Vivo continues to share details about the X500 series, which it will introduce in China on September 21. After recently showing the design of the X500 Pro Max, the company this time announced what the standard model of the series, Vivo X500, will look like. The shared images show that the phone will be significantly different from its predecessor, Vivo X300, especially in terms of its back design. While the changes made in the camera department are the most striking innovation in the appearance of the X500, Vivo also confirmed the color options that will be offered for the device. Thus, important details regarding the design of the standard model became clear before the launch on September 21.
Vivo X500 has a large and circular camera module on the back. However, this module is shifted to the left instead of being placed in the center of the phone. The LED flash is also positioned outside the circular area. All camera components are located on a raised rectangular platform extending from one edge to the other on the back of the phone. This layout differs from the rear panel design used in the X300 and gives the X500 an appearance that can be easily distinguished from other members of the series.
Vivo X500 will benefit from X300 Pro in camera features
In addition to the design changes, the first information about the camera hardware has also been shared by Vivo. The company confirmed that the standard X500 model will use the same main camera and telephoto camera sensors as the Vivo X300 Pro. Details about the resolution of the sensors, lens features or optical zoom capacity have not been disclosed yet. Despite this, the transfer of the two main camera sensors used in the Pro model to the standard X500 shows that the difference in imaging hardware between the two devices may be limited in some areas. Whether the camera software, image processor and other auxiliary sensors will be the same will be decisive when evaluating the photo performance of the phone.
Vivo is preparing four different color options for the X500. The phone will be available in black, light gray and light pink colors. In addition, there will be a fourth option with a gradient surface that switches between colors. This model differs from the other three simpler-looking colors especially with its rear panel coating. The options shared by the company reveal that the X500 will be offered in different finishes that will appeal to both those who prefer more classic colors and those who want a more eye-catching phone.
Another striking point in the design of the X500 is that Vivo has not made the models in the series into versions of different sizes that look almost identical to each other. It is noticeably different from the standard X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max in terms of rear camera placement. However, the wide rectangular camera platform and the circular module placed on it make the rear appear denser compared to the previous model. Therefore, how the new layout will be received by users will be affected not only by technical features but also by personal design preferences. This structure may be less attractive, especially for users who do not like large camera protrusions.
The official launch of the Vivo X500 series will be held in China on September 21. Although camera sensors, design and color options have been confirmed for the standard X500, all basic hardware details such as processor, display, battery capacity and charging features have not yet been announced. There is also no confirmed information in the source text regarding pricing and sales plans for markets outside China. Despite this, the first details shared show that Vivo does not position the standard X500 only as a simpler derivative of the X500 Pro and Pro Max, but also creates clear distinctions between the models in terms of design.
