Get ready to be blown away—Vivo’s latest midrange powerhouse, the Y500 Pro, is almost here, and the leaks are spilling all the beans before its official November 10 debut in China. But here’s where it gets controversial: With specs that rival some flagships, is this device truly a midrange contender, or is Vivo blurring the lines between categories? Let’s dive in.
The Vivo Y500 Pro (model V2516A) is shaping up to be a game-changer, boasting a stunning 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a crisp 2,800 x 1,260-pixel resolution and a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. This setup promises not just sharpness but also fluidity, making it a dream for gamers and binge-watchers alike. Under the hood, it packs MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400 chipset, paired with a whopping 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB. And this is the part most people miss: With this kind of hardware, multitasking won’t just be fast—it’ll be lightning-fast.
Battery life? Vivo’s got you covered with a massive 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery that supports 90W fast charging. Imagine going from zero to full in no time and staying unplugged for an entire day (or more). Plus, the IP68 and IP69 ratings mean this phone can handle dust, water, and whatever life throws at it. Running on OriginOS 6, the Y500 Pro promises a refreshed and intuitive software experience.
Now, let’s talk cameras—because this is where things get exciting. The 200MP main sensor, powered by Samsung’s ISOCELL HP5, is designed to capture photos with jaw-dropping detail and vibrancy. Paired with a 2MP depth sensor and a 32MP front camera, selfies and video calls will never be the same. But here’s a thought-provoking question: With such a high-resolution camera, are we reaching a point where smartphone photography rivals professional gear?
Design-wise, the Y500 Pro measures 160.23 x 74.51 x 7.81mm and weighs 198 grams, striking a perfect balance between slimness and a substantial in-hand feel. It’ll come in four eye-catching colors: Light Green, Titanium Black, Soft Pink, and Auspicious Cloud Gold. Official pricing and availability are expected next week, and Vivo fans in Pakistan won’t have to wait long after the China launch for updates.
So, what do you think? Is the Vivo Y500 Pro a midrange marvel or a flagship in disguise? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears!
