vivo will launch the X500 series in India on November 26, 2026, at 12 PM IST. The company’s India launch page confirms the date and highlights ZEISS camera features and separately sold telephoto accessories. India pricing and sale dates have not been announced on the page.
In its launch-date announcement, vivo names the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max, with the Watch GT2 smartwatch also due at the event. The current official India launch page focuses on the two Pro phones.
Camera features and optional accessories
vivo is positioning the Pro Max around telephoto photography and video, including autofocus tracking for moving subjects. The company says the X500 Pro offers flagship imaging in a more compact design. These are launch claims, not camera findings from a Tech Raman review.
The India page lists the ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra as exclusive to the X500 Pro Max, while the Gen 2 extender is compatible with the X500 series. Both are sold separately. The Pro Max Photographer Kit is also model-specific.
There is an India-specific accessory caveat: vivo says the Imaging Grip Kit’s built-in battery powers the grip itself and cannot charge the phone in India. Buyers should not read the kit’s battery as extra phone battery capacity.
Battery details confirmed for the Pro models
The India page lists typical battery capacities of 7,800 mAh for the X500 Pro Max and 6,510 mAh for the X500 Pro. It also describes up to 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging under supported conditions. Actual charging power varies with temperature and usage; the wireless figure requires compatible charging equipment.
vivo’s announcement describes a 2.07-inch display and claimed battery life of up to 25 days for the Watch GT2. Full India pricing, watch battery-test conditions and sale details were not included in the launch-date email.
The November 26 event should provide the missing local prices, variants and availability. For now, this is an India launch-date announcement, not confirmation that the phones or watch are on sale.
