This telephoto camera also supports CIPA 5.5 stabilization, allows for 4K video recording at 120 fps, and supports the connection of an external teleconverter.

Furthermore, users can record 4K Live videos in cinematic mode using various color profiles. A dedicated Blueprint V3+ processor is installed for image processing, ensuring clearer and higher-quality photos.

The new model also demonstrates significant market competitiveness in terms of battery capacity. The device is equipped with an ultra-large 7500 mAh battery, supporting 90 W wired and 40 W wireless fast charging technologies. The chassis is fully protected against water and dust according to modern IP68 and IP69 standards.

The smartphone features a flat 6.59-inch LTPS display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. The hardware is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600M processor. The Vivo X500 is also the first device to run on the new OriginOS 7 operating system, with the company guaranteeing that its software will maintain its initial smoothness for six years.
