vivo Y500 Pro key specs ahead of launch

vivo Y500 Pro: specs spill ahead of the November 10 China launch

vivo has stepped up its teaser campaign for the Y500 Pro, and a detailed Weibo post plus a China Telecom listing have effectively laid out the phone before the curtain rises. The Y500 Pro, model V2516A, looks set to be one of the most intriguing battery-first midrangers of the season, pairing a sharp high refresh AMOLED with a massive next-gen cell and headline camera hardware.

Front and center is a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel pushing a 2,800 x 1,260 resolution, often called 1.5K, with a 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and gaming. Expect crisp text, finer icon edges than standard 1080p, and fluid animations that should pair well with vivo’s UI flourishes.

Inside, MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400 handles compute duties, backed by 12 GB of RAM and storage options of 256 GB or 512 GB. That combo aims to balance day-to-day efficiency with enough headroom for heavier apps, extended social video binges, and sustained multitasking without frequent reloads.

The showstopper is power. vivo fits a 7,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, a chemistry designed for higher energy density than conventional graphite packs. Coupled with 90 W wired charging, the Y500 Pro promises long stretches between top-ups and comparatively brisk refills when you finally need the cable. Despite the capacity, the chassis stays reasonably trim at 160.23 x 74.51 x 7.81 mm and 198 g, an impressive balancing act for pocketability.

Durability gets unusual attention for the class. IP68 means dust tight and survival in fresh water immersion, while IP69 adds resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, a rating typically seen on ruggedized gear. Software duties fall to OriginOS 6 in China, with the usual deep customization and animation toolkit vivo users expect.

Imaging headlines with a 200 MP main camera using Samsung’s ISOCELL HP5 sensor, positioning the phone for high-detail daylight shots and flexible pixel-binning strategies for low light. Supporting it is a 2 MP depth helper for portrait separation. Up front, a 32 MP selfie camera sits in a centered punch-hole.

Colorways include Light Green, Titanium Black, Soft Pink, and the eye-catching Auspicious Cloud Gold, giving both understated and expressive options. As a whole, the spec sheet suggests a battery endurance champion that does not skimp on display quality or ingress protection. If pricing lands competitively on November 10 in China, the Y500 Pro could become a reference pick for users who value longevity, fast charging, and a no-nonsense camera setup over flashy extras.
