Which Vivo X500 Series Phones Are Coming to Europe?
Vivo introduced three smartphones in China: the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max.
However, the company’s European launch announcement specifically names the Pro and Pro Max models.
Vivo X500 Pro
The Vivo X500 Pro is the more compact flagship in the lineup. It features a 6.36-inch display and is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset.
The phone is designed for users who want flagship camera features in a relatively compact device. Its European launch is confirmed for October 27.
Vivo X500 Pro Max
The Vivo X500 Pro Max sits at the top of the series. It features a 6.85-inch 2K ZEISS Master Color display and a camera system built around Vivo’s latest imaging technology.
The phone also supports the ZEISS telephoto extender, which offers an equivalent focal length of 400mm. Like the Pro model, the Pro Max will arrive in Europe on October 27.
Vivo X500 Series Price and Availability
Vivo has not yet announced the official European prices for the X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max. More details about regional configurations, pricing and sales channels are expected at the October 27 event.
The company is also offering a registration voucher worth up to €120 for eligible buyers in supported European markets. The offer is subject to regional restrictions and terms.
For Indian buyers, the situation remains unclear. Vivo has not confirmed an India launch date or Indian pricing for the X500 series. Buyers in India will have to wait for an official announcement before making plans to purchase these phones locally.
What About the Standard Vivo X500?
The standard Vivo X500 has already launched in China alongside the Pro models. However, Vivo has not included it in the confirmed European launch lineup.
This means buyers waiting for the regular Vivo X500 in Europe may have to consider other options or wait for further updates from the company.
Vivo could announce additional regional availability later, but there is no confirmed information about that at the moment.
