Vivo has quietly unveiled the Vivo Y500 in Pakistan. While the company has previously introduced Y500-series models such as the Y500, Y500i, Y500s, and Y500 Pro in China, this is the first device from the lineup to debut outside its home market. One of its biggest highlights is the 8,100mAh battery, which is the largest ever seen on a Vivo smartphone launched outside China. Besides its huge battery, the phone also features an AMOLED display, a 50-megapixel dual-camera setup, and OriginOS 6. Here’s everything you need to know about the device.
