Evidence-based overview

Y500 technical sheet

The vivo Y500 centers on a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 1,260 × 2,800 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 5,000-nit peak brightness, HDR and Gorilla Glass. It runs Android 16 with Google Services and includes stereo speakers, NFC, 5G, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 and dual Nano-SIM support. The fingerprint reader sits under the display.

Its hardware uses the Unisoc T7300, Mali-G57 MP2 graphics, 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage up to 512GB. The documented AnTuTu result is 985,368 on v11; that is a benchmark figure, not a promise of identical performance in every task. Storage cannot be expanded.

The 8,100mAh Si-Carbon Li-Ion battery supports 44W fast charging, bypass charging and 44W wireless charging. No measured endurance figure is supplied, so capacity alone should not be treated as a runtime claim. The 210g body measures 163.7 × 76.2 × 8.2mm and lists IP68, IP69, MIL-STD-810H and water resistance to 1.5m.

The 50MP main camera records 4K at 30fps and includes RAW capture and Night Mode, but it has neither optical image stabilization nor optical zoom. The 32MP front camera records 1080p at 30fps. The Y500 therefore suits buyers who value a large display, high battery capacity, modern connectivity and documented protection, while accepting its weight, fixed storage and simpler camera hardware.

Highlights

  • 16.83-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 5,000-nit peak brightness.
  • 28,100mAh battery with 44W charging and bypass charging.
  • 3The specifications list IP68, IP69, MIL-STD-810H and water resistance to 1.5m.
  • 4Supports 5G, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and dual Nano-SIM.

Things to consider

  • 1Storage cannot be expanded.
  • 2The main camera has no optical stabilization or optical zoom.
  • 3Wireless charging is listed at 44W, but battery endurance is not documented.
