Vivo recently launched the X500 series in China and is set to introduce the devices to the European market on October 27. Ahead of this event, a new leak has surfaced detailing the expected prices for the X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max in Europe.
Availability of the X500 Series
Interestingly, it appears that the standard X500 model may not be making its way to Europe at this time. While there is a possibility of its release in the future, reliable sources suggest that it will not be available alongside its Pro counterparts. This means that consumers in Europe will initially have access only to the X500 Pro and the X500 Pro Max.
Pricing Details
According to the leaked information, the X500 Pro is expected to retail for approximately €1,399. This model will come equipped with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. However, details regarding additional configurations remain unclear at this point.
Color Options and Variants
In Europe, the X500 Pro will be available in two color variants: Moonlit Black and Sunny White. Meanwhile, the higher-end X500 Pro Max is rumored to be priced at €1,799, offering 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Customers will have the choice between Moonlit Black and Starry Gray for this model.
Photographer Kit Pricing
If you’re interested in the Pro Max version with the Photographer Kit, be prepared to spend €1,999. While this pricing information is yet to be officially confirmed, it aligns with earlier leaks regarding the pricing of competing models.
Comparative Pricing with Competitors
It’s worth noting that the pricing for the Vivo X500 Pro Max is quite comparable to that of Oppo's upcoming Find X10 Pro Max, which is also expected to launch in Europe around the same time. Both models are likely set at the same price point, with identical RAM and storage specifications. If these rumors hold true, both Vivo and Oppo’s flagship smartphones will be positioned approximately €50 cheaper than Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max with similar storage options.
This evolving landscape of smartphone pricing in the European market highlights the competitive nature of the industry, with brands striving to offer more value to consumers.
