Vivo X500 Ultra could arrive with the most impressive camera system ever seen on a smartphone

Following the releases of the X500 and its Pro siblings back in September, Vivo has its sights set on its actual flagship device for this generation—the X500 Ultra—soon. Details of the Vivo X500 Ultra have leaked over the past few weeks, with the latest now revealing key camera details of the phone.

As shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Vivo X500 Ultra is being readied with one of the most impressive camera arrays ever seen on a smartphone. The Vivo flagship is tipped to come equipped with the same LYT-L910 beneath both its main and ultra-wide-angle lenses. The 50 MP LYT-L910 is Sony's most premium sensor yet and offers integrated LOFIC technology, with a 1/1.28-inch physical size and 1.22µm pixels. It wouldn't be a first for Vivo either, as both the X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max already feature the sensor.

Quite interestingly, it appears Vivo will use an even larger sensor for zoom in the X500 Ultra. The source claims the company is testing an ISOCELL HPU for the flagship's telephoto lens, with that sensor being a 1/1.12-inch 200 MP one, potentially making it the largest telephoto camera ever seen on a smartphone.
