The Vivo X500 series could launch in India by the end of November, according to latest reports. The lineup was introduced in China in September and includes the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max. While Vivo has yet to officially confirm the India launch, the global launch of the Vivo X500 series is scheduled for October 28. Here’s more on what latest reports indicate about India arrival of the series.
Vivo X500 Series India Launch Timeline
According to insider reports via multiple media outlets, the Vivo X500 series is expected to arrive in India towards the end of November.
The series is expected to include three smartphones, which are the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max. Meanwhile, the global launch is scheduled for October 28. Reports suggest that the global lineup could include the Vivo X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max, while the standard Vivo X500 may be excluded from the initial launch.
Vivo X500 Pro Max Camera Features Leaked
The Vivo X500 Pro Max could support 60fps AF Tracking Snapshot, a feature designed to track moving subjects while capturing photographs.
The phone is also tipped to offer 4K cinematic slow-motion recording at up to 960fps. However, this mode reportedly uses frame interpolation, so the resulting slow-motion footage should not be confused with video captured natively at 960 frames per second.
Other reported video capabilities include:
- 4K recording at 240fps
- 4K recording at 120fps
- TrueDynamic Log:
X500 Pro Max is also tipped to feature a 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA L910 primary camera and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

For telephoto photography, the X500 Pro is reportedly set to use a 64-megapixel sensor instead of the 200-megapixel periscope camera expected on the Pro Max.
Vivo X500 Specifications: Processor and Cameras
The standard Vivo X500 is tipped to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9600M chipset, distinguishing it from the Dimensity 9600 Pro expected in the two higher-end models.
