A note on the series

The plain X500 showed up on Geekbench with a different chipset from the Pro and Pro Max — vivo is splitting the line by processor, not only by camera. Do not buy an "X500" thinking it is a smaller Pro Max.

Why it matters

This is the matchup we have been waiting for: Dimensity 9600 Pro today versus Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 tomorrow. And if you want a telephoto that competes with the Fold 8 Ultra and iPhone 18 Pro Max for less money, the X500 Pro Max is the candidate — and TDRA certification says the Gulf version is not far off. Prices and the review as soon as the official numbers land.
