Maker vivo is circling a new addition to its X500 line, the X500e, slated for a September launch. Leaked specs list a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor powering a 6.59‑inch display, while a 50 MP primary sensor on a 1/1.28‑inch format handles most photography. The device will run Android 14, Vivo's OriginOS skin, and supports fast charging up to 80W.

Rumors from Digital Chat Station on Weibo suggest the X500e may also be marketed as the S60 Pro, sharing identical hardware. The periscope lens is expected to be a 64 MP unit identical to the one found in the X500 Pro, boosting zoom capabilities. A 7,500 mAh battery promises multi‑day endurance despite the chipset. The battery’s capacity also enables the phone to sustain high refresh‑rate displays for extended sessions.

With a flagship SoC and a 7.5‑hour capacity battery, the X500e targets power users who demand high‑end performance without compromising stamina. If the dual‑branding strategy holds, consumers could see price competition between the X500e and S60 Pro, significantly pressuring global rivals in the premium Android segment to tighten specs or pricing.
