Vivo is preparing to introduce its X500 flagship smartphone lineup in India on November 26. The upcoming series will include three models: the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max. Alongside the smartphones, the company is also expected to introduce new camera accessories and a smartwatch.
While Vivo has confirmed the launch date, it has not yet announced the official prices of the devices. However, a fresh leak has revealed the alleged box maximum retail prices (MRP) of all three smartphones. These printed prices may differ from the actual selling prices available to customers.
Vivo X500 Series Box Prices Leaked
According to the leak, all three smartphones will be available in a 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration. The standard Vivo X500 is said to carry a box MRP of Rs. 1,69,999.
The Vivo X500 Pro could have a printed MRP of Rs. 1,99,999, while the premium Vivo X500 Pro Max is reportedly listed at Rs. 2,14,999.
The tipster also claims that the Vivo X500 Pro has the same box MRP as the Vivo X300 Ultra. However, these figures represent the printed maximum retail prices and do not necessarily indicate the final prices at which the smartphones will be sold.
Vivo X500, X500 Pro and Pro Max Expected Retail Prices
An earlier leak had suggested considerably lower expected retail prices for the upcoming smartphones.
According to the previous information, the Vivo X500 could be priced at Rs. 1,19,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. The Vivo X500 Pro was tipped to cost Rs. 1,49,999 for the same configuration.
The top-end Vivo X500 Pro Max was previously expected to start at Rs. 1,59,999. The device was also tipped to arrive in a 12GB RAM and 512GB storage variant, reportedly priced at Rs. 1,79,999.
These prices remain unofficial, and the difference between the leaked box MRPs and expected retail prices means buyers will have to wait for Vivo’s announcement.
Vivo X500 Series India Launch Date and Availability
Vivo has officially confirmed that the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max will launch in India on November 26. The smartphone lineup will be introduced alongside the Vivo Watch GT 2 and a Zeiss telephoto converter kit.
Following the launch, the smartphones will be available through the Vivo online store, Amazon and Flipkart.
The company is expected to reveal the official pricing, sale details and other specifications during the launch event. Until then, the leaked box prices and expected retail prices should be treated as unconfirmed information.
