vivo X500 series officially announced for September release! Three models in total: X500, X500 Pro, X500 Pro Max

vivo product manager Han Boxiao announced that the all-new X500 series will officially debut in September.

The lineup includes three models: X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max.

He emphasized that the X series, long defined as the "professional imaging flagship," not only dominates photography and video but also leads in performance.

In terms of imaging, vivo aims to elevate smartphone video to a new dimension this generation—cinematic-grade video.

Making it the top choice for photography, and the only choice for video.

Han Boxiao stated that the new "Thanos 500" will deliver five major Thanos-level upgrades across video, photography, performance, display, and OS:

The first major upgrade is video.

Achieving cinematic video capabilities requires a cinematic-grade main camera. This time, the Pro series debuts the world's first "ZEISS Ultra Dynamic Main Camera," custom-developed exclusively by Blueprint x Sony, delivering an industry-leading 17EV dynamic range in actual output.

This isn't just a spec sheet figure—it achieves the dynamic range of professional cinema cameras.

In the past, high dynamic range was mostly reserved for photography, but vivo's Blueprint Light Control 900 sensor brings "clear in backlight" capability into the video domain, with every frame carrying 17EV of ultra-high dynamic range, realizing "clear in backlight, cinematic in every frame" in the video era.

Moreover, building on its powerful video capabilities, the Blueprint Light Control 900 also debuts support for 4K 240fps slow motion and 4K 120fps HDR direct output—features that gimbal cameras have or don't have, the X500 Pro series has them all.
