Further, the screen of the Vivo X500 Pro Max is said to support high-frequency PWM dimming. The display is said to feature a 2.5D flat screen. The tipster says that this is a 2K panel that refreshes at 144Hz.

Previous leaks claimed that the Vivo X500 Pro Max will come with a 50-megapixel primary camera with a Sony LYT-838 1/1.28-inch sensor. The camera setup could also include a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. It is likely to run on a MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro SoC. This phone could pack an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication.
