Vivo Y500 launched with 6.77-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 7300 SoC, 8200mAh battery
Vivo has launched its latest samrtphone in the Y series, the Vivo Y500 in China, as previously announced. It features a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an 8MP punch-hole front camera. The device houses a 50MP primary camera paired with a 2MP secondary lens, while the front camera is a 32MP shooter.
Thanks to its semi-solid-state battery technology, the Y500 delivers outstanding endurance, including 16.7 hours of video playback at -20°C, 13 hours of continuous live streaming at 35°C, and 22 hours of outdoor use at 40°C. It is powered by a massive 8,200mAh ultra-thin Blue Ocean battery with an impressive energy density of 847Wh/L, supporting 90W fast charging and reverse wired charging.
For connectivity, it comes equipped with a 360° wall-penetrating antenna, improving signal reception by up to 255% over the previous generation. It also supports AI-driven network optimization, intelligently detecting weak spots such as elevators or basements and automatically switching to a stronger channel.
Durability is another highlight, with the phone offering vivo’s most advanced IP69+ water resistance, surviving 1.5 meters of submersion for 24 hours. It combines motherboard-level and internal waterproofing for enhanced protection.
The Y500 also adopts the Diamond Rock architecture, SGS-certified with a Gold Label Five-Star Drop and Fall Resistance. It has undergone five rigorous environmental durability tests, resulting in 47% better micro-drop resistance, 100% stronger compression and bending resistance, and 70% higher height drop resistance compared to its predecessor. Internal components are further safeguarded by motherboard-level shock absorption.
