Vivo is gearing up to introduce its newest X series lineup, the Vivo X500 series, into the Indian market during the last week of this month, with an official press release confirming the launch date for November 26, 2026. Alongside the smartphones, the brand will also unveil the Vivo Watch GT 2 and a dedicated Zeiss telephoto converter kit for Indian consumers, with dedicated microsites for the upcoming products already live. The X500 lineup will consist of three models—the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Pro Max—where the standard X500 features a floating camera module enhanced by Zeiss image tuning and AI-powered creativity tools, while the Pro and Pro Max variants house a triple rear camera setup inside a circular deco, and the flagship Pro Max exclusively gains Telephoto AF Tracking Video and a ZEISS TrueDynamic main shooter. Meanwhile, the accompanying Vivo Watch GT 2 will sport a 2.07-inch Ultra-Vision display with always-on monitoring and a claimed battery life of up to 25 days, with both the smartphones and the smartwatch set to retail through Amazon, Flipkart, and Vivo’s official online store. Looking at the hardware of the Chinese variants for reference, the Vivo X500 Pro and Pro Max are powered by the 2nm octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset, whereas the base X500 runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 processor, with the Pro Max featuring a 50MP main camera with an f/1.57 aperture, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 200MP telephoto sensor. Additionally, the X500 series devices come equipped with a massive 8,000mAh battery and run on Android 17-based OriginOS, though the official India pricing has not been announced yet and more details are expected ahead of the launch.
