Vivo to Launch X500 Series and Watch GT2 in India

Vivo will launch its flagship X500 smartphone series and the Watch GT2 wearable in India on November 26, 2026, at 12 PM local time. The X500 lineup includes three models: the standard X500, the compact X500 Pro, and the premium X500 Pro Max. Developed in collaboration with ZEISS, the series focuses on professional mobile photography and includes the X500 Pro Max Photographer Kit, an Imaging Grip Kit, and two ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 models with 200mm and 400mm options.

The Watch GT2 features a 2.07-inch display and a battery life rated for up to 25 days in India, an increase from the 14-to-17-day rating advertised in China. Technical specifications based on Chinese variants indicate the phones use MediaTek Dimensity 9600 series chipsets and batteries ranging from 7500mAh to 8000mAh.

Official pricing remains undisclosed, but leaked estimates vary significantly. Some reports suggest a retail range from Rs 1,19,999 for the X500 to Rs 1,59,999 for the X500 Pro Max. However, other leaked box prices suggest higher costs, with the X500 at ₹1,69,999 and the X500 Pro Max reaching ₹2,14,999. The devices will be available through Amazon, Flipkart, and Vivo's online store, with sales reportedly beginning December 2.
