Vivo's new X500 Pro Max flagship delivers advanced imaging capabilities with Sony's latest Lytia L910 sensor and 17 stops of dynamic range. The device also supports 4K slow-motion recording at 240 frames per second.

The X500 Pro Max marks a new premium tier in Vivo's X500 lineup, debuting in China with custom silicon from MediaTek and imaging technology from Sony. The Lytia L910 sensor features LOFIC technology, enabling the exceptional dynamic range and low-light performance. The slow-motion capability represents a significant upgrade in video recording for smartphone flagships. All three phones in the X500 series support Vivo's teleconverter lenses, allowing users to switch focal lengths without dedicated hardware. Vivo continues its established focus on photography as a key differentiator in the flagship smartphone market. The combination of advanced sensor technology and processing power positions the X500 Pro Max as a competitor to other imaging-focused flagship devices.
