Last week, Vivo confirmed that it will soon launch the Vivo Y500 phone in China. While the company has launched a couple of Y400-series phones in markets outside of China, the upcoming Y500 will be a successor to the Vivo Y300, which debuted in December 2024. The first teaser of the Y500 released last week revealed a circular camera module and a durable build, but the brand hasn’t confirmed anything else about it since then. A Weibo post released by tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed the chipset and battery size of the device.
Vivo Y500 to feature Dimensity 7300, 8200mAh battery
According to the tipster, the Vivo Y500 will feature a flat display on the front, which is likely to be a 120Hz AMOLED display. Under the hood, the Y500 will feature the Dimensity 7300 chipset.
The leak further states that the Vivo Y500 will house a mammoth 8,200mAh battery. With this, it will offer the largest battery seen on a Vivo smartphone. The only other mainstream phone that offers a larger capacity is the Honor X70, which debuted last month with an 8,300mAh battery.
As per other reports, the Y500 is expected to arrive with an IP68-rated dust- and water-resistant body. The other details of the phone are yet to be confirmed.

It has an 8-megapixel front-facing camera and a 50-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera system. The device runs on OriginOS 5-based Android 15 and features an in-screen fingerprint sensor for security.
