Editorial
(this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging, imaging and desktop replacement functionality performance) On Sep 21 Vivo came with first of the next-gen Android flagships: X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max. The Pro model is actually an upgrade of excellent X300 (X400 series never happened, probably out of superstition) and it is a very good incremental upgrade: 2nm chip, 500mAh bigger battery, 144Hz Dolby Vision screen and upgraded periscope telephoto lens. Main camera got a downgrade from 200MP to 50MP and charging speeds remain the same making it one of the best compacts in the world.
