vivo X500 potrebbe essere molto diverso da X500 Pro

For the next generation of flagships, the Chinese company would have chosen a completely different approach from the usual strategy. The pair of top-of-the-line models will see the addition of vivo X500 Pro Max, the true flagship model of the family.

However the changes will not be limited to technical and photographic ones: the standard phone of the series would have a different design from its bigger brothers, almost to firmly emphasize that they are different devices from one another.

Makeover for the vivo X500: here’s how the series’ smallest model should look in the new design

Fans of the classic aesthetic of the X series may have a lot to complain about: the usual central circular island that characterizes the lineup would be exclusive to the vivo X500 Pro and Pro Max.

The base version vivo X500 should change its look by introducing a circular camera module placed in the top-left corner of the chassis. Consequently, the island should be smaller than usual.

Come cambieranno display e SoC

The smartphone would have, for its part, a flat screen with a diagonal of 6.59″, and would be the mid-range model of the family (in terms of size). The role of the compact flagship would belong to X500 Pro with its 6.37″, while the Pro Max model would be the giant at 6.85″.

It would also change the heart of each device: the Dimensity 9600 Pro at 2 nm would be reserved for the higher-end siblings, while the vivo X500 would have the Dimensity 9000 on board in the vanilla version (manufactured at 3 nm). At the moment MediaTek has not yet confirmed the new SoCs, so it will be necessary to wait at least until September.

Lancio anticipato per la serie

The current vivo X300 lineup was launched last October, at the beginning of the month in China and in Italy toward the end. This year there are rumors of an early debut, at least as far as the Chinese market is concerned: the launch event is expected to take place as early as September, a particularly busy period between Apple news and the Android world.
