Evidence-based overview

Y500s technical sheet

The vivo Y500s is built around a 7,200 mAh Si-Carbon Li-Ion battery with 44 W fast charging and reverse charging. The battery is non-removable, and the documented specifications do not provide a measured endurance figure, so capacity alone should not be treated as a promise of runtime. The phone weighs 219 g and is 8.4 mm thick. Its listed resistance ratings are IP68 and IP69, with a stated waterproof depth of 1.5 m.

Its 6.75-inch IPS LCD has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 1,200-nit peak brightness. Curved glass and scratch resistance are also listed. Resolution is 720 × 1,570 px at 256 ppi, which is a meaningful limitation for buyers who prioritize high pixel density. The core hardware combines Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage up to 512 GB. Storage is not expandable. The recorded AnTuTu v10 score is 456,552; this is documented evidence, not a NeoTeo test.

The 50 MP rear main camera uses an f/1.8 aperture, records 1080p at 30 fps and offers digital image stabilization, but no optical image stabilization. The 8 MP front camera also records 1080p at 30 fps. 5G, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, stereo speakers, dual Nano-SIM support and Android 16 broaden the feature set. Google services are not included, however, so app compatibility should be checked before purchase.

Highlights

  • 17,200 mAh battery with 44 W fast charging and reverse charging.
  • 2120 Hz display with 1,200-nit peak brightness and scratch-resistant glass.
  • 3IP68 and IP69 resistance ratings with a stated waterproof depth of 1.5 m.
  • 4Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, 12 GB LPDDR5X RAM, up to 512 GB UFS 3.1 storage and 5G.

Things to consider

  • 1The 6.75-inch IPS LCD display has only 720 × 1,570 px and 256 ppi.
  • 2The battery is non-removable and fast charging is rated at 44 W.
  • 3Google services are not included, and storage cannot be expanded.
  • 4Bluetooth is version 4.2, while USB uses USB 2.0.
