Vivo X500 Ultra leak: 50+50+200MP rear and 68MP selfie

A fresh leak from tipster Digital Chat Station revisits camera details for Vivo's next Ultra-class handset and reveals a separate 68-megapixel square front sensor planned for an upcoming S-series model.

Reported camera configuration for the Ultra

According to Digital Chat Station, the Vivo X500 Ultra (identified by the tipster as an Ultra device powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6) is expected to carry a standard 50-megapixel front camera and a triple rear camera unit arranged as 50-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 200-megapixel. The leak does not assign exact roles to each rear sensor; the 200-megapixel module is widely expected to serve telephoto duties. The tipster did not explicitly name the model in every instance, but the details align with earlier leaks that identified an X500 Ultra device.

S-series square selfie sensor and shared hardware cues

The same leak also describes a square front camera test sensor, the Sony IMX05A at 68 megapixels, slated for a next-next-generation S model. The tip suggests that this S phone could be the Vivo X500s, Vivo's customary companion to an Ultra model, rather than a numbered S70 or S80 handset.

Engineering-sample information previously reported for the X500s indicates a 6.85-inch 2K+ 144Hz flat display with even bezels. That panel size and refresh rate match the large flat screen tipped for the Ultra-class device and support the idea that the X500 Ultra and X500s are being developed on a shared hardware track.

Other reported specifications and timing

• Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 (linked to the X500 Ultra in earlier tips)
• Battery: roughly 7,000-8,000mAh (reported in earlier tips)
• Display: 6.85-inch 2K+ 144Hz flat panel reported for an X500s engineering sample
• Launch window: China launch targeted around March-April (from earlier reports)
• Expected debut: both the X500 Ultra and X500s are forecast to debut together in the first half of 2027

Until Vivo publishes official specifications, treat the 50 + 50 + 200 rear-camera trio on the Ultra and the square 68-megapixel IMX05A selfie plan for the S-model as early tipster details attributed to Digital Chat Station.
