A new leak has shed more light on the upcoming Vivo X500 series, including the standard model’s design and display. The information also gives us an early look at how Vivo could differentiate the X500 from its Pro siblings.

Vivo X500 design and display details

According to Digital Chat Station, the Vivo X500 Pro series will feature a cantered, large circular camera module on the rear. The Pro models are expected to come in two screen sizes, around 6.37 inches and 6.85 inches, with extremely narrow bezels on all four sides. The displays will reportedly have larger corner radii for a more comfortable look and feel.

The standard Vivo X500, meanwhile, is said to take a different approach. It could feature a large circular camera module positioned in the upper-left corner instead of the centered design expected on the Pro models. The phone is also tipped to feature a roughly 6.59-inch flat display, placing it between the two rumored Pro screen sizes.

The standard Vivo X500 is rumored to debut with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600, while the X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max could use the higher-end Dimensity 9600 Pro. The series is also expected to offer displays with 1.5K or 2K resolution and refresh rates of up to 144Hz.

For photography, the Pro models are tipped to feature a 50-megapixel Sony main camera with LOFIC technology. The technology is designed to improve dynamic range, helping preserve more detail in challenging lighting conditions such as backlit scenes and night photography.

Current speculation points to a September debut, although Vivo has yet to confirm an official launch date. Meanwhile, global variants of the X500 series have been gradually securing certifications, suggesting that the international launch may not be far away.

Poco is reportedly working on the Poco F9 series of smartphones. According to a report by XimiTime, two F9 series devices have emerged in the GSMA IMEI database, revealing their model numbers and monikers. At the same time, these devices have also received certifications in multiple countries, indicating that their global launch could be fast approaching.

Poco F9 Ultra, Poco F9 Pro global launch may be near

The GSMA IMEI database listings reveal that the upcoming Poco F9 Pro carries the model number 2607APCA5G, while the Poco F9 Ultra has the model number 26077PC53G. These devices are expected to launch globally, including in the EEA, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia, and Japan. While India is a major market for Poco, it is unlikely to receive the F9 Pro and F9 Ultra.

Apart from surfacing in the IMEI database, both devices have also appeared on Indonesia’s SDPPI and Singapore’s IMDA certification platforms. This is earlier than expected, considering that the Poco F8 Ultra and F8 Pro were spotted on IMDA and Thailand’s NBTC certification platform in October before going official in November.

The Redmi K100 series is expected to debut in China in August. Since the Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra are expected to be based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered Redmi K100 series, the F9 lineup could break cover globally as early as October.

Vivo X500 certified in Indonesia

A recent report revealed that the global version of the Vivo X500 has appeared in the GSMA IMEI database. More recently, the Vivo X500 Pro Max was approved by Indonesia’s TKDN certification platform, and now the Vivo X500 has also surfaced in the same database. In addition, the X500, carrying the model number V2610, has appeared on Indonesia’s SDPPI certification platform.

For those unaware, the TKDN certification measures the percentage of locally sourced Indonesian components in a product, while the SDPPI certification confirms that a device complies with Indonesia’s telecommunications and radio equipment standards before it can be sold in the country.

As usual, none of these certifications reveal any specifications. However, since the global Vivo X500 models have already started appearing on certification platforms, it appears that their global launch could take place around a month after the China debut, which is expected in September.

The post Vivo X500 Pro Max display details leaked, 8,000mAh+ battery tipped again appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max had been either delayed or cancelled. However, in a newer Weibo post, the tipster stated that the rumored Find X10 Pro Max project remains active and has not been cancelled, putting to rest recent speculation about its future.

Oppo Find X10 Pro Max’s telephoto camera tipped again

According to the tipster, current Pro Max engineering models are being tested with a single periscope telephoto camera rather than a dual telephoto setup. These devices are said to feature 200-megapixel large-sensor periscope cameras, with sensor sizes reportedly ranging between 1/1.28-inch, 1/1.4-inch, and 1/1.56-inch across different prototypes.

A previous leak from the same source revealed that the Find X10 Pro Max could be equipped with a Samsung HPC 200-megapixel camera featuring a 1/1.28-inch sensor. The 1/1.4-inch and 1/1.56-inch sensors mentioned by the tipster seemingly belong to the 200-megapixel cameras that could be used on the Vivo X500 Pro Max and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, respectively.

Digital Chat Station further revealed in today’s leak that all of these Pro Max models will support telephoto macro photography, allowing users to capture close-up shots using the periscope camera.

Coming back to the Find X10 Pro Max, it is said to feature a 200-megapixel primary camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, a 200-megapixel or 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

The post Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is still in the works, set to feature a single 200MP periscope telephoto sensor appeared first on Gizmochina.

Reports have revealed that the upcoming Vivo X500 series will comprise of three devices equipped with different display sizes. The exact monikers of these devices are not known, but they are likely to be dubbed Vivo X500, X500 Pro (or Pro Mini), and Vivo X500 Pro Max. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station published a Weibo post revealing the chipset and camera details of the Vivo X500 Pro.

Vivo X500 Pro: Chipset and camera details tipped

According to the leak, the device is currently being tested with MediaTek’s next-generation 2nm Dimensity 9600 series chipset and could become one of only two “Pro” compact flagship phones expected later this year.

The tipster also revealed early camera specifications of the engineering prototype. The Vivo X500 Pro is said to feature a 50-megapixel primary camera with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor and LOFIC technology, alongside a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The setup may also include a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with around 3x optical zoom.

While some may assume that the 64-megapixel unit could be the OmniVision OV64B sensor, which has appeared on several smartphones over the past few years, tipster Digital Chat Station has reportedly clarified that the Vivo X500 Pro’s periscope telephoto camera will instead use Sony’s new IMX06H sensor. This also suggests that a 200-megapixel camera may remain exclusive to the Vivo X500 Pro Max in the lineup, where it is expected to serve as the periscope telephoto camera.

As per other reports, the Vivo X500 Pro will have a 6.37-inch flat OLED LTPO panel with support for a 1.5K resolution. It is also expected to pack a 7,000mAh+ battery. Being a next-generation flagship, the device is expected to come preloaded with OriginOS 7-based Android 17.

The post Vivo X500 Pro series phone’s cameras leaked in detail, skips 200MP camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

Speculation is growing that Vivo may unveil the Vivo X500 series earlier than its predecessor. The lineup is expected to include three models, namely the Vivo X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. Recent reports have already revealed the display sizes of all three phones, and now a new leak has surfaced, revealing the battery capacity of the Pro Max edition.

Vivo X500 Pro Max battery size tipped

Since there was no Pro Max edition in the X300 lineup, the upcoming Vivo X500 Pro Max will be a new model expected to feature a massive 6.85-inch OLED panel with support for 2K resolution.

It is expected to be powered by a next-generation 2nm chipset, which could be the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro. The tipster added that the prototype unit is currently being tested with an 8,000mAh battery, although the final hardware design has reportedly not been completed yet. Vivo is said to still be working on the internal structure and hopes to achieve the targeted battery capacity in the final version.

The new leak aligns with a recent report claiming that the entire X500 lineup will feature high-density 7,000mAh+ batteries. This would mark a significant upgrade, considering that the Vivo X300 packs a 6,040mAh battery, while the X300 Pro houses a 6,510mAh unit. The X300s, which debuted a few weeks ago in China, features a 6.78-inch display similar to the X300 Pro but packs a larger 7,100mAh battery.

Reports further suggest that the Vivo X500 will feature a 6.59-inch display, while the Vivo X500 Pro could arrive with a 6.37-inch panel. Both devices are also expected to feature Dimensity 9600-series chipsets.

The Vivo X500 Ultra, which may debut next year in the first half, could sport the same display as the X500 Pro Max. While the Ultra edition may feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, the other X500 series devices could be equipped with Dimensity 9600 series chipsets.

The Vivo X500 series will also reportedly include a model called the Vivo X500e, but there is no clarity on whether it is heading to China or if it is meant only for the global market.

The rumor mill is gradually revealing details about the Vivo X500 series, which is expected to launch in China in September this year. Ahead of the launch, a reliable tipster has claimed that the lineup will comprise three models. The same leak also appears to reveal details about the X500 Pro variant.

Alleged Vivo X500 Pro’s key details tipped

According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, an upcoming next-generation flagship smartphone series may include a new “Pro Mini”-positioned model. While the tipster did not explicitly mention the brand name, the device could belong to the upcoming Vivo X500 lineup.

The tipster claims the alleged device could feature a next-generation 2nm flagship chipset along with a new 50-megapixel LOFIC ultra-large primary camera sensor and an upgraded periscope telephoto camera. The chipset being referred to appears to be the upcoming Dimensity 9600.

In the comments section of the post, a user asked whether the “mini” model could feature a 6.5-inch display instead of a smaller screen. In response, Digital Chat Station reportedly stated that the lineup may include small-screen, medium-sized, and large-screen variants. Therefore, it appears that the compact flagship may feature a 6.4-inch display, which is generally expected from a compact smartphone.

Speculating on the Vivo X500 series lineup

Considering that the above-mentioned flagship is expected to feature the Dimensity 9600 chipset, it is possible that this device could launch as the Vivo X500 Pro. Previous reports suggest that the standard X500 variant may feature the forthcoming 3nm Dimensity 9500 Plus chipset, while the large-screen variant could be called the X500 Pro Max.

The X500 Pro Max is also expected to feature a 6.9-inch (or 6.85-inch) display, a Dimensity 9600 Pro chip, and a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel LOFIC primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

A recent leak revealed the display sizes of the upcoming Vivo X500 series models. While the lineup is expected to include a compact and a large-sized flagship, the brand is also said to be considering adding a mid-sized flagship equipped with a 6.59-inch display. In a new leak, tipster Smart Pikachu has shared details about what appears to be the Vivo X500 Pro Max.

Vivo X500 Pro Max details leaked

According to the leak, the Vivo X500 series will be offered in two display size options, including 6.4-inch and 6.9-inch variants. The leak suggests that the latter could be called the Vivo X500 Max.

This Pro Max variant is reportedly being tested with a 50-megapixel LOFIC primary camera. For those unfamiliar, LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) is a sensor technology designed to prevent pixel overexposure in bright environments by storing overflow electrons in a capacitor, significantly improving dynamic range.

The camera setup on the Vivo X500 Pro Max is also said to include a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. The leak further claims that Vivo is evaluating the inclusion of a multispectral sensor to improve color accuracy and white balance. While the leak does not specifically mention it, the setup may also include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera.

According to other reports, the Vivo X500 could be powered by the Dimensity 9600 chipset, while the Vivo X600 Pro Max may feature the Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset. Speculation suggests that the standard Dimensity 9600 could be a 3nm chip based on an enhanced version of the existing Dimensity 9500+ architecture. Meanwhile, the Pro variant is tipped to feature a newer 2nm-class architecture with a dual ultra-core setup and clock speeds approaching 5GHz for significantly improved performance and power efficiency.

As for the launch timeline, the Vivo X500 series may debut in China in September this year. The same event is also expected to see the arrival of the company’s first vlogging camera.

While Vivo is busy expanding the global availability of the Vivo X300 Ultra and Vivo X300 FE, leaks suggest that the company is already preparing the upcoming Vivo X500 series for the Chinese market. Interestingly, reports claim the company may skip the X400 branding entirely due to the number four being considered an unlucky symbol in some Asian markets. The upcoming lineup is also expected to become the first to feature MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity 9-series flagship chipsets.

Vivo X500 series display sizes tipped

According to a new leak shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, Vivo could introduce three different display sizes for the X500 lineup this year. The leak mentions a 6.37-inch 1.5K flat display with LTPO technology, a larger 6.85-inch 2K LTPO flat panel, and a 6.59-inch 1.5K LTPS flat display that is reportedly still under evaluation.

Likely, the LTPO panels could be reserved for the Pro models in the lineup, while the LTPS panel may appear on the standard variant. Therefore, the compact 6.37-inch screen could belong to the Vivo X500 Pro, while the larger 6.85-inch display may power the Vivo X500 Pro Max. The remaining 6.59-inch panel could potentially be used for the Vivo X500 Pro. However, the final naming strategy for the lineup has not yet been confirmed.

The Vivo X500 lineup is also expected to feature upcoming flagship chipsets from MediaTek. Reports claim that the standard Vivo X500 could be powered by the Dimensity 9600 chipset, while the Pro and Pro Max variants may arrive with the more powerful Dimensity 9600 Pro processor.

Apart from these models, Vivo is also expected to expand the lineup next year with the Vivo X500 Ultra and Vivo X500s for the Chinese market. Reports suggest that the X500 Ultra could arrive as the ultimate flagship powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, while the X500s may launch as an upgraded version of the standard X500 model during the first half of 2027.

The post Vivo X500, X500 Pro, X500 Pro Max display sizes seemingly revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 18 series in the same month as the first phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in China. On the other hand, Vivo introduced the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro as the world’s first phones featuring the Dimensity 9500 chip in China. It appears both brands could once again be among the first to launch flagship phones equipped with next-generation flagship chipsets this year.

September launch window and chipset plans

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, new smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series and the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 series are currently scheduled for a September debut. Interestingly, the tip suggests that brands planning to introduce these next-generation chipsets are preparing to offer three versions as standard practice, namely a regular model, a Pro variant, and a Pro Max edition.

To recall, the Xiaomi 17 lineup, which debuted in September 2025, included three models: Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. These models are likely to be succeeded by the Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max in the same month this year.

While Vivo announced the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro in September last year, it appears that this year’s lineup may launch earlier and is likely to include three models, such as the Vivo X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. Rumors suggest that the X400 branding may be skipped, as the number 4 is considered an unlucky number in some Asian countries.

Readers should note that the tipster has not specified any device names in the leak. The Oppo Find X10 series is also expected to include the Find X10, X10 Pro, and X10 Pro Max powered by the Dimensity 9600. So, it remains unclear whether the tipster was referring to Oppo or Vivo as the other brand alongside Xiaomi. However, in recent years, Vivo has often been the first brand to launch MediaTek’s latest flagship chipsets, so the second brand mentioned in the leak could be Vivo. Readers are advised to treat this information cautiously.

In today’s leak, DCS also cautions that the company expected to debut the new chip in September is unlikely to ship its device with the SM8975, also referred to as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, as a standard configuration. The reason cited is the extremely high cost of the 2nm chipset, which could significantly impact pricing.

Here, the tipster may be suggesting that Xiaomi will not launch a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro-powered phone in September. Previous leaks have claimed that this chip is designed for ultra-premium devices and is likely to power the Xiaomi 18 Ultra, which may debut by the end of this year in China.
