Evidence-based overview
vivo X500 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The vivo X500 suits buyers looking for an advanced display, a large battery, and versatile cameras; its main trade-off is that it has no Google Services. The 6.59″ AMOLED display combines a 144 Hz refresh rate, 459 ppi density, and 4000-nit peak brightness. Its refresh rate, pixel density, and brightness are better than those of most phones of its time, and the display stands among the best of phones launched around the same time.
The camera stands among the best of its time. The rear main camera's 1/1.28″ sensor is among the largest, and its f/1.69 aperture is among the brightest; the telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom, better than that of most phones of the period. Its 7500 mAh battery and 90 W wired charging are better than those of most phones launched around the same time. The 40 W wireless charging is also better than that of most.
Its hardware is better than that of most phones of its time, and its AnTuTu score is among the best. Connectivity is also better than most, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and satellite connectivity. This version pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the vivo X500 is also sold with 12 GB / 512 GB and 12 GB / 1 TB. Its overall NeoScore is 8.9. It is a strong fit for buyers prioritizing the display, cameras, and flexible charging, provided they can do without Google Services.
