Vivo will launch the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max in India on 26 November 2026. The company confirmed the date on its official vivo India X account on 12 November, and the Vivo Watch GT 2 will be unveiled at the same event. Official Indian prices are not out yet.

What vivo has confirmed so far

The teaser vivo India posted is short, but it settles a few things. Here is what comes from the company itself, as reported by Beebom and Digit:

• Launch date: 26 November 2026. The launch time has not been shared yet.
• Models: vivo X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max.
• Smartwatch: the Vivo Watch GT 2 launches alongside the phones.
• ZEISS optics: all three phones carry ZEISS branded cameras, as on the X300 series.
• New red colour: the teaser video shows the base X500 in three colours, including a red finish that was not offered when the phone launched in China. Vivo has not said if the red model is exclusive to India.

Beebom also reports that vivo plans to sell an X500 Pro Max Photographer Kit and a vivo Imaging Grip Kit in India, along with a ZEISS telephoto extender marked “400mm equivalent”. Digit is more cautious and says the extender kits may debut with the phones. Treat the accessories as likely, not final.

Expected specifications

The standard X500 has been on sale in China since 24 September 2026, so its hardware is known. The Pro models launched in Europe on 27 October. Indian units are expected to carry the same core hardware, though vivo has not confirmed the Indian spec sheets yet.

In China, the X500 uses a 7,500mAh silicon carbon battery and a 5,000 nits peak brightness panel, with up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. Digit expects all three models to run OriginOS 7 based on Android 17 in India.

Expected price in India

Vivo has not announced prices. Tipster Sanju Choudhary has shared these figures on X, and they should be read as leaks until launch day:

• vivo X500 (12GB + 256GB): Rs 1,19,999
• vivo X500 Pro (12GB + 256GB): Rs 1,49,999
• vivo X500 Pro Max (12GB + 256GB): Rs 1,59,999
• vivo X500 Pro Max (12GB + 512GB): Rs 1,79,999

For context, the X500 starts at 5,499 yuan in China, which works out to roughly Rs 79,000. If the leaked Indian price holds, the base model would cost far more here than in its home market, which is unusual for vivo’s X series. The same tipster says sales could start on 2 December 2026. You can check vivo X500 listings on Amazon once they go live.

Vivo Watch GT 2: what to expect

Details on the watch are thin. Leaks point to a 2.07-inch display and up to 25 days of battery life. Vivo has only confirmed the name and the launch date so far.

How it fits the November flagship rush

The X500 series lands in a crowded month. Motorola has already launched the Signature 27, and OPPO’s Find X10 is on sale with bank offers. Camera hardware is where vivo wants to stand out, and the 200MP periscope on the Pro Max along with the external telephoto kit will be the main talking points on 26 November.

TechInformer will update this story with official prices, offers and sale details after the launch.
