Introduction
Vivo is reshuffling its X series this year, and the X500 Pro marks a significant departure from last year’s X300 Pro.
Instead of directly succeeding the X300 Pro, the new model takes the Pro branding into compact flagship territory. The role of the larger, camera-centric flagship now falls to the X500 Pro Max, which we’ve already reviewed. It’s a notable change in strategy, but one that makes sense when you consider that the X500 Pro is now competing more directly with the likes of the Apple iPhone 18 Pro.
The 6.36-inch display puts the X500 Pro firmly in compact flagship territory, at least by modern standards. The conventional aspect ratio also means you’re getting a familiar form factor rather than an unusually tall or narrow device.
The body measures 151.8 x 71.9 x 8.1 mm and weighs either 192 or 197 grams, depending on the back material. So while the X500 Pro is certainly on the smaller side for a modern flagship, it’s not particularly lightweight. There’s still some heft to it, and it feels substantial in the hand.
