A rumor back in July tipped that the Vivo X500 Ultra could have three 200MP cameras. A new rumor, however, suggests that may not happen. Instead, the company is now said to be testing a 50MP unit for its main camera.
Words for it come from a new post by Digital Chat Station, which claims that the latest engineering sample of the Vivo X500 Ultra features a 50MP Sony LYT910 sensor with a 35mm focal length.
The 50MP solution has been rumored as well. The tipster previously said Vivo was weighing a 50MP LOFIC sensor against a 200MP option for the main camera, and the latest information corroborates it. The telephoto, however, could still be a 200MP sensor.
Vivo X500 Ultra has a bigger 200MP telephoto
Another post from Digital Chat Station reveals that the telephoto solution on the X500 Ultra is a 200MP unit with a 1/1.2-inch sensor. In comparison, the X300 Ultra uses a 200MP Samsung HP0 sensor in a 1/1.4-inch format, which means the rumored 1/1.2-inch sensor will have roughly 36% more sensor area. The larger surface could capture more light and produce better zoom shots in low-light conditions.
Beyond cameras, the device is expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip, a battery of around 8,000mAh and a 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED display supplied by BOE. The phone is expected to launch in March or April next year, a release window a Vivo executive has already confirmed for the Chinese market.
These details are still based on an engineering sample, so the camera hardware could change before the phone reaches mass production. Vivo hasn’t officially confirmed the reported sensors or the rest of the specifications, and more details should emerge as the launch gets closer.
