Vivo has started teasing its next-generation flagship ecosystem in India following its September debut in China. Pre-booking indications at offline retailers suggest an official launch around November 25, 2026, after all three smartphones in the range cleared Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification. The upcoming Indian release includes the flagship trio: the Vivo X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. To cater to different user needs, the lineup introduces three distinct tiers featuring BlueVolt batteries alongside 144Hz AMOLED displays.
The Vivo X500 Pro Max centers its imaging hardware on a 1/1.4-inch 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP0 sensor behind an 85mm-equivalent ZEISS APO periscope lens. Anchored by 3-degree gimbal-grade Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), it delivers low-light handheld telephoto performance and supports 4K recording at 240fps.
To push focal reach further, Vivo is bringing optional ZEISS Telephoto Extender hardware kits to India. These clip-on optical extenders convert the native telephoto output into 200mm and up to 400mm equivalent focal lengths for wildlife and sports photography.
Alongside the flagship smartphones, Vivo teased the vivo Watch GT 2 smartwatch. Designed as an all-day health companion, the smartwatch features a 2.07-inch rectangular AMOLED screen encased in a lightweight frame.
Battery endurance is rated for up to 25 to 33 days of continuous usage, depending on the power profile mode. For health tracking, the smartwatch includes 24/7 continuous heart rate monitoring, SpO2 blood oxygen tracking, sleep stage analysis, and altimeter/barometer integration. Connectivity features include independent GPS tracking, Bluetooth 5.4 calling, and BlueOS management.
