As reported earlier, Vivo may be preparing to bring its X500 flagship series to India later this month. A new leak suggests the lineup could launch on or around November 25, with the standard X500, X500 Pro and the new X500 Pro Max expected to arrive together.

The bigger news is the reported pricing. If the leak is accurate, the X500 range will sit firmly in the ultra-premium segment, where buyers also consider Apple’s iPhone Pro models and OPPO’s Find X-series phones.

vivo has not confirmed the launch date, Indian prices or final specifications yet. So, buyers should treat all the numbers below as leaks until the official announcement.

Leaked vivo X500 series India prices

According to a leak shared by tipster Sanju Choudhary and reported by 91mobiles, the vivo X500 series may be priced as follows in India.

• vivo X500 – 12GB RAM and 256GB storage @Rs. 1,19,999
• vivo X500 Pro – 12GB RAM and 256GB storage @Rs. 1,49,999
• vivo X500 Pro Max – 12GB RAM and 256GB storage @Rs. 1,59,999
• vivo X500 Pro Max – 12GB RAM and 512GB storage @Rs. 1,79,999
• vivo X500 Pro Max Master Set @Rs. 2,29,999

The Master Set is expected to include photography-focused accessories. Offline-store discounts have also been rumoured, although no offer has been confirmed by vivo.

The leaked starting price is far above the X300’s launch price in India. That means vivo will need to convince buyers that the newer display, battery and camera improvements are worth the steep jump.

Expected features and specifications

The standard vivo X500 is expected to feature a 6.59-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It may run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600M processor and carry a 7,500mAh battery with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.

For cameras, the X500 is expected to offer a 50MP Sony main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 64MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. This could make it a strong option for people who want a premium camera phone without choosing the biggest model.

The compact X500 Pro may get a 6.36-inch LTPO OLED screen, which can adjust its refresh rate to help save battery. It is expected to use the more powerful Dimensity 9600 Pro chip, a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera.

The X500 Pro Max is likely to be the headline device. Reports point to a large 6.85-inch 2K LTPO OLED display, Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset and a massive battery. Its Chinese version has an 8,000mAh battery, while the global version reportedly uses a 7,800mAh unit. Indian battery capacity has not been confirmed.

Its camera setup may include a 50MP Sony main camera, 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 200MP periscope telephoto camera with Zeiss optics. This camera is expected to be particularly useful for distant subjects such as wildlife, sports or stage performances.

vivo X500 series rivals

The X500 series will compete with the OPPO Find X10 range, iPhone 18 Pro series and Samsung Galaxy S-series flagships. The X500 Pro Max may appeal to camera-focused buyers who want a powerful zoom lens and a large battery.

However, the leaked prices put the phones close to well-established rivals. Buyers should wait for independent camera tests, final India specifications, exchange offers and service details before making a decision.
