vivo X500 5G technical sheet
On sale since September 24, the vivo X500 5G suits people looking for a capable all-round phone who can accept a heavier-than-average build: it weighs 213 g. In return, it combines a fast, bright display with a large battery and a versatile camera setup.
The 6.59″ AMOLED display refreshes at 144 Hz, faster than most phones of its time, and reaches 4000 nits peak brightness, also higher than most. Its performance hardware is among the best of its time. With 12 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, it offers more than most phones launched around the same time; storage uses UFS 4.1, but cannot be expanded.
The camera setup is among the best of its time. The main camera's 1/1.28″ sensor is among the largest, and optical image stabilization is included. Its 3x optical zoom is better than that of most phones of its time, with an ultrawide camera alongside it. The 7500 mAh battery and 90 W fast charging are better than those of most contemporaries, and wireless charging is rated at 40 W. Connectivity is better than most as well, with Wi-Fi 7, NFC and USB 3.2.
With a NeoScore of 8.5 and particularly strong specifications for the display, hardware, cameras and battery, the vivo X500 5G is a compelling fit for people who prioritize advanced features over a lighter phone.
