Official teasers that have been rolled out so far suggest that the Vivo X500 Pro series will be a major step forward for smartphone photography and videography. In the latest teaser, Vivo product manager has revealed a notable video capability for the Pro models. At the same time, an alleged real-life image offers an early look at the X500 Pro Max next to the X300 Ultra.
Vivo X500 Pro Max gets a massive camera setup
Vivo product manager Han Boxiao has confirmed that the X500 Pro series will support 4K video recording at 240fps using the Zeiss Super Dynamic main camera. Compared with standard 4K 30fps recording, this captures eight times more frames, allowing users to slow down footage while retaining 4K resolution. Vivo says the feature is designed to capture fleeting moments such as highlights during travel with greater detail.
The company is also working on 4K 480fps and 4K 960fps slow-motion modes. These will be achieved through Vivo’s in-house 4K frame interpolation and video speed mapping algorithms, enabling 16x and 32x slow motion while maintaining 4K output. This could be particularly useful for scenes involving splashing liquids, bursting bubbles and other fast-moving subjects.
Meanwhile, an alleged photo shared online (via GSMArena) shows what could be the Vivo X500 Pro Max sitting beside the X300 Ultra. The Pro Max appears to have a camera island that stretches almost across the phone’s width, making the already large X300 Ultra look comparatively restrained. A separate hands-on video also appears to show a rotating ring around the camera module, with markings that could relate to ISO controls.
The X500 Pro Max is expected to feature three rear cameras, including a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 200-megapixel telephoto camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The main sensor is reportedly a 1/1.28-inch Sony LOFIC unit, while the telephoto camera could use Samsung’s 1/1.4-inch HP0 sensor.
The phone is also expected to feature a 6.85-inch LTPO display with a 144Hz refresh rate and one of MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600 chips. The Vivo X500 series is confirmed to launch in September, with the lineup expected to include the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max.
