Official: Cheaper Vivo X500 turns into a pro camera flagship

Sure, everything is getting more expensive, and the Vivo X500 Pro Max will probably cost more than the Vivo X300 Pro did last year. However, those who do not need on the greatest and latest technology will soon get somewhat pro quality at a somewhat lower price, at least from Vivo's X500 base model. This was suggested today by teasers from Chinese product manager Han Boxiao, who has been highly active on Weibo for days. Today, he revealed the first official specs for the entry-level X500 version, which is rumored to come with a redesign that you can see above based on these rumors. While the new Zeiss camera look with a somewhat smaller camera ring inside an increasingly popular camera plateau has not yet been officially confirmed, we now know what will be behind it.

As the main camera, Vivo is using a 1/1.28-inch sensorl for the first time. By comparison, the X300 features a 1/1.4-inch 200-megapixel sensor. Specifically, it is the same Sony Lytia-828 currently used in the Vivo X300 Pro, the CIPA 5.5 stabilization level also matches that of the current Pro model. The telephoto camera is being upgraded as well. The predecessor's 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera is being replaced by a 64-megapixel telephoto camera, the same one confirmed in the more compact Vivo X500 Pro, based on the Sony Lytia-610. It also reaches CIPA 5.5-level stabilization and supports the smaller 200 mm teleconverter. Last but not least, the Vivo X500 will support 4K120 video recording.
