Vivo has officially introduced its latest photography-centric flagship, the Vivo X500 Pro, in China alongside the X500 and X500 Pro Max. Designed for high-end mobile imaging, the smartphone incorporates a ZEISS-co-engineered rear camera setup, a compact form factor, a sizeable battery, and an LTPO AMOLED high-refresh-rate display. It is also among the first smartphones equipped with MediaTek's new 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro processor. Here are the full specifications, features, and expected price in Nepal for the Vivo X500 Pro.
ZEISS-Backed Camera Setup and LOFIC Sensor
The imaging system remains the defining highlight of the Vivo X500 Pro. The rear module houses three autofocus-enabled cameras, with both the primary and telephoto lenses receiving Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The main camera features a custom 50MP Sony LYTIA L910 sensor developed in partnership with ZEISS. Measuring 1/1.28 inches with an f/1.57 aperture and 24mm equivalent focal length, it introduces LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) tech to the X-series, delivering up to 17 stops of dynamic range for high-contrast scenes.
Complementing the main lens is a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 ultrawide camera with an f/2.0 aperture for macro and landscape shots. For selfies, the device packs a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 front-facing camera with an f/2.0 aperture.
Telephoto Lens and Professional Video Features
For optical zoom, the X500 Pro uses a 64MP ZEISS APO super telephoto camera offering 3.5x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom. It features an 85mm equivalent focal length, f/2.52 aperture, OIS, and can focus as close as 18cm for detailed close-ups and portrait shots. Additionally, the phone supports the optional ZEISS Telephoto Extender G2 accessory, which boosts the effective focal length to around 200mm.
Videography tools are extensive: the phone records in up to 8K at 30fps and 4K at 30/60/120/240fps. Advanced recording modes include 4K 120fps 10-bit LOG, Dolby Vision HDR, True Dynamic Log mode, and slow-motion up to 960fps at 4K (using frame interpolation). Creative features like 4K 120fps subject tracking, Movie Mode, and Movie Workshop are built into the software.
2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro Performance
Powering the smartphone is MediaTek's flagship 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset, engineered to handle intense workloads, heavy multitasking, and demanding mobile games efficiently.
