If you think this is high, do note that the competition is already expensive. The OPPO Find X10, for instance, starts at Rs 1,39,999, while the Find X10 Pro Max costs Rs 1,99,999. The joke’s not on Apple anymore as the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max start pretty close at Rs 1,64,900 and Rs 1,79,900, respectively. This puts the X500 Pro Max’s tipped 256GB price below Apple’s Pro Max and OPPO’s top-end offering, although its 512GB variant matches the iPhone 18 Pro Max’s entry price.
Specifications and upgrades
The Vivo X500 series, which launched in China in September, brings substantial hardware upgrades in imaging and battery life. The standard model uses the Dimensity 9600M, while the Pro and Pro Max get the Dimensity 9600 Pro, built on a 2nm process. The Pro Max features a 200MP Zeiss APO periscope camera, alongside an 8,000mAh battery in its Chinese variant.
Vivo has also introduced 144Hz AMOLED displays, 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging across the lineup. The Pro Max supports 4K recording at up to 240fps, 8K video and a 400mm-equivalent Zeiss telephoto extender.
For existing X300 Pro owners, the new Pro Max’s camera and video upgrades may be worth considering, but the higher entry price makes a real-world camera comparison important before upgrading. Buyers should also wait for Vivo to confirm Indian specifications and pricing, as battery capacities can differ between regional variants.
