Capture a concert from the balcony, wildlife at the edge of the forest or architectural details high above the street with a level of sharpness you wouldn't expect from a phone. Vivo X500 Pro Max features a 200Mpx ZEISS APO telephoto lens with a large 1/1.4" sensor and an 85mm portrait focal length that focuses from just 15cm. The ZEISS TrueDynamic main camera features a Sony LYTIA 1/1.28" sensor and LOFIC technology to achieve a dynamic range of up to 17 EV. Sunsets and backlit portraits retain details in both highlights and shadows. View your results on the large 6.85" display with a resolution of 3168×1440 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. A 2nm MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset clocked at up to 4.55GHz delivers top-tier 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 bad weather.
The special Photographer Kit edition contains everything you need to shoot like a professional. The vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 teleconverter extends the focal length of the telephoto lens by 2.35 times to a 200mm equivalent, bringing a distant stage, athletes on the pitch or wildlife closer. Weighing just 153g, it is easy to carry around, and its premium silver finish elegantly matches the phone. The vivo Imaging Grip Kit with a wrist strap gives the phone a physical shutter button, zoom control and a secure grip just like a traditional camera. The package also includes an original vivo 90W charger so you can take advantage of the full charging speed.
The large screen brings out the fine details from the 200Mpx camera and makes scenes from your favourite movies pop. Vivo X500 Pro Max features a 6.85" AMOLED display with a crisp 3168×1440 resolution and 1.07 billion colours in the wide P3 gamut. Content in HDR10+, Dolby Vision and Netflix HDR looks vibrant with deep contrast. The adaptive 1 to 144Hz refresh rate ensures smooth motion while saving battery. A local peak brightness of up to 5000 nits keeps the screen perfectly readable even in direct sunlight, while 2160Hz PWM dimming with TÜV Rheinland Flicker-Free and SGS Low Blue Light certifications protects your eyes.
Scenes with extreme contrast between light and shadow put every camera to the test. Vivo X500 Pro Max handles them effortlessly thanks to its 50Mpx ZEISS TrueDynamic main camera with a 1/1.28" Sony LYTIA L910 sensor, developed in exclusive partnership between Vivo and Sony. LOFIC technology extends the dynamic range to up to 17 EV, ensuring that fireworks, lit stages and portraits against a setting sun retain detail across the entire scene. The 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.
The main camera is complemented by a telephoto lens that makes the Pro Max an exceptional tool for photographers. The 200Mpx ZEISS APO telephoto lens features a large 1/1.4" sensor and an 85mm focal length, which is ideal for portraits with natural proportions. Its high resolution lets you crop images later and still get sharp details of distant objects. Vivo X500 Pro Max focuses from just 15cm with the telephoto lens, making it perfect for impressive macro shots. Object tracking at 60 fps keeps fast action sharp on the sports field, Stage Mode 3.0 captures concert atmospheres from the crowd, and the ZEISS Telephoto Extender reaches up to a 200mm focal length.
Other cameras on the phone maintain 50Mpx quality, delivering consistent results at any angle. The 15mm ZEISS ultra-wide-angle 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 all your friends in, while autofocus ensures sharp selfies. Fine-tune your portraits with vivo colour Palette colour filters, and use the rear fill light when shooting video in the dark.
ZEISS cameras demonstrate their strengths in video recording too. Vivo X500 Pro Max records in up to 8K on both the main and telephoto lenses, and in 4K at 120 fps in 10-bit Log format for professional colour grading. Native 4K recording at 240 fps creates stunning 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 perfectly sharp. Cinematic colour mode adds a film-like look, and the Dual-View function lets you record yourself and the scene in front of you at the same time.
Snappy responsiveness, smooth gaming and instant photo processing start with the chipset. Vivo X500 Pro Max is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro, co-developed by Vivo and MediaTek using an advanced 2nm process. Eight cores clocked at up to 4.55GHz handle demanding games, video editing and multitasking with ease. The 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. Complemented by 12GB of fast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, apps launch instantly.
A large display and powerful cameras require plenty of energy, which this phone delivers effortlessly. Vivo X500 Pro Max features a dual-cell 6750mAh battery with smart power management to extend battery life. With 90W FlashCharge, you can power up from 1 to 100% in approximately 58 minutes. 40W wireless charging offers a convenient alternative. The phone can also charge headphones or other small devices via cable, ensuring you have power whether you spend your day in the office or on the road.

If you are switching from an iPhone, the Osmosis feature transfers your data with a single tap and helps connect your phone to Apple devices. Use the Origin Workbench desktop to group up to 4 apps for quick access, work in floating windows and drag and drop content between apps.
