vivo introduces Y500 Pro with Dimensity 7400, 200MP camera | Infinium-tech

Vivo has just unveiled the Y500 Pro, and it’s a somewhat non-straightforward upgrade over its predecessor. Let’s start with the good stuff.

The phone is slightly faster thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC, which is basically the same SoC as the 7300 inside the Y400 Pro but with a 100MHz faster clock. RAM is either the same 8 gigabytes or a larger 12 GB, which the older phone does not have.

On a less positive note, the Vivo Y500 Pro downgrades its predecessor’s UFS 3.1 to UFS 2.2.

The Vivo Y500 Pro features a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with Diamond Shield glass. This is a slightly smaller panel than its predecessor, which was 6.77-inch. The new phone is also slightly heavier than its predecessor.

However, Vivo has made it better equipped with both IP68 and IP69 rated elements. Vivo Y500 Pro is also more drop-resistant and has received the industry’s first national standard reliability certification.

The other major improvement of the Y500 Pro compared to the Y400 Pro is the battery. It is now 7,000mAh (22% larger) and retains 90W charging.

The final upgrade is in the camera department. The single-lens camera system is now a 200MP unit with a larger 1/1.56-inch sensor.

The selfie camera is the same 32MP f/2.5 unit as before.

Vivo Y500 Pro comes in Obscure Cloud, Light Green, Soft Powder and Titanium Black colors and four configurations. The base 8/128GB is CNY 1,799 (€218, INR 22,400), 8/256GB is CNY 1,999 (€242, INR 24,900), 12/256GB is CNY 2,299 (€280, INR 28,600), and the top-of-the-line is 12/512GB. It is priced at CNY 2,599 (€315, INR 32,300).
