Vivo’s next camera flagship, the Vivo X500 Pro, is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about launches of the season, with pricing and full specs now surfacing well ahead of its India debut. Early listings peg it at around ₹1,04,990 for the top variant, positioning it squarely against Samsung and Apple’s current flagships.

Vivo X500 Pro: Expected Price and Specs
The X500 Pro is expected to lead with a massive 6.83-inch LTPO AMOLED display at a sharp 1440 x 3200 resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, leaks point to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 chipset paired with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage — no microSD expansion, in line with most 2026 flagships.
| Spec | Vivo X500 Pro (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.83″ LTPO AMOLED, 1440×3200, 120Hz |
| Chipset | MediaTek Dimensity 9600 |
| RAM / Storage | 16GB / 512GB |
| Rear Camera | 64MP telephoto + 50MP main + 50MP ultra-wide, OIS, 8K@30fps |
| Front Camera | 50MP |
| Battery | 7500mAh, 100W wired + 40W wireless charging |
| Expected India Price | ~₹1,04,990 |
The camera setup is the headline act here — a 64MP telephoto sits alongside a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide, all with optical stabilisation and 8K video capture, continuing Vivo’s push (alongside its Zeiss-tuned imaging pedigree) to out-camera the competition rather than out-spec it. A 7500mAh battery with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging also puts it ahead of most rivals on endurance.
How It Stacks Up
At its expected price, the X500 Pro would sit above Samsung’s recently launched Galaxy S26 FE, which starts at ₹79,999, and would compete more directly with ultra-premium flagships. It follows hot on the heels of the Vivo X500e leak and X300s specs reveal, rounding out what’s shaping up to be an unusually stacked X-series lineup — something we flagged in our roundup of September 2026’s biggest flagship launches.
Vivo hasn’t confirmed an official India launch date yet, though industry trackers currently list it as expected around early December 2026. As with most pre-launch leaks, final specs and pricing could shift before the official reveal.
