Editorial report

vivo Y500 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The vivo Y500 suits buyers who want a large, exceptionally bright display and a high-capacity battery. Its main trade-off is the camera: the 50 MP main sensor has no optical stabilization, while the configuration shown has 128 GB with no expandable storage.

Its 6.83-inch AMOLED display reaches 5,000 nits and 450 ppi. Brightness is among the highest of its time, and pixel density is better than most phones launched around the same time; the 90.3% usable surface also makes good use of the front. The 8,100 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, although 44 W charging is typical.

Android 16 with Google Services, 5G, dual SIM, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and stereo speakers cover the essentials. The phone is sold from 8 GB / 128 GB up to 12 GB / 512 GB, but this international configuration is 8 GB / 128 GB. The display is better than most phones of its time, while performance, photos, battery and connectivity are typical overall. With a NeoScore of 6.1, the vivo Y500 is best suited to buyers who prioritize screen brightness and battery capacity.
