Vivo has launched its X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max in global markets following their China debut last month. The lineup retains most of its original specifications, although the global Pro Max has a smaller battery. Prices vary by region, with the standard X500 limited to selected Southeast Asian markets.
Vivo has launched its X500 series in global markets, following its China debut last month. The lineup includes the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. However, the standard X500 will not reach every market, as some regions, including Europe, will miss out.
The standard X500 is available in selected Southeast Asian markets, including Malaysia. Its 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model costs MYR 4,699 ($1,149). Meanwhile, the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage variant is priced at MYR 5,299 ($1,296).
The phone retains the Chinese model’s specifications, including a MediaTek Dimensity 9600M chipset and a 6.58-inch AMOLED display. It also packs a 7,500mAh battery and three rear cameras. These include a 50MP main sensor, a 64MP telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultrawide camera.
The Vivo X500 Pro starts at MYR 5,699 ($1,394) in Malaysia for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration. In Europe, the same variant costs €1,299. The 512GB storage version carries a higher price of €1,449.
Like the Chinese version, the X500 Pro features MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset. It has a 6.39-inch LTPO AMOLED display and a 6,510mAh silicon-carbon battery. Its rear camera system includes a 50MP main camera, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultrawide sensor.
The X500 Pro Max also arrives in global markets, but with one notable hardware change. Its battery capacity has dropped to 7,800mAh, compared with the 8,000mAh cell in the Chinese version. However, all three phones support 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging.
In Malaysia, the X500 Pro Max starts at MYR 6,099 ($1,491) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model. The top-end photography kit costs MYR 9,699 ($2,372) and combines 16GB of RAM with 1TB of storage.
European buyers will pay €1,499 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. The price rises to €2,199 for the 1TB model bundled with the photography kit.
With this launch, Vivo has expanded its flagship X500 lineup beyond China while keeping most specifications unchanged. However, availability and pricing remain dependent on the market, and not every region will receive all three models.
