vivo X500 Ultra triple-camera specifications revealed: 50MP + 50MP + 200MP.
The nickname “Thanos” originated from the vivo X100 Ultra. At the time, it was the strongest representative of Android imaging flagships for a long time after its release, thanks to its aggressive configuration of a one-inch main camera and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. Netizens used “Thanos” to describe its overwhelming advantage in imaging capabilities.
This title has thus been passed down, becoming a distinctive label for vivo’s ultra-high-end imaging models. According to the blogger Digital Chat Station, vivo’s next-generation imaging flagship, the X500 Ultra, will debut in the first half of 2027, continuing to carry the banner of “Imaging Thanos”.
The new phone features a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 200MP periscope telephoto lens. Based on leaks, the X500 Ultra’s strength lies in its telephoto capabilities.
The 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens offers higher resolution and outperforms traditional telephoto lenses in long-distance shooting, crop zoom, and detail retention.
Based on vivo’s product cycle in recent generations, it is highly likely that the jointly tuned and self-developed image chip will continue to be used, further enhancing color, low-light and video capabilities.
In terms of hardware configuration, the vivo X500 Ultra engineering sample features a large 2K flat screen and is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Super Supreme Edition flagship platform, making it the first 2nm Snapdragon flagship in the vivo X series.
What’s even more noteworthy is its market scarcity. Reports suggest that some Android brands will abandon iterations of their Ultra models in 2027, citing cost pressures and product line contraction as reasons.
While other brands are scaling back their ultra-high-end imaging product lines, the vivo X500 Ultra stands out as one of the few professional imaging flagships for next year. For users who pursue full-range shooting, the vivo X500 Ultra’s “Thanos” positioning is even more valuable, and it is one of the few Android high-end imaging models worth waiting for in 2027.
