Imagine that you're driving and you get a flat tire and need a spare. And right at that moment, you'll be able to use this detachable module, as long as your car has rims larger than 16". 🤣

If this is not fake to begin with, then these look like camera attachments and it seems Vivo experimented with different arrangements and even "camera island" designs. It probably stacks on top of the "normal camera island" either via magnets or with some sort of twist and lock mechanism. Either way I'm just guessing and it's most likely fake 😄

The camera specs on the 500 pro max aren't better than x300ultra ..so why the bigger camera bump? If you put 3x 1" inch Sensors then yes you are allowed to make the camera bump as big as you like but there is no reason now.. I guess I will stick with my x200ultra one more year

If they are going to make the camera island that big then they might as well make it detachable (imagine Xiaomi modular optical system)
rizki1, 17 hours agoVivo created an overpowered camera phone that people cannot afford to buy. Vivo has created problems for themselves by messing up camera with too much AI.
starphone, 18 hours agoThat's not a phone with a camera, it's a camera with a phone. I love it! Whatever it... moreVivo definitely has lost their way in 2026. Not a good camera in my opinion. Vivo X200 Pro and Ultra were better in my opinion.

We had ruggged phones for decades which are bigger thicker and people buying.
This phone is a beast or looks likes one.
Would be happy to have it.
To me it could be even bigger and thicker for more battery and more camera.
Always were looking for a by Turring made Monolith Chacconne in a modern style.
A best looking phone up to a date if we exclude Vertu.

Shamrock Sean, 17 hours agoThat's too bigJust for you and for few else as you.
For me is too small, for many like me is also too small.
Bigger is always better.
Trend with small phones should die 20 years ago.

rizki1, 17 hours agoVivo created an overpowered camera phone that people cannot afford to buy. Bro not true. There will be alway speople who can buy even 1000 of them easy.
Like you can always find people for whom even old fashioned Nokia for 10 bucks will be too expensive.
Phone manufacturer is not resposible for the fact people dont earn enough money.
If they can afford twice as much costly Apple, Google or Samsung with much worse specs they could buy this one too.
Its just a money a paper which everybody can always recycle.

PatrickCzech, 18 hours agoWow that is bulky. 😂For sake of best camera on market equipped ona phone many people will not care.
If someone makes Mark IV camera capabilities on a phone or A7 pro by Sony etc people will nopt care about bulky or not.
Real life cameras are bulky too people not care.
Cameras used for filming the Nonal Oddysey movie the IMAX Cameras are trully bulky ones with weight around 100 kilos and here we had the best and most revenue acclaimed movie of all the time.
I am not trying to say we should make a phone with Imax camera capabilities but even if phone will be 200 to 500mm thick for sake of having best possible cmaera and even with veight of 1-3 up to 5 kilos there will be plenty of people buying this.

Phones are not calling device anymore. Either they are camera or gaming device with call function. Instead of increasing the camera size on phone every year, they should just add Sim card tray to flagship camera like Sony, nikon, canon, that would be very useful and satisfying spending this much money.
