Vivo Y500 Pro launching soon as 'people's flagship' smartphone with 7,000 mAh battery and 200 MP camera
Vivo has just released the X300 and X300 Pro globally, having presented the pair that same month in China. Nonetheless, the company has already confirmed on Weibo that it has a new smartphone waiting in the wings. Rather than the rumoured S50 series, Vivo has decided to launch the Y500 Pro next week in its home market as a new 'people's little flagship'.
Specifically, Vivo will present the device on Monday, November 10. Ahead of its official release, Vivo has confirmed that the Y500 Pro will combine hardware like a 7,000 mAh battery and a 200 MP primary camera. For reference, the ISOCELL HP5 mentioned can already be found inside the Galaxy S25 Edge (curr. $644.99 on Amazon).
However, Vivo may complement this sensor with 2 MP auxiliary lenses rather than a dedicated ultra-wide-angle or telephoto camera. Regardless, the Y500 Pro is IP69 certified and is said to protect its 6.67-inch display with the same 'satin' anti-glare glass as Vivo's current flagship smartphones. Sporting OriginOS 6 out of the box, recent Geekbench listings indicate that the Y500 Pro will also feature a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset and 12 GB of RAM like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro and other competing devices.
