Vivo X500 Series launches from RM4,699, features 200-megapixel camera and telephoto extender accessory

The Vivo X500 Series, described as imaging-oriented devices, integrates Zeiss co-engineered triple-camera systems across all models, alongside a 50-megapixel hole-punch selfie camera. The flagship X500 Pro Max features a 200-megapixel main telephoto shooter, a 50-megapixel wide-angle, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Both the main and wide cameras on all models include optical image stabilization (OIS).

A key distinction for the higher-end models is the support for external telephoto extender kits, intended for improved photography. The X500 Pro Max can utilize both the Vivo Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 and the Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra, which provide 200mm- and 400mm-equivalent focal lengths respectively. The X500 Pro, however, is limited to supporting only the 200mm-equivalent Gen 2 extender.

Beyond imaging, the devices offer varying specifications: the X500 Pro Max and Pro models are powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro processor, while the base X500 uses a MediaTek Dimensity 9600M. All models come with an under-screen fingerprint reader, 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, along with IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance.
