Singapore has welcomed the vivo X500 Series, comprising two flagship models: the X500 Pro Max and X500. The series pushes the boundaries of mobile imaging with an advanced ZEISS telephoto lens system.
The X500 Pro Max features a 200 MP ZEISS APO telephoto camera, paired with the 400 mm-equivalent vivo ZEISS telephoto extender Gen 2 Ultra for outstanding telephoto performance. Powered by the smoother, smarter experience of OriginOS 7 and the largest battery capacity ever offered in the X Series, the new lineup elevates the flagship smartphone experience to new heights.Next-level flagship imaging
Co-engineered with ZEISS, the X500 series combines vivo’s innovation with ZEISS’ expertise in imaging to deliver professional telephoto capabilities. The X500 Pro Max features a 200 MP ZEISS APO telephoto camera with a 1/1.4" ultra-sensing sensor HP0 and an 85 mm equivalent focal length. It incorporates CIPA 7.0 professional stabilisation, enabling longer handheld exposure times in low-light conditions while reducing motion blur.
Powered by the X-Track Engine, the X500 Pro Max delivers professional-grade subject tracking across both snapshot and video modes. Lock-On Subject Tracking keeps subjects sharply in focus, even when they move briefly out of the frame or become temporarily obstructed. The X500 Pro Max supports AF Tracking at up to 60 fps in Snapshot Mode, delivering smooth and responsive tracking performance.
The Super Snapshot Engine enhances long-range shooting capabilities, with 30x Long-Range Motion Snapshot on X500 Pro Max and 20x on X500 Pro. This makes it easier to capture fast-moving subjects from a distance with clarity and consistency. For video creation, 4K 120 fps Pro AF Tracking Video and Auto Framing Video further support precise subject tracking and framing.
For creators demanding even greater reach, X500 Pro Max supports the 400 mm-equivalent vivo ZEISS telephoto extender Gen 2 Ultra. Supporting more than 10 shooting modes, including Stage, Snapshot, and Pro, it gives creators greater flexibility when capturing distant subjects.
The X500 is designed as an everyday creative companion, combining a 72 mm equivalent ZEISS APO telephoto camera with a ZEISS Pro-Level Ultra-Sensing Camera featuring a 50 MP 1/1.28" sensor like the one used in the X300 Pro. For portrait enthusiasts, the all-new Cinematic Portrait optimises portrait lighting across daylight, dusk, and indoor environments, applying film-inspired styles to make it easy to capture natural-looking portraits anytime, anywhere. Taking portraiture a step further, vivo Color Palette offers granular control over tone, glow, and grain.
Cinematic excellence
X500 Pro Max feature imaging systems centre around a ZEISS TrueDynamic main camera, empowering professional creators to produce exceptional video content with rich details and dynamic range in challenging lighting conditions. The camera supports Cinematic Pro Log Video, capturing greater detail across highlights and shadows for cinematic visual latitude comparable to professional cinema cameras.
A dedicated log curve, specifically tuned to the camera’s 17 EV ultra-high dynamic range2, preserves rich detail and tonal gradation while providing professional creators with greater flexibility in post-production.
The main camera also debuts 4K Dolby Vision Portrait Video, bringing cinematic image quality and intelligent portrait enhancement to video. It preserves rich tonal depth and natural skin tones across complex lighting conditions, making it easy to capture stunning portrait videos against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset. The new 4K Cinematic Portrait Video mode offers a range of cinematic color styles, including the Sunny Day and Vibrant styles co-developed by vivo and ZEISS. Combined with ultra-high dynamic range, these styles deliver a classic cinematic look straight out of the camera.
For high-speed video capture, the ZEISS TrueDynamic main camera supports native 4K 240 fps High Frame Rate Video with extended recording time. Available in Video, Pro Video, and Slo-mo modes, it offers greater flexibility for slow-motion shooting and post-production, preserving fine detail and fluid motion even when capturing fast-moving subjects. Complementing this high-speed capture capability, X500 Pro Max features 3° Gimbal-Grade OIS, helping keep footage stable and smooth.
Meanwhile, the X500 series is an ideal companion for everyday content creation, offering versatile and effortless video capabilities. It supports Multi-Focal 4K 120 fps High-Spec Video and 4K Cinematic Color Video. With Film Style mode, it delivers a 2.4:1 aspect ratio and industry-leading film effects, including motion blur, halation, and grain, to faithfully recreate the distinctive look of film—enabling cinematic, atmospheric footage to be captured with a single tap. Stage Mode 3.0 features Auto Framing Fancam Video, 4K Dual-View Stage Video, 4K Stage All-in-One Recording, and Super Telephoto Stage Snapshot.
To further enable cinematic storytelling, the X500 series features enhanced 4K Cinematic Color Video, offering classic film-inspired colour styles including Paris Afterglow, Golden Hour, and Pastel, along with support for 4K recording. Additional creative tools in Movie Workshop on the X500 series bring greater versatility and creative possibilities. Auto Framing intelligently tracks subjects to keep them centred in the frame, while Vortex Shot enables ultra-steady 360° rotating shots with one tap.
OriginOS 7: Smoother, more connected, and smarter
The X500 Series runs on OriginOS 7, which provides smoothness, seamless cross-device connectivity, and AI-powered productivity. Origin Workbench enables seamless task switching with floating windows and drag-and-drop file transfers across apps, making complex workflows feel effortless. Origin Smooth Engine delivers fluid animations with interruptible interactions, making every swipe and tap feel instantly responsive. Powered by Ultra-Core Computing, Memory Fusion, and Dual Rendering, it is designed to maintain a consistently smooth experience over time.
One of the key highlights of OriginOS 7 is its enhanced cross-ecosystem connectivity, enabling seamless interoperability with Apple devices, including AirPods and Apple Watch, as well as connectivity with iCloud. For everyday sharing, Quick Share3 simplifies file transfers across devices, supporting interoperability with AirDrop, while Seamless Device Switch supports one-tap migration by transferring only essential information and excluding unnecessary cached data. For productivity and entertainment, vivo Office Kit facilitates collaboration between vivo smartphones and Mac computers through tools such as Jovi PC and Camera Sharing. It enhances productivity by providing convenient access to content and seamless continuity across devices. Together, these capabilities enable a more seamless cross-device workflow across multiple ecosystems, helping content creators stay connected and productive.
On the design front, OriginOS 7 offers a rich range of personalization features. Dynamic Translucent Material adds a distinctive visual aesthetic, while Wiggle (Boing) transforms static images into dynamic visuals. System-level StickIt extracts subjects from photos, allowing subjects to be placed anywhere for greater creative expression.
AI-powered productivity tools further simplify everyday tasks. Snap & Go intelligently recognizes information in screenshots, while AI Next Up turns recognised schedules into automatic reminders on the home screen. AI Recorder enhances recording with intelligent features, including speaker recognition, transcript outlining, transcript refinement, and smart summaries. Supporting six templates, such as Meeting Summary, Lecture Notes, and Interview Summary, it helps turn recorded conversations and content into clear, structured insights4.
