Vivo's upcoming X500 Pro Max may set a new benchmark for smartphone battery capacity.
A tipster claims the prototype is being tested with an 8,000mAh battery, though the final design is not yet complete.
The Vivo X500 series is expected to include three models: the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max.
The Pro Max edition would be a new addition, as the X300 lineup did not have one.
Display and chipset details
The Vivo X500 Pro Max is rumored to feature a 6.85-inch OLED display with 2K resolution.
It could be powered by a next-generation 2nm chipset, possibly the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro.
Other models in the series are also expected to use Dimensity 9600-series chipsets.
The Vivo X500 is tipped to have a 6.59-inch display, while the X500 Pro may come with a 6.37-inch panel.
Battery upgrades across the lineup
The leak aligns with reports that the entire X500 series will feature high-density batteries of 7,000mAh or more.
This would be a notable increase from the X300's 6,040mAh battery and the X300 Pro's 6,510mAh unit.
The recently launched X300s in China packs a 7,100mAh battery, indicating Vivo's push toward larger capacities.
The X500 Pro Max's potential 8,000mAh battery would be the largest in the series.
The new leak aligns with a recent report claiming that the entire X500 lineup will feature high-density 7,000mAh+ batteries.
This would mark a significant upgrade, considering that the Vivo X300 packs a 6,040mAh battery, while the X300 Pro houses a 6,510mAh unit.
The X300s, which debuted a few weeks ago in China, features a 6.78-inch display similar to the X300 Pro but packs a larger 7,100mAh battery.
