Vivo Plans New Smartphone Launches Across Markets

The Vivo V80 is expected to include a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness, IP68 and IP69 dust- and water-resistance ratings, Android 17-based OriginOS 7, and a 50MP autofocus selfie camera.
Vivo says the V80 Lite 5G endured 32 hours and 37 minutes in a test that earned a Guinness World Records title for the longest electronic product testing livestream. Its 3.8K Ultra Large VC Cooling System reportedly has a 250% larger cooling area than the previous generation, while six-layer battery protection is designed to support battery health.
The Vivo X500 Pro Max is expected to have a flat rear panel, a centrally positioned circular Zeiss camera module, an action button, dual speakers and four color options. Its camera system may support 4K slow-motion recording at 240 frames per second, as well as 480fps and 960fps modes, and a Zeiss telephoto extender.
The suspected Vivo Y500k carries the same V2617A model number and PD2617 codename previously associated with the Y600i and Y600i AI Edition, strengthening reports that it could be a rebranded version. A Chinese 3C certification listing indicates 5G connectivity and support for up to 44W wired charging.
Vivo claims the V80 can provide up to two days of use for moderate users. Its 90W wired charging is expected to reach about 60% in 20 minutes and a full charge in under 50 minutes, although the phone is not expected to support wireless charging.
Vivo is rolling out new smartphones across multiple markets, starting with the camera-focused V80 in India on October 6. The phone packs a ZEISS-tuned triple-camera system with a 50MP telephoto lens, a 7,200mAh battery with 90W charging, and a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display. GizmoBlog reports the V80 will cost roughly Rs 55,000 to Rs 60,000 and ship with more than 30 AI photography effects.
Beyond India, Vivo has lined up launches in other regions: the V80 Lite 5G arrives in Singapore on September 26 with a massive 10,000mAh battery designed for hot climates, while the flagship X500 series debuts in China on September 21 led by the X500 Pro Max featuring a Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset.
The V80 stands out with its camera setup tuned by ZEISS, offering a 50MP telephoto lens alongside a triple-camera system. Gizbot confirms the phone ships with a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display hitting 6,000 nits of peak brightness, plus IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water protection. The display refreshes at 144Hz for smooth scrolling and gaming.
Battery life reaches up to two days for moderate users, FoneArena reports. The 90W charging hits 60 percent in 20 minutes and fully charges in under 50 minutes. The phone runs Android 17-based OriginOS 7 and includes a 50MP autofocus selfie camera, but skips wireless charging.
Vivo's September 26 Singapore launch of the V80 Lite 5G emphasizes endurance in hot climates. The phone houses a 10,000mAh battery—nearly 40 percent larger than the standard V80—paired with a 3.8K Ultra Large VC cooling system. 91mobiles notes the cooling area expanded 250 percent versus the prior generation.
The device earned a Guinness World Records title for the longest electronics livestream test at 32 hours and 37 minutes, demonstrating battery reliability. Six-layer battery protection safeguards the cell's health. Supports up to 44W wired charging and 5G connectivity according to 3C certification filings.
The X500 Pro Max debuts September 21 in China as Vivo's flagship, wielding a large ZEISS camera system and Dimensity 9600 Pro processor. KheljA indicates the phone features an 8,000mAh battery, a flat rear panel, and a centrally positioned circular camera module. Four color options are planned.
Camera capabilities impress with 4K slow-motion recording at 240 frames per second plus 480fps and 960fps modes. A ZEISS telephoto extender extends zoom reach. Vivo may also release the Y500k, suspected to be a rebranded Y600i with 5G and 44W charging support, though details remain sparse.
