Leaks describe a 6.59-inch display, a huge 7,500mAh battery and MediaTek's Dimensity 9600. Nothing is announced yet — every figure below is expected/leaked, and Pakistani prices are estimates.

Quick Summary
Expected Price in Pakistan
All figures are expected estimates based on import/PTA cost trends — not official Apple prices. Prices may change after the official launch.
| Variant | Expected Non-PTA | Expected PTA Approved | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vivo X500 12/256GB (expected) | Rs 240,000 – Rs 265,000 | Rs 340,000 – Rs 375,000 | Expected |
| Vivo X500 16/512GB (expected) | Rs 265,000 – Rs 290,000 | Rs 370,000 – Rs 410,000 | Expected |
All prices are expected estimates, not official figures — anchored to current X-series pricing in Pakistan and the ~Rs 278 dollar rate. vivo operates officially in Pakistan, but X-series flagships arrive as grey imports first with select models launching officially later. Final PTA tax depends on FBR slabs at registration.
Latest leaks: what is expected in the Vivo X500
The naming first: reports say vivo is skipping the X400 series, so the X300's successor arrives as the X500 — expected in China in September 2026. If you searched for the “Vivo X400,” this is that phone.
Leaked specs: a 6.59-inch display, a 7,500mAh silicon-carbon battery — enormous for the standard model — and MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 — an August upgrade over the Dimensity 9500 of earlier reports (the Pro is tipped for a higher-binned 2nm variant). Zeiss-tuned cameras continue in vivo's circular module, with the 50MP-class main expected to carry the series' LOFIC dynamic-range tech.
Software: OriginOS (China) / Funtouch OS (global) on Android 17. Everything is leak-based until vivo's official event.
How much will the Vivo X500 cost in Pakistan?
Anchored to current X-series pricing, expect roughly Rs 240,000–290,000 non-PTA and Rs 340,000–410,000 PTA-approved (estimates). Early units will be China-ROM grey imports; global units and any official Pakistani launch follow later.
This band's PTA tax is expected around Rs 90,000–125,000 on CNIC — a big chunk of the phone's value, so budget the PTA-approved figure for daily SIM use. Verify any IMEI on the official DIRBS portal, and confirm ROM type — a Mehfoz inspection checks both.

Rumor timeline and expected availability
Early 2026: chipset roadmap leaks (initially Dimensity 9500 for the base model; August 2026 reports upgraded this to the Dimensity 9600). July 2026: display, battery and camera leaks firmed up; the X400-skip naming was reported. September 2026 (expected): China launch. October–November 2026 (expected): first grey units in Pakistan. Early 2027 (expected): global rollout, steadier prices.
Regions: China first; India/Southeast Asia within months; Dubai and Saudi Arabia via regional launches; UK retail limited and USA import-only. Pakistan sees grey units first, official availability for select models later.
Who should buy the X500, who should skip, who should wait?
Buy if you want Zeiss camera tuning and a 7,500mAh battery at the most sensible price in the series. Skip if you own an X200/X300-class phone — they remain excellent and will get cheaper. Wait for launch if you are undecided; reviews and settled grey prices arrive within weeks of the China event.

Expected resale value and future price history in Pakistan
A PTA-approved X500 is estimated to retain roughly 65–75% of its price after 6 months, 50–60% after 1 year and 35–45% after 2 years — vivo holds value moderately in Pakistan, helped by its strong local brand presence. China-ROM and non-PTA units fare worse. Estimates, not guarantees.
No price history exists yet — after launch this section will track import, market and used prices over time.
How we researched this guide (editorial note)
Cross-checked from NotebookCheck, 91mobiles, Gizmochina and PhoneArena; multi-source claims only, all unconfirmed details labeled expected or rumored. Pakistani estimates anchor to real X-series pricing and the ~Rs 278 dollar rate. Confidence: moderate-to-high on the September China window and X400-skip naming, moderate on the 7,500mAh battery, lowest on exact pricing. We did NOT create pages for the launched Vivo V70/V70 Elite or Y400 series, nor for “X400” models that reportedly will never exist. Last reviewed by the Mehfoz editorial team on 8 August 2026; updated after major leaks and immediately after vivo's official launch.

PTA Tax — What Pakistani Buyers Should Know
- A non-PTA Vivo X500 will run a Pakistani SIM only for about a 60-day traveller grace period, then the SIM is blocked until PTA tax is paid.
- This band faces an expected Rs 90,000–125,000 PTA tax on CNIC (estimate); Passport registration is cheaper but time-limited.
- vivo sells officially in Pakistan, but X-series flagships usually arrive as grey imports first — confirm ROM type, warranty and PTA status before paying.
- PTA/FBR tax slabs change over time — verify the live figure on the official DIRBS portal before paying.
- Always confirm whether a quoted price is PTA-paid or non-PTA — see PTA-approved phones in Faisalabad.
Final PTA tax for any model should be verified from official PTA/FBR sources once available. We do not claim official PTA tax for unreleased models.
