Vivo X500s key specifications tipped: 2K+ 144Hz display, 64MP periscope telephoto and more

Vivo’s flagship X500 lineup features the standard X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. Another model could join the lineup, which is rumoured to be the Vivo X500s. It will most likely be offered as an affordable alternative to the flagship X500 lineup. This handset will also succeed the Vivo X300s, which debuted earlier this year in March. A new leak reveals key specifications of the X500s. Here’s what to expect.

Vivo X500s specifications (expected)

A new leak by tipster Digital Chat Station talks about an S-series flagship, believed to be the Vivo X500s. Going by this speculation, the Vivo X500s could feature a 6.85-inch 2K+ flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate and an LTPO panel. In comparison, the X500s would be slightly bigger than the X300s and have a higher resolution. It’s tipped to house a 64MP periscope telephoto lens, which would be an upgrade over the X300s’ 50MP camera.

The smartphone is also said to use the latest MediaTek Dimensity 9000 series chipset. This means that the X500s will deliver flagship performance. The Vivo X300s is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset.

According to the tipster, this smartphone is meant to offer an all-around large-screen flagship phone. So you’re essentially getting the same screen size as the Vivo X500 Pro Max and the same chipset as the flagship lineup. The camera specs might be toned down, but you’d still get a similar experience and, most likely, Zeiss optics.

Based on what has leaked so far, the Vivo X500s seems like a good option for buyers who want a large-screened flagship with good cameras and fast performance. If these are your requirements, the Vivo X500s could be worth waiting for. The Vivo X500s could also be offered as an affordable flagship for buyers who don’t want to pay a premium for the other X500 models. Since Vivo hasn’t officially teased the X500s yet, those in a hurry might want to go ahead with available options like the Vivo X300s.
