Vivo X500 Pro Max mobile phone with 200Mpx ZEISS telephoto lens and 6.85" display
Capture a concert from the balcony, wildlife at the edge of the woods, or the fine details of a facade high above the street with a level of sharpness you would never expect from a phone. The Vivo X500 Pro Max relies on a 200Mpx ZEISS APO telephoto lens featuring a large 1/1.4" sensor and an 85mm portrait focal length that focuses from as close as 15cm. The main ZEISS TrueDynamic camera, equipped with a 1/1.28" Sony LYTIA sensor and LOFIC technology, achieves a dynamic range of up to 17 EV. This ensures both sunsets and backlit portraits preserve exquisite detail in both highlights and shadows. Enjoy your results on a large 6.85" display boasting a 3168×1440 resolution and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. A 2nm MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset clocked at up to 4.55GHz delivers outstanding performance. The 6750mAh battery charges fully in approximately 58 minutes with 90W charging. IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance give you peace of mind on the go and in harsh weather.

The large screen makes details from the 200Mpx camera and scenes from your favourite films stand out beautifully. Vivo X500 Pro Max features a 6.85" AMOLED display with a razor-sharp 3168×1440 resolution and 1.07 billion colours in the wide P3 gamut.

A local peak brightness of up to 5000 nits keeps the screen perfectly readable even in direct sunlight. To protect your eyes, the display includes 2160Hz PWM dimming with TÜV Rheinland Flicker-Free and SGS Low Blue Light certifications.
ZEISS TrueDynamic main camera with LOFIC technology
Scenes with extreme contrast between light and shadow put any camera to the test. Vivo X500 Pro Max handles them effortlessly thanks to its 50Mpx ZEISS TrueDynamic main camera, which features a 1/1.28" Sony LYTIA L910 sensor developed in an exclusive partnership between Vivo and Sony. LOFIC technology extends the dynamic range up to 17 EV. Fireworks, an illuminated stage, or a portrait against a setting sun therefore retain details across the entire scene. An f/1.57 aperture lets in plenty of light even at night, while optical image stabilisation keeps shots sharp when you are on the move.
200Mpx ZEISS APO telephoto lens for stunning details near and far
A telephoto lens complements the main camera, making the Pro Max model an exceptional tool for photographers. The 200Mpx ZEISS APO telephoto lens uses a large 1/1.4" sensor and an 85mm focal length, which is ideal for portraits with natural proportions. Thanks to the high resolution, you can crop your photos and still get sharp details of distant subjects. Vivo X500 Pro Max also focuses from just 15cm with the telephoto lens, allowing you to capture impressive macro shots. Object tracking at 60 fps keeps fast-paced action on the sports field sharp, while Stage Mode 3.0 captures the atmosphere of a concert from the crowd. Reach up to a 200mm focal length using the ZEISS Telephoto Extender.
Ultra-wide camera, 50Mpx front camera, and personalised portraits
The other cameras also deliver 50Mpx quality, ensuring consistent results from every angle. The 15mm ZEISS ultra-wide camera with autofocus captures vast landscapes or architecture, focusing from as close as 3.5cm. The Vivo X500 Pro Max front camera features a 92° field of view to easily fit the whole group into the frame, while autofocus ensures sharp selfies. Fine-tune your portraits using the vivo colour Palette colour filters, and use the rear fill light to help when shooting video in the dark.
8K video and cinematic modes directly in the camera app
The ZEISS cameras showcase their true power during video recording. Vivo X500 Pro Max records in up to 8K on both the main and telephoto cameras, and in 4K at 120 frames per second in 10-bit Log format for professional colour grading. Native 4K recording at 240 frames per second creates spectacular 8× slow-motion footage of fast-paced action. The 4K Golden Hour Portrait Video mode preserves the warm light of a sunset while keeping the subject in sharp focus. Cinematic colour mode adds a movie-like look, and the Dual-View feature lets you record yourself and the scene in front of you at the same time.
Custom Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset with AI at its core
Snappy response times, smooth gaming, and instant photo processing all start with the chipset. Vivo X500 Pro Max is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro, built on a cutting-edge 2nm process in a joint collaboration between Vivo and MediaTek. Its eight cores, clocked at up to 4.55GHz, handle demanding games, video editing, and multitasking with ease. A dual NPU processes AI tasks directly on the device and works alongside vivo imaging technology to power advanced features like 4K Golden Hour portrait video or 60 fps object tracking. Combined with 12GB of fast LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage, apps launch instantly.
6750mAh dual-cell battery with charging in around 58 minutes
A large display and powerful cameras require plenty of energy, which this phone delivers effortlessly. Vivo X500 Pro Max features a 6750mAh dual-cell battery with intelligent power management to extend battery life. With 90W FlashCharge, you can charge from 1 to 100% in approximately 58 minutes, while 40W wireless charging offers a convenient alternative. The phone can also charge your headphones or other small devices using a cable, ensuring you have power whether you spend the day in the office or on the road.
