Design Differences Between X500 and Pro Models
According to Digital Chat Station, the Vivo X500 Pro series will feature a centered, large circular camera module on the rear.
The Pro models are expected to come in two screen sizes, approximately 6.37 inches and 6.85 inches, with extremely narrow bezels on all sides.
The displays will reportedly have larger corner radii for a more comfortable look and feel.
The standard Vivo X500, however, is said to take a different approach.

It could feature a large circular camera module positioned in the upper-left corner instead of the centered design expected on the Pro models.
The phone is also tipped to have a roughly 6.59-inch flat display, placing it between the two rumored Pro screen sizes.
Performance and Display Specifications
The standard Vivo X500 is rumored to debut with MediaTek's Dimensity 9600, while the X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max could use the higher-end Dimensity 9600 Pro.

The series is also expected to offer displays with 1.5K or 2K resolution and refresh rates of up to 144Hz.
For photography, the Pro models are tipped to feature a 50-megapixel Sony main camera with LOFIC technology.
This technology is designed to improve dynamic range, helping preserve more detail in challenging lighting conditions such as backlit scenes and night photography.
