Vivo confirmed the standard X500’s camera hardware through a Weibo teaser from earlier this month, and now tipster Panda is Bald has gone hands-on with the phone itself. The image reveals several details that Vivo has yet to officially announce, including the chipset, memory, storage, and battery.
The X500 is powered by a Dimensity 9600M running at 4.21GHz across its eight cores. The base configuration comes with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Vivo also supports virtual memory expansion of up to 24GB and storage expansion of up to 50GB through compression.
What’s notable here is that this is the first mention or on-device confirmation of Dimensity 9600M. The chip is likely based on Dimensity 9500, which was previously rumored to be rebranded for some 2026 flagship.
There’s one more chip
As for the cameras, the X500 uses the same main sensor as the X300 Pro: a Blueprint-branded Sony LYTIA-828 measuring 1/1.28-inch. Vivo says this is the largest main camera sensor it has used on a standard X-series model. The camera also gets Zeiss gimbal-level stabilization with a CIPA 5.5 rating.
The telephoto camera comes from the X500 Pro instead. It uses the Sony LYTIA-610 sensor found in the Pro’s APO telephoto setup, also with a CIPA 5.5 stabilization rating. It can record 4K video at 120fps for slow-motion footage.
Vivo could also offer the standard X500 with dedicated teleconverter support. The compact accessory is designed to extend its telephoto capabilities. Meanwhile, the image processing will be handled by Vivo’s Blueprint V3+ imaging chip.
Keeping the lights on is a 7,500mAh battery, as confirmed in the spec sheet.
Vivo will reveal the X500’s price and availability at the official launch on September 21 at 7 PM. The X500 series will be introduced alongside several other products.
