Vivo X500 Pro Max to Feature a Major Camera Upgrade
According to a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), Vivo is testing the X500 Pro Max with a new imaging system. Leaks indicate the inclusion of a 50-megapixel Sony LOFIC primary camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor.
The Vivo X500 Pro Max is expected to sport a triple-rear-camera setup, potentially including a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Additionally, a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera—featuring a 1/1.4-inch sensor and an 85mm focal length—may be included. The tipster also claims that the telephoto camera will support high-quality telephoto macro photography. Leaks further suggest that Vivo is testing an improved optical image stabilisation (OIS) lens. Previous reports suggest that the Vivo X500 Pro Max could be powered by MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset.
