Vivo X500 Pro Leak Suggests Dimensity 9600 Chip and Upgraded Cameras

Vivo is said to be working on a new compact flagship smartphone that could debut later this year as part of its next-generation X-series lineup. Recent leaks suggest the device may arrive as either the Vivo X500 Pro or Vivo X500 Pro Mini, succeeding the current Vivo X300 series. The upcoming handset is expected to focus heavily on camera performance while also delivering flagship-grade hardware in a smaller form factor.

According to details shared by tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Vivo is reportedly testing a new Pro-series smartphone powered by MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600 chipset. The processor is said to be built on an advanced 2nm architecture, which could bring notable gains in efficiency and overall performance compared to previous generations.

The leak further reveals that the smartphone may feature a triple rear camera setup designed for premium photography. The primary camera is tipped to use a 50-megapixel sensor with a large 1/1.28-inch size and LOFIC technology, which is expected to improve image quality and dynamic range. Alongside it, the phone could include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera for wider shots and a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens offering around 3x optical zoom.

Although Vivo has not officially confirmed the device, the leaked specifications indicate the company may continue its focus on combining compact flagship designs with high-end imaging capabilities. More details regarding the Vivo X500 Pro lineup are expected to surface closer to its anticipated launch later this year.
