The Vivo X500 Pro launched alongside two siblings, the Vivo X500 and the Vivo X500 Pro Max, and it’s packing a 6.36-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED screen, MediaTek’s 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro chip, a ZEISS-tuned 50MP LOFIC main camera with a 64MP telephoto, and a 6,510mAh battery. Here’s a closer look at everything the phone offers, plus what it might cost in Nepal.

Vivo X500 Pro Overview

Design and Display

The Vivo X500 Pro keeps things compact, measuring 151.8 x 71.9 x 8.1mm and weighing between 192 and 197 grams depending on the finish chosen. It comes with a glass front and aluminum frame, wrapped in a Tidal Cold-Carved Glass texture, and carries both IP68 and IP69 durability ratings for protection against dust, water, and even high-pressure jets.

Up front sits a 6.36-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a sharp 2660 x 1216 resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate that should make scrolling and gaming feel noticeably fluid. The panel also supports 1B colors, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, with brightness peaking at 4,500 nits, which should keep the screen readable even under harsh outdoor sunlight.

Performance

Power comes from MediaTek’s brand-new Dimensity 9600 Pro, made on a 2nm process, which generally means better battery efficiency without giving up performance. Vivo paired it with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and buyers can pick storage up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 depending on how much space they need.

Gamers get Vivo’s Monster Super Core Engine, built to keep frame rates steady during longer sessions, plus support for frame interpolation and ray tracing where games allow it. Software-wise, it runs OriginOS 7 on top of Android 17, and Vivo says it’ll push five years of major OS updates, which is a decent stretch of long-term support.

Camera

Photography remains the centerpiece of the X500 series, and this generation brings a genuine upgrade. The main sensor is a custom 50MP Sony LYTIA L910 developed with ZEISS, featuring a 1/1.28-inch size, f/1.57 aperture, and Vivo’s first use of LOFIC technology on an X-series phone. This helps the sensor handle scenes with extreme brightness differences far more gracefully, with Vivo claiming up to 17 stops of dynamic range, useful for backlit shots or scenes with harsh contrast.

The ultrawide uses a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, good for close-ups as well as wider landscape and group shots, while selfies are handled by a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 front camera. The telephoto is a 64MP ZEISS APO lens with 3.5x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom, and it can also focus as close as 18cm for detailed macro shots. An optional ZEISS Telephoto Extender G2 accessory can stretch the effective focal length out to around 200mm for those who need extra reach.

On video, the X500 Pro supports up to 8K at 30fps, 4K at up to 240fps, 4K 120fps 10-bit LOG, Dolby Vision HDR, and Vivo’s own True Dynamic Log mode for more editing flexibility. Slow motion goes further with native 4K at 240fps, and interpolated 4K modes reaching 480fps and 960fps for extreme slow-motion footage.

Rounding things out, Vivo has added creator-focused tools like 4K 120fps subject tracking, Movie Mode, and Movie Workshop, giving the camera setup a genuinely versatile feel for both photography and video work.

Battery and Connectivity

Battery capacity lands at 6,510mAh, matching what several flagship-class Vivo phones have offered in recent years, and it charges at 90W over wire or 40W wirelessly, getting a good portion of the battery topped up in well under an hour on either method. Reverse wired and wireless charging are also on board, so the phone can double as a power source for earbuds, a smartwatch, or even another handset in a pinch, a feature that tends to come in handy while traveling or during long days away from a charger.

On the connectivity side, the X500 Pro includes 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4/6.0, along with a full satellite positioning suite covering GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, and NavIC for accurate location tracking across regions. It also comes with an infrared port for controlling home appliances, dual Nano-SIM support, NFC for contactless payments, and USB Type-C 3.2 with OTG support, while security is handled through a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor along with face unlock.
