vivo today (10/30) officially launched its all-new flagship X500 series in Taiwan. Once again partnering with brand imaging ambassador Jay Chou, it centers on the theme “ZEISS Cinematic Feel · Boundless Creation” and brings all-new specification upgrades. The series focuses on an upgraded Blueprint dynamic imaging technology architecture, comprehensively pushing the limits of image quality in backlight, low-light, and telephoto shooting, while also introducing 4K 240fps cinematic slow-motion recording and Jay Chou’s exclusive “Sunny Day” filter, meeting the diverse needs of professional creators and everyday documentation.

Imaging core: Debuts Sony LYTIA L910 and 200MP Zeiss APO telephoto

The vivo X500 series shows real commitment in its hardware specs this time, with upgrades to top-tier configurations from the main camera all the way to the telephoto end:

• Self-developed imaging architecture and dual-chip
  The entire lineup introduces the “BluePrint Dynamic Imaging Technology Architecture” for the first time, deeply integrating the image sensor, the self-developed V3+ imaging chip (with the Pro series adding the VS1 chip and ultra-high-performance Imaging NPU 2.0), and algorithms, delivering a major upgrade in dynamic range.
  

• Flagship main camera
  All models come standard with the Sony co-defined LYTIA L910 sensor, featuring a 17EV ultra-high dynamic range and 0.75e⁻ ultra-low readout noise. The X500 Pro Max / Pro features a 50-megapixel ZEISS LOFIC main camera (1/1.28-inch, f/1.57); the X500 features a 50-megapixel ZEISS ultra-sensitive main camera (f/1.68).
  

• 200-megapixel concert gadget
  The top-tier X500 Pro Max features a 200MP ZEISS APO super telephoto lens (1/1.4-inch HP0 sensor, 85mm equivalent), with support for 1,536-point laser autofocus and 30x action capture. The X500 Pro / X500 respectively feature 85mm- and 72mm-equivalent ZEISS APO telephoto lenses.
  

• Add-on teleconverter and concert C-position locking.
  When paired with the G2 Ultra teleconverter, the Pro Max can extend its equivalent focal length to 400mm (the Pro/standard version can reach 200mm with the G2). With the all-new “C Position Lock” tracking technology and the Pro Max’s 3° gimbal-level optical image stabilization (the Pro series supports CIPA 7.0 stabilization), long-distance shooting stability is greatly improved.
  

Cinematic creation: 4K 240fps slow motion and Jay Chou’s exclusive “Sunny Day” filter

In addition to still photography, the X500 series also achieves significant breakthroughs in video recording:

• Extreme Slow Motion and Professional Workflow
  The X500 Pro Max and Pro support rare 4K 240fps cinematic slow-motion recording, and offer Log 10bit 4:2:2 output, the ACES Academy Color System, and official DaVinci color transforms, providing ample room for post-production color grading.
  

• Personalized style and camera movement
  Built-in rotating camera movement, a Jay Chou-exclusive “Sunny Day” filter, plus 8K native Live photos and 4K native cinematic Live let users capture cinematic-looking shots in one tap without complex editing.
  

Performance and battery life: Dimensity 9600 flagship platform, up to 7,800mAh Blue Ocean battery

While maintaining its slim, lightweight aesthetic, the X500 series also pushes beyond the limits in performance and battery life:

• Core performance
  The Pro Max and Pro are powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro flagship chips, while the standard model is powered by the Dimensity 9600M; they come preloaded with the all-new OriginOS 7 system and Atomic Workbench, and support up to a 144Hz screen refresh rate and eSIM functionality.
  

• Ultimate Battery Life and Protection
  The X500 Pro Max packs a 7,800mAh Blue Ocean battery into a slim body just 7.95mm thick (Midnight Black model) (the Pro has 6,510mAh and the X500 has 7,500mAh). The entire series supports 90W wired fast charging and 40W wireless fast charging, and features high-spec IP68 / IP69 dust and water resistance.
