Dedicated microsites for the devices are currently live, confirming that the lineup includes the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Pro Max, all of which will go on sale across Amazon, Flipkart, and Vivo’s own online store. Details shared by the company indicate that the standard Vivo X500 will incorporate a floating camera module supported by Zeiss image tuning and AI-powered creativity tools, whereas the Pro and Pro Max variants will boast a triple rear camera setup housed in a circular deco, with the flagship Pro Max further offering Telephoto AF Tracking Video and a ZEISS TrueDynamic main sensor.
