Vivo is currently focused on expanding the global rollout of its Vivo X300 Ultra and Vivo X300 FE, but leaks indicate that the company has already started working on its next flagship lineup — the Vivo X500 Series — for the Chinese market. Interestingly, reports suggest that Vivo might skip the X400 branding altogether, as the number four is often considered unlucky in certain Asian regions.
Vivo X500 Series Display Sizes (Leaked)
A recent leak from tipster Digital Chat Station hints at multiple display configurations for the Vivo X500 lineup. As per the information shared, the company could introduce three different screen sizes across the series.
One of the models is said to feature a 6.37-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution and LTPO technology. Another variant could come equipped with a larger 6.85-inch LTPO flat panel offering 2K resolution. Additionally, a third model is tipped to include a 6.59-inch flat LTPS display with 1.5K resolution, which is reportedly still under evaluation.
Based on these details, it is speculated that LTPO panels may be reserved for higher-end variants, while the LTPS display could be used in the standard model. The 6.37-inch screen is expected to be part of one of the Pro variants, while the larger 6.85-inch display could be featured on the top-end Vivo X500 Pro Max. However, Vivo has not confirmed the final naming or positioning of these models.
Expected Chipsets and Performance
The Vivo X500 Series is also expected to debut with next-generation flagship processors from MediaTek. Reports indicate that the standard Vivo X500 may be powered by the Dimensity 9600 chipset. Meanwhile, the Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max are likely to feature the more advanced Dimensity 9600 Pro processor.
These chipsets are expected to bring improvements in performance and efficiency compared to the previous generation.
More Models Could Arrive Later
Apart from the initial lineup, Vivo is also tipped to expand the X500 Series further in the future. Reports suggest that the company could introduce additional models such as the Vivo X500 Ultra and Vivo X500s in the Chinese market.
The Vivo X500 Ultra is expected to arrive as a top-tier flagship, potentially powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset. Meanwhile, the Vivo X500s could debut as an upgraded version of the standard model, possibly launching in the first half of 2027.
As of now, Vivo has not officially revealed any details about the Vivo X500 Series, but leaks indicate that the lineup could bring notable upgrades in both display technology and performance.
