Vivo X500 Ultra Leaks 200MP 35mm and 85mm Camera Options

3 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Jul 19

Summary

  • Digital Chat Station outlined multiple camera configurations under evaluation for Vivo’s X500 Ultra, centered on 35mm main and 85mm telephoto modules that could both remain at 200 megapixels.
  • For the 35mm main camera, Vivo is weighing a 50MP 1/1.28-inch LOFIC sensor with upgraded micro-gimbal stabilization against a 200MP 1/1.12-inch LOFIC option that would preserve size and resolution while boosting dynamic range.
  • The 85mm telephoto reportedly has three paths: a modest update with the current sensor size, a larger 200MP 1/1.3-inch sensor, or a more aggressive 200MP 1/1.12-inch sensor similar to the main camera.
  • Final specifications have not been locked in, but the leak suggests Vivo’s Ultra project is still advancing even as rising component costs threaten margins and have put some rival flagship camera-phone plans at risk.
