vivo’s upcoming X500 Ultra, slated for a Chinese unveiling in March or April next year, is already showing signs of a broader rollout. The device’s global model with model number V2660 appeared in a Turkish IMEI database, while the Brazilian Jovi variant (model J2613) was listed as well, indicating the phone will likely launch in both markets.
The X500 Ultra is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset and feature a flat 6.85-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED panel from BOE with a 144Hz refresh rate and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Its camera setup may include a 200MP periscope telephoto sensor housed in a larger 1/1.2‑inch module, a 50MP main camera with improved stabilization, and a battery sized between 7,000 mAh and 8,000 mAh, up from the X300 Ultra’s 6,600 mAh.
If the X300 Ultra’s trajectory is any guide, the X500 Ultra should follow a similar pattern: Chinese launch in early 2025, global rollout beginning a month later, and a Brazilian Jovi version arriving shortly thereafter. The exact global release date remains unconfirmed, but the IMEI discovery in Türkiye suggests the phone will be available worldwide soon after its domestic debut.
