Vivo X500e Tipped to Feature Snapdragon Processor Ahead of Launch
The upcoming Vivo X500e has surfaced in a new leak, revealing several key specifications ahead of its official launch. According to reports, the smartphone could become the only model in the X500 lineup to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-series processor, while the other variants are expected to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 chipset. Although Vivo has not officially confirmed the details, the leak suggests the X500e will offer a unique combination of flagship performance and a compact design.
The device is rumored to feature a 6.59-inch display, making it smaller than many current flagship smartphones. The leak also indicates that Vivo may introduce a redesigned camera layout with a traditional top-left camera island instead of the large circular module expected on other X500 models. Despite the new design, the company is expected to continue its partnership with ZEISS for advanced imaging capabilities.

New Leak Suggests Vivo X500e Will Stand Out in Upcoming X500 Series
Camera performance is also expected to receive a major upgrade, with the Vivo X500e tipped to use Sony’s latest IMX 8-series image sensors, which are known for improved low-light photography, faster autofocus, and enhanced dynamic range. While the exact camera specifications remain undisclosed, the device is expected to deliver flagship-level photography despite being positioned as an entry-level model in the X500 series.
Current reports suggest Vivo could unveil the Dimensity 9600-powered X500 models around September, while the Snapdragon-powered X500e may arrive later alongside the Vivo X500 Ultra, which is rumored to feature Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset. However, all leaked specifications remain unofficial until Vivo makes a formal announcement.
