vivo is expected to unveil the vivo X500, X500 Pro, and the X500 Pro Max in China later this year, likely around September. Ahead of the rumored launch, new details about the base X500 rear camera setup have now surfaced online.

Previous leaks suggest the vivo X500 will feature a 6.37-inch display, a 7,500mAh battery, and a MediaTek Dimensity 9500-series chipset.
The X500 lineup is also rumored to include an X500e model, which could debut alongside the flagship X500 Ultra early next year.
