Vivo is gearing up to launch its next flagship smartphone series in India, the Vivo X500. The lineup is expected to include three models, including the standard X500, X500 Pro and the new X500 Pro Max. Until now, we didn’t really have any reports of a launch date. But that has changed. Read on.

Vivo X500 series India launch date and expected prices
According to tipster Sanju Choudhary, Vivo could launch the X500 series in India on November 26. The smartphones are reportedly expected to go on sale from December 2. Vivo did confirm earlier that the lineup is coming to India, but it did not announce an official launch date. So, it is best to treat this information with a pinch of salt.
The tipster has also shared the expected prices of all three smartphones. The standard Vivo X500 is tipped to cost Rs 1,19,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. Meanwhile, the Vivo X500 Pro could be priced at Rs 1,49,999 for the same configuration.
The Vivo X500 Pro Max is expected to start at Rs 1,59,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. There could also be a 12GB RAM and 512GB storage option priced at Rs 1,79,999. Interestingly, the Pro Max could also get a Master Set priced at Rs 2,29,999, which is expected to include bundled accessories.
The tipster also says that customers could get exclusive discounts at offline stores. However, details about these offers are not available yet.
If these prices turn out to be true, the X500 series will be much more expensive than the previous X300 lineup. For comparison, the Vivo X300 was launched at Rs 75,999, while the X300 Pro started at Rs 1,09,999.
Vivo X500 Pro Max could get a 200MP camera
Among the three models, the Vivo X500 Pro Max is expected to be the most interesting option for photography enthusiasts. The smartphone is tipped to feature a 200MP periscope camera and support the Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra.
The accessory reportedly offers a 400mm-equivalent focal length, which should help users capture subjects from much farther away. However, buyers may have to purchase the telephoto extender separately, so the overall cost could be higher.
The standard Vivo X500 could be a more affordable option for people who want a premium flagship without spending close to Rs 1.5 lakh. The X500 Pro, meanwhile, sits between the standard and Pro Max models in terms of expected pricing.
Vivo Watch GT 2 could offer 25 days of battery life
Apart from the smartphones, Vivo is also expected to launch the Watch GT 2 in India alongside the X500 series. According to Sanju Choudhary, the smartwatch could feature a 2.07-inch AMOLED display with up to 2,400 nits of peak brightness. It is also tipped to arrive in Black and Off White colour options.
Battery life could be a major highlight of the upcoming smartwatch. The Vivo Watch GT 2 is tipped to offer up to 25 days of battery life. For reference, the China variant comes with a 695mAh battery on the Bluetooth model and a 595mAh battery on the eSIM variant.
Vivo has also teased Zeiss telephoto extenders for the Indian market. We will hear more details about their availability and pricing at the time of launch.
