IMEI listing points to a global Vivo X500 Ultra launch
A database listing suggests Vivo may sell the X500 Ultra outside China in 2027.
The listing is in the GSMA IMEI database, and the phone is expected to be a successor to the Vivo X300 Ultra.
A model number is also reportedly linked to a version for Latin America, including Brazil, under Vivo's Jovi brand.
The international launch has not been officially confirmed, and the phone’s hardware is still subject to change.
A leak says the main camera may use a 35mm-equivalent lens and a Sony sensor, while the telephoto camera may have a larger sensor than the X300 Ultra’s.
These camera details remain unconfirmed, and the reported main sensor may be smaller than the one in the X300 Ultra.
Vivo is expected to launch the phone in China in April 2027, but the timing and plans for other markets are not confirmed.
References to the Vivo X500 Ultra have appeared in the GSMA’s IMEI database, pointing to a possible global launch.
The listing identifies model V2660 as a reported global variant that could launch in Europe.
A separate model, J2613, is reportedly intended for Latin America, including Brazil, under Vivo’s Jovi brand.
The phone is expected to launch in China in April 2027, but Vivo has not officially confirmed an international release.
Leaked specifications suggest a 35mm-equivalent main camera, though the hardware has not been finalized.
