vivo's flagship X500 lineup is gearing up for its long-awaited arrival in India, and just ahead of the official announcement, a fresh leak has revealed how much the three premium smartphones could cost in the country.
The vivo X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max originally debuted in China in September, before rolling out to global markets last month. However, the trio has yet to officially land in India. That's expected to change shortly, with rumors pointing to a launch taking place toward the end of this month.
While fans wait for confirmation, a tipster on X has shared what are claimed to be the "tentative" launch prices for the Indian market. According to the leak, the standard vivo X500, packing 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, will allegedly retail for INR 119,999 (approximately $1,280). The X500 Pro, in the same configuration, is tipped to carry a price tag of INR 149,999 ($1,600), while the X500 Pro Max could start at INR 159,999 ($1,706).
Those wanting extra storage will reportedly have to pay INR 179,999 ($1,920) for the 512GB version of the X500 Pro Max, and a special "master set" edition of the Pro Max is said to command a staggering INR 229,999 ($2,453). As for colorways, the vanilla X500 is expected to arrive in black and red finishes, while the Pro and Pro Max models will be offered in orange and black. The tipster also mentions that exclusive offline discounts should help make these premium prices a bit easier to swallow. So, what's your verdict — are these prices too steep, or reasonable given the ongoing RAMpocalypse? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
