The claim
vivo has a 'small s iteration' of the X500 series in testing with a 6.85-inch flat screen, 2K+ resolution, 144Hz and equal bezels, likely the X500s.
Why we rated it Rumor
Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, who has a good record on Chinese phones, described the engineering sample but did not name it; the X500s label is readers' and GSMArena's inference. The X300s launched with the X300 Ultra in March, so a spring 2027 debut alongside the X500 Ultra is a guess based on that pattern.
