September.

More details about the upcoming flagship lineup are likely to emerge in the weeks leading up to the official launch.
