A 400mm camera add-on and 4K/240fps video make this Pro Max flagship a seri

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Vivo has launched the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max, with the Pro models pushing hard into professional mobile video.
• The X500 Pro Max headlines the lineup with 17EV Log video, 4K/240fps recording, a 200MP ZEISS telephoto camera, and an optional 400mm-equivalent extender.
• Sales begin in China on September 24, but global pricing and availability details are still unconfirmed.

Vivo has spent the past few generations turning its X-series phones into some of the most ambitious camera phones on the market. The X300 Pro impressed us with its photography chops, while the X300 Ultra pushed things even further with a huge 200MP main camera and an almost ridiculous 400mm lens attachment. With the new X500 series, vivo isn’t abandoning that formula. Instead, the company is stepping up its focus on video capture.

The X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max are now official in China, headlined by 17EV dynamic range, 4K/240fps recording, serious Log video tools, and — on the Pro Max — that gigantic ZEISS telephoto extender.
