Expected device specifications of the Vivo X500 Pro

A brief overview of the expected device specifications:

According to the recent leak, the Vivo X500 Pro is expected to pack a 6.37-inch 1.5K BOE screen. A 1.5K display can deliver high pixel density (430-450 ppi) for a superior viewing experience. It also draws much less power than QHD/2K screens and could also include features like low-brightness DC or PWM dimming for eye protection during extended phone use.

The smartphone is also rumored to deliver a 144 Hz refresh rate, a feature that can ensure smooth scrolling animations. A high refresh rate also ensures fluid on-screen motions that make high-paced actions look smooth, improving your gaming experience.

The X post also mentions that the X500 Pro is expected to pack ultra-thin LIPO bezels. Narrow bezels can increase your viewing field and also add to the premium look of your smartphone.

The recent leak also states that Vivo is planning to incorporate the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chipset into the X500 Pro. MediaTek is expected to use the TSMC 2nm process for this flagship-tier octa-core chipset, scheduled for a September 2026 launch. It is rumored to reach a boost speed of up to 5.0 GHz and is expected to pack the ray-tracing-enabled Magni GPU Architecture. This can easily match your graphical and gaming requirements.
