Smartphone maker Vivo has officially confirmed that its next-generation X500 series will debut in India on November 26, 2026, arriving in the final week of the month alongside the new Vivo Watch GT 2 and a Zeiss telephoto converter kit. Ahead of the launch, dedicated microsites have gone live revealing that the lineup comprises the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Pro Max, which will all be available for purchase via Amazon, Flipkart, and the company’s official online store. According to official disclosures, the base Vivo X500 is designed with a floating camera module backed by Zeiss tuning and AI-powered creativity tools, while the higher-end Pro and Pro Max models feature a triple rear camera system arranged within a circular deco, with the top-tier Pro Max adding Telephoto AF Tracking Video and a ZEISS TrueDynamic main camera. In addition to the phones, the Vivo Watch GT 2 will arrive featuring a 2.07-inch Ultra-Vision display, always-on health monitoring, and an impressive claimed battery backup of up to 25 days. If the Indian models mirror their Chinese counterparts, the vanilla X500 will be driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chipset while the Pro and Pro Max models will utilize the 2nm octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro processor, paired with Android 17-based OriginOS and an 8,000mAh battery, while the Pro Max camera array will include a 50MP f/1.57 primary shooter, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 200MP telephoto camera, though exact Indian pricing remains under wraps until closer to the unveiling.
