Editorial report

vivo X500 Pro Max 5G technical sheet

On sale since September 24, the vivo X500 Pro Max 5G suits buyers looking for a fully equipped high-end phone who can accept one clear trade-off: at 229 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time. Its priorities are the display, cameras, and battery rather than a light build.

The 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED display reaches 144 Hz and 4400 nits peak brightness. Both its refresh rate and brightness are better than those of most phones launched around the same time. Its 1440 × 3168 px resolution and 507 ppi density are also among the best display specifications of its time. The fingerprint reader sits under the display.

Performance and hardware are among the best of its time. The phone has 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage, with no expandable storage. Its camera specifications are also among the best: the main camera has a 1/1.28″ sensor, optical image stabilization, and an f/1.6 aperture; the periscope telephoto camera provides 3.5x optical zoom. Video recording reaches 8K at 30 fps.

Its 8000 mAh battery and 90 W charging are better than those of most phones of its time, and wireless charging reaches 40 W. Connectivity is also among the best, with 5G, Wi-Fi 7, NFC, and satellite connectivity. Its overall NeoScore is 9.0. This is a strong fit for buyers who put high-end display, camera, battery, and connectivity specifications ahead of a lighter phone.
