Vivo recently confirmed that the X500 series will launch in China in September. The lineup includes three models: the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. With only a couple of weeks remaining before the launch, the brand’s product manager has been revealing details about the X500 Pro models’ camera capabilities. Today, he shared two posters confirming the periscope telephoto camera specifications for the Vivo X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max.
Vivo X500 Pro Max takes telephoto zoom to the next level
The Vivo X500 Pro Max will feature a 200-megapixel Zeiss APO super telephoto camera. It uses the same 1/1.4-inch BluePrint and Samsung HP0 sensor combination as the Vivo X300 Ultrah, along with hardware-based 4x ISZ technology. This is important because the high-resolution sensor can support two stages of lossless zoom while retaining the detail expected from a 200-megapixel telephoto camera.
The setup is also designed to extend the phone’s reach with a 400mm telephoto extender, making it particularly well-suited to distant subjects such as concert performances, sporting events, and birds. Vivo is pairing the camera with CIPA 7.0-rated professional stabilization and a Super Capture Engine that supports up to 30x capture. The company says the system is designed to freeze fast-moving moments, including performers onstage and rapidly moving pets.
The Vivo X500 Pro will take a different approach with a newly designed 85mm Zeiss 64-megapixel APO super telephoto camera. Its BluePrint and Sony LYTIA 610 sensor use an unusual GG 1×1 and RB 2×2 pixel structure. The design is intended to combine the resolving power of a 1×1 arrangement with the focusing performance of a 2×2 configuration.
Vivo says its updated telephoto lens design builds on the APO technology used in the Vivo X100 Pro while addressing the size limitations of that earlier implementation. The 85mm focal length and full 64-megapixel resolution also provide additional room for digital cropping. The camera supports CIPA 7.0 stabilization, improved telephoto autofocus and tracking, 4K 120fps slow-motion recording, and 4K 60fps HDR video output.
With the X500 Pro Max and X500 Pro taking different approaches to long-range imaging, Vivo appears to be putting considerable emphasis on telephoto performance this generation.
What do you think of these camera upgrades, and which telephoto setup would you choose?
