Vivo Y500 will be launched in China in the near future. The Chinese electronics brand has now shared a teaser on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging platform, that hints at the launch of the new Y series smartphone in the country. The upcoming Vivo Y500 is expected to come with upgrades over the Vivo Y400 5G, which was launched in India earlier this month with a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset and a 6,000mAh battery. Vivo has also revealed the design of the upcoming Y series handset.
Vivo on Weibo announced the arrival of the Vivo Y500. The post, however, does not specify the exact launch date and time of the phone. It is claimed to be a "long-lasting, durable and powerful handset". The teaser image shows the rear portion of the Vivo Y500. It is shown in a blue colour option with a centrally placed circular rear camera module.
It's worth noting that Vivo is scheduled to host a launch event in China on August 21 for its Vivo Vision mixed reality headset. The company's annual Imaging Festival is also set to take place on the same day.
The upcoming Vivo Y500 is expected to succeed last year's Vivo Y300 and this year's Vivo Y400 5G models.

It features a dual rear camera unit led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor and has an 8-megapixel front camera. It packs a 6,500mAh battery with 44W fast charging support.
