TL; DR

vivo is planning at least six premium X-series smartphones in 2026, according to industry insider Yogesh Brar.
The lineup spans Ultra, FE-style, and next-gen models, covering both compact and large flagship formats.
These phones could include the already-launched X200T, and the upcoming X300 FE, X300 Ultra, X500, and the X500 Pro.

vivo is preparing for a busy year at the top end of its portfolio. According to a post shared by Yogesh Brar, the brand has at least six premium X-series phones lined up for 2026, marking one of its most aggressive flagship cycles so far.

Some of these devices are already out or recently introduced, including the vivo X300 (review), vivo X300 Pro (review), and the vivo X200T (or only the X200T if we count just the 2026 launches). These models establish the baseline for the year.

Still to come are five more additions. The most talked-about is the vivo X300 Ultra, which is expected early in the year. Leaks point to a dual 200 MP camera setup, including a 35mm main, 85mm periscope telephoto, a battery close to 7,000 mAh with 100W charging, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. A China launch is expected first, with wider global availability likely later.

Another near-term model is the vivo X300 FE, which appears positioned as a more compact and affordable flagship, a rebranded version of the vivo S50 Pro mini. The device will be one of the few X series flagships to feature a Qualcomm chipset, more specifically the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

Later in the year, vivo is expected to move on to the next generation with the vivo X500 and vivo X500 Pro. Reports suggest vivo is skipping the X400 name entirely. There is no solid information on these devices yet, as their launch is still some distance away, likely in late 2026.

Even then, the numbers still do not fully add up. One possibility is that vivo could launch a successor to the X200T within 2026 itself, which would bring the total count to six. Or, perhaps the X Fold6. For now, that remains speculation. Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
