# Vivo X500 Pro model allegedly spotted during ad shoot 2026-08-21T23:41:16+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet An alleged Vivo X500 Pro model has been reportedly seen during the filming of an advertisement in China, offering an early look at one of the upcoming flagship phones. The sighting comes ahead of the anticipated launch of the Vivo X500 series, which is expected to include three models: Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro, and Vivo X500 Max. The company has not officially confirmed the lineup or the sighting. The rumoured series is likely to be the successor to Vivo's previous flagship models, though no specifications or launch date have been announced. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Vivo typically launches its X-series flagships in China around March or April. The sighting of a Pro model during an ad shoot suggests a commercial release is weeks, not months, away. The X500 series will compete with other Android flagships in the premium segment, which in India is dominated by Samsung and OnePlus. Vivo's Indian fans will likely see the phone within a quarter of the China launch, given the brand's usual rollout pattern. The next concrete milestone to watch is an official teaser from Vivo's Chinese social media accounts, which often appears 10-14 days before a launch event. ## Coverage - gadgets360.com Straightforward reporting of a rumour with no editorial slant This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
