Vivo has launched the Y500 Pro, bringing a series of upgrades alongside a few changes from its predecessor. With a more powerful processor, a higher resolution main camera, and enhanced durability, the Y500 Pro targets users seeking dependable performance and robust features, though it introduces a slower storage option.
Design and Display
The Y500 Pro arrives with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display offering a 120Hz refresh rate. While this panel is slightly smaller than the previous model, it includes Diamond Shield glass for better protection against scratches and drops. The device is now heavier, but this change comes with added durability.
It has achieved both IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, and it is certified to meet national drop reliability standards. Buyers can choose from Auspicious Cloud, Light Green, Soft Powder, and Titanium Black finishes.
Internals and Software
Vivo has equipped the Y500 Pro with the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, delivering higher clock speeds compared to the Dimensity 7300 in the earlier model. The phone offers either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, with storage options going up to 512GB. However, the device now features UFS 2.2 storage, which is a step down from the UFS 3.1 found in its predecessor.
Cameras
The main camera system now features a 200MP sensor with a larger 1/1.56-inch sensor size, allowing for more detailed photos. The selfie camera remains unchanged at 32MP with an f/2.5 aperture, offering clear results for self-portraits and video calls.
Battery and Pricing
A significant upgrade for the Y500 Pro is the 7,000 mAh battery, which is 22% larger than before and supports 90W fast charging. Pricing for the Y500 Pro starts at $247 for the 8GB/128GB variant. The 8GB/256GB version is set at $274, the 12GB/256GB model is $316, while the highest 12GB/512GB option is available for $357.
