Vivo X500 series will be launched in China earlier than its predecessor did last year, according to a report. The lineup is expected to initially include the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Pro Max, unlike last year’s Vivo X300 series, which initially comprised Vivo X300 and Vivo X300 Pro. The Vivo X500 Pro Max will reportedly be backed by an 8,000mAh battery, which could be the largest among the lot. Moreover, the Pro Max model will reportedly be powered by the unreleased octa core MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset, which could be built on a 2nm process, like Samsung’s Exynos 2600 SoC.
