Vivo's X500 Pro series is set to revolutionize the smartphone market with its advanced 2nm MediaTek chipset, expected to be the Dimensity 9600 Pro. This chipset, built on TSMC’s second-generation 2nm N2P process, boasts an all-new GPU architecture and an ultra-high-performance NPU.1237

The 2nm MediaTek chipset includes a dedicated imaging chip that supports 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording, 60fps video autofocus tracking, and 4K Dolby Portrait video. It also features one-tap AI video highlight generation and hardware-level video super-resolution, enhancing the overall video recording experience.

The X500 Pro Max will feature a 6.85-inch BOE Q11 2K Zeiss Master Color panel, making it the first smartphone globally to utilize this specific display technology. Vivo claims that this new panel offers a 93 percent reduction in motion blur, 43 percent better color uniformity, and 22 percent improved brightness consistency compared to previous generations.
