[Update] Vivo X500 FE bags multiple certifications ahead of launch

Update: The Vivo X500 FE (V2563) has also been approved by the SDPPI in Indonesia.

Original post follows:

Vivo has been rolling out both V-series and X-series phones in recent weeks. The Vivo V80 went official in India earlier this month, while the Vivo X500 series has already debuted in China, started its Europe rollout, and is lined up for India by the end of November. Fresh certifications now point to two more FE models still on the way: the Vivo X500 FE and the Vivo V80 FE.

Vivo X500 FE and Vivo V80 FE certification details

The Vivo X500 FE has cleared Singapore’s IMDA equipment register as model V2653 under registration number SER/26/0337. The listing describes it as a 5G mobile phone with WLAN, Bluetooth, and NFC, but it does not reveal any other hardware specs. The same FE model has already picked up Indonesia’s TKDN approval and an EEC listing earlier. Türkiye IMEI database listings confirm that both model numbers V2653 and V2654 belong to the X500 FE.

Meanwhile, the Vivo V80 FE with model numebr V2624 has been approved by Thailand’s NBTC regulatory body. The entry is marked approved and confirms cellular support, including 5G NR, again without listing camera, battery, or chipset details. The V80 FE has also cleared Malaysia’s SIRIM type approval and a Bluetooth SIG listing, along with BIS in India and SDPPI and TKDN in Indonesia. These certifications show that it will break cover soon.

Those filings suggest both phones are moving closer to wider availability, even though Vivo has not shared a fresh sale date for either model in these new listings. Listed specs for the X500 FE point to a compact flagship-style package: a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1216 x 2640 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and a 6,500mAh battery with 90W wired, 40W wireless, and 5W reverse charging.

The same listing puts the rear cameras at 50-megapixel (Sony IMX921 with OIS) + 50-megapixel (IMX882 periscope telephoto with OIS) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide). Up front sits a 50-megapixel selfie camera, with 4K video at 60fps support. The phone is also listed at about 7.99mm thick and 191g, with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and an IR blaster.
