In the exclusive report we shared a few days ago, we caught wind of the upcoming vivo X500 series and informed you that three different models in the series (vivo X500e, vivo X500, and vivo X500 Pro) had been listed in the GSMA IMEI database. After this leak, which sparked great curiosity in the smartphone world, vivo’s surprises for us apparently aren’t over yet. New GSMA records we found today confirm that a fourth and much more powerful model has been added to the series.

The New Peak Model of the vivo X500 Series: vivo X500 Pro Max

In our latest review of the GSMA IMEI database, we found the vivo X500 Pro Max, the fourth member of the vivo X500 family. As you can see in the screenshot above, the device has been officially registered by the manufacturer under the market name “X500 Pro Max.”

Where will this model fit into the series?

Until the vivo X500 Ultra is unveiled, the vivo X500 Pro Max will serve as the premium flagship model with the most advanced features in the vivo X500 family. The “Pro Max” designation is the clearest indication that vivo will push the boundaries in terms of camera and performance hardware.

Global Market Plans and Expectations

Undoubtedly, the topic users are most curious about is which regions the device will be available in. This listing in the GSMA database sheds light on vivo’s strategy in this regard. Just as we previously noted with the vivo X500e, X500, and X500 Pro models, the vivo X500 Pro Max is also expected to be released globally.

This development in the GSMA database clearly confirms the company’s plans to launch the phone worldwide. However, given the dynamic nature of the smartphone industry, we must remain open to all possibilities. If market expectations and conditions align with vivo’s plans, the vivo X500 Pro Max model will undoubtedly take its place on shelves globally alongside the other members of the series.

While the technical details of this powerful device which vivo plans to release before its “Ultra” model remain under wraps, it’s clear how much the brand aims to strengthen its competitive edge. We’ll continue to share new information and technical leaks about the vivo X500 series as they emerge. Stay tuned!
