Vivo is preparing to expand its budget-friendly Y series lineup with a new device, the Y500. The company announced the phone through its official Weibo account, saying it offers “durable battery life.”
Vivo also claims that the Y500 addresses the “real pain points of smartphone users and pushes the boundaries of the industry,” though it stopped short of explaining what that means.
Visually, the Y500 features a camera module design similar to the flagship X200 series. The module protrudes slightly from the back, and the phone itself has squared-off edges.
For now, other details are scarce. Vivo has not revealed specs, pricing, or even a launch date for the phone. We will get the details as the teaser is official now. However, as a reference, here’s a quick recap of the model that it will succeed.
Vivo Y300 Specs
The Y500 is the successor of the Y300 from late 2024. It comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, complete with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 1,800 nits.
Under the hood, it packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which could be expanded via microSD.
For cameras, the Y300 offers a 50MP main sensor alongside a 2MP depth camera, plus a 32MP selfie shooter on the front. The phone is also equipped with stereo speakers, an under-display fingerprint scanner, and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 80W fast charging, which is enough to top up 80 percent in just 30 minutes.
For now, though, we’ll have to wait until Vivo shares more details. Given how competitive the budget and mid-range smartphone segment has become in 2025, the Y500 will need to bring some promising features to stand out.
