Vivo X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max European Pricing, Specs, and October 27 Launch Details Revealed
European launch reveal €1,399 X500 Pro and €1,799 X500 Pro Max pricing, while the base X500 skips the initial rollout.
Following the Chinese debut of the Vivo X500 lineup last month, Vivo has confirmed that its official European launch event will take place on October 27. Ahead of the presentation, new leaked details from a reliable industry source have surfaced regarding European pricing, memory configurations, and model availability—indicating that the standard Vivo X500 will be absent from the initial regional rollout.
Standard Vivo X500 Excluded from Initial European Rollout
While the Chinese launch featured three devices, European buyers will likely only see two models on October 27: the Vivo X500 Pro and the Vivo X500 Pro Max. According to the leak, the base Vivo X500 will not debut alongside its higher-tier counterparts. Although there remains a small possibility that the standard model could arrive in Europe at a later date, Vivo's immediate regional strategy focuses exclusively on the Pro and Pro Max variants.
Vivo X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max European Prices and Configurations
The leak outlines specific memory tiers, color finishes, and retail prices for both high-end models arriving in Europe:
| Model | RAM & Storage | European Price | Available Colorways |
| Vivo X500 Pro | 12GB RAM / 256GB storage | €1,399 | Moonlit Black, Sunny White |
| Vivo X500 Pro Max | 12GB RAM / 512GB storage | €1,799 | Moonlit Black, Starry Gray |
| Vivo X500 Pro Max (Photographer Kit Bundle) | 12GB RAM / 512GB storage | €1,999 | Moonlit Black, Starry Gray |
It has not yet been confirmed whether Vivo plans to offer additional RAM or storage variants for the X500 Pro beyond the 12GB/256GB baseline configuration in European markets. Meanwhile, mobile photography enthusiasts who opt for the top-tier X500 Pro Max bundled with the dedicated Photographer Kit accessory package will face a €1,999 price tag—an extra €200 over the standalone handset.
How the Vivo X500 Series Compares to the Oppo Find X10 and iPhone 18 Pro Max
Although Vivo has yet to officially verify these figures, the reported numbers align closely with broader flagship pricing trends across the European Union:
- Matching the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max: Earlier this month, a separate leak detailed European pricing for the Oppo Find X10 series ahead of its October 21 regional debut. The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is expected to launch at the exact same €1,799 price point as the Vivo X500 Pro Max, complete with an identical 12GB RAM and 512GB storage configuration.
- Undercutting the iPhone 18 Pro Max: If these leaked figures hold true, both the Vivo X500 Pro Max and the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max will retail for €50 less in Europe than an equivalently equipped 512GB iPhone 18 Pro Max.
With multiple ultra-premium Android flagships converging near the €1,800 mark—and specialized camera bundles approaching €2,000—the upcoming October launches underscore a steep upward shift in European flagship smartphone pricing.
