The Vivo X500e specs have surfaced online for the first time, giving smartphone fans an early look at what could be the next compact premium device in Vivo’s upcoming Vivo X500 lineup. According to a new leak, the Vivo X500e may arrive with a Snapdragon 8-series chipset, ZEISS-tuned cameras, and a fresh camera design that sets it apart from the rest of the series.
Reports suggest the Vivo X500 family will include four models: Vivo X500e, Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro (or Pro Mini), and Vivo X500 Pro Max. While the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max are expected to use MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600-series processors, the X500e could take a different approach with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-series chip.
Vivo X500e Specs Leaked
The latest leak highlights several key Vivo X500e specs, although the company has not confirmed any details yet.
Expected specifications include:
- 6.59 inch compact display
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-series processor
- ZEISS-tuned rear cameras
- Square camera module placed in the top left corner
- IMX8-series periscope telephoto camera
- Large camera sensor for improved zoom performance

One of the biggest design changes could be the square-shaped camera island. Unlike the other Vivo X500 models, which are rumored to feature circular camera modules, the X500e may adopt a unique square camera layout. The inclusion of ZEISS optics also suggests Vivo will continue focusing on premium camera performance.
Launch Timeline And X500 FE Rumours
The leak does not reveal an official launch date for the Vivo X500e. The rest of the Vivo X500 series is expected to debut around September with Dimensity 9600-series chipsets. However, because the X500e is tipped to use a Snapdragon 8-series processor, it may launch separately.
Current rumours suggest the Vivo X500e could arrive alongside the Vivo X500 Ultra, which is expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset. If accurate, both smartphones may debut during the first half of 2027.
Another interesting development is the future of the Vivo X500 FE. Last year’s Vivo X300 FE was based on the China-exclusive Vivo S50 Pro Mini. However, Vivo recently introduced the Vivo S60 and Vivo S60e in China without launching an S60 Pro Mini. This has led to speculation that the Vivo X500e may replace that model in China and could also launch globally, making the X500 FE unnecessary.
Since Vivo has not officially confirmed any of these details, readers should treat the leaked Vivo X500e specs and launch plans as early rumours until further announcements are made.
