While Vivo is busy expanding the global availability of the Vivo X300 Ultra and Vivo X300 FE, leaks suggest that the company is already preparing the upcoming Vivo X500 series for the Chinese market. Interestingly, reports claim the company may skip the X400 branding entirely due to the number four being considered an unlucky symbol in some Asian markets. The upcoming lineup is also expected to become the first to feature MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity 9-series flagship chipsets.

Vivo X500 series display sizes tipped

Vivo X500 series display sizes tipped by DCS

According to a new leak shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, Vivo could introduce three different display sizes for the X500 lineup this year. The leak mentions a 6.37-inch 1.5K flat display with LTPO technology, a larger 6.85-inch 2K LTPO flat panel, and a 6.59-inch 1.5K LTPS flat display that is reportedly still under evaluation.

Likely, the LTPO panels could be reserved for the Pro models in the lineup, while the LTPS panel may appear on the standard variant. Therefore, the compact 6.37-inch screen could belong to the Vivo X500 Pro, while the larger 6.85-inch display may power the Vivo X500 Pro Max. The remaining 6.59-inch panel could potentially be used for the Vivo X500 Pro. However, the final naming strategy for the lineup has not yet been confirmed.

The Vivo X500 lineup is also expected to feature upcoming flagship chipsets from MediaTek. Reports claim that the standard Vivo X500 could be powered by the Dimensity 9600 chipset, while the Pro and Pro Max variants may arrive with the more powerful Dimensity 9600 Pro processor.

Apart from these models, Vivo is also expected to expand the lineup next year with the Vivo X500 Ultra and Vivo X500s for the Chinese market. Reports suggest that the X500 Ultra could arrive as the ultimate flagship powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, while the X500s may launch as an upgraded version of the standard X500 model during the first half of 2027.
