This comes shortly after the Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao revealed that the Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max will be capable of recording videos at up to 4K/240 fps. Moreover, the two smartphones will be able to capture 4K resolution video at 120 fps in HDR mode. The company executive further explained that Vivo is also employing frame interpolation technology to generate 4K/480 fps and 4K/960 fps slow-motion videos. Compared to its predecessor, this will be a notable upgrade, since it only supports up to 4K/120 fps video recording. The Pro Max model will also feature a 200-megapixel telephoto camera.

The upgraded panel is claimed to notably enhance scrolling performance, while also reducing motion blur by 93 percent compared to the BOE Q10 panel.

The flagship Vivo X500 Pro Max was recently spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking platform with the model number V2602DA. The handset will reportedly be powered by the unreleased octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset, delivering a peak clock speed of 4.55GHz, and paired with the Mali-G2-Ultra-NX MC12 GPU.
