It appears the upcoming Vivo X500 Pro Max will bring some major display upgrades as the company confirms details. Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao on Weibo has been shared information about the upcoming Vivo X500 series and revealed details about the display that will be used on the Vivo X500 Pro Max.
The new screen is designed to improve visual quality while also reducing some of the common drawbacks including higher power consumption and panel longevity concerns. Here’s what we know based on recent reveals.
Vivo X500 Pro Max to Feature 6.85-inch 2K Display
The Vivo X500 Pro Max will reportedly be the first smartphone in the world to feature a 6.85-inch BOE Q11 2K Zeiss Master Color display. The panel will support 2K resolution with the higher pixel density expected to deliver sharper and more detailed visuals even with the larger screen size.
The Q11 display uses upgraded light-emitting materials from BOE along with platform-level improvements. Vivo claims that these changes have reduced motion blur during scrolling by 93% compared with the previous generation. The panel also uses hardware-level Demura processing along with Vivo’s pixel-level compensation algorithms.
According to the company, this improves colour uniformity by 43% and brightness uniformity by 22%, helping provide more consistent colours and brightness across the display.
The new panel is also designed to address the power consumption and durability trade-offs usually associated with 2K displays. Vivo says the X500 Pro Max’s screen consumes 21% less power than the previous-generation 1.5K display, while its lifespan has been doubled. This suggests that users may get the benefits of a higher resolution without a major compromise in power efficiency or display durability.
Vivo has also equipped the X500 Pro Max display with an under-display high-precision multispectral sensor for brightness adjustment. The sensor can identify visible light across different spectrums and colour temperatures. Vivo claims that its detection accuracy reaches a 98% match with the light visible to the human eye.
This allows the smartphone to adjust more naturally as surrounding lighting conditions change. The sensor is paired with 0.3-lux screen brightness adjustment precision, which Vivo describes as the best in the Android segment.
Launch Timeline
The Vivo X500 series is scheduled to launch in China in September.
The company is expected to share more details about the Vivo X500 Pro Max next week. It is also likely to reveal information about OriginOS 7 along with the standard Vivo X500 and X500 Pro models.
