The date follows earlier teasers in the country and lines up with previous reports that the lineup would arrive by the end of November.

#vivoIndia #BornToCreate — vivo India (@Vivo_India) November 12, 2026 The official post refers to the X500 series and contains a 15-second teaser, but it does not name which models will go on sale in India. The clip shows a red finish on the standard X500, which operates with a smaller circular camera module with a separate flash.

That red variant has not been offered in China and does not appear to be on sale in Europe or Southeast Asia either. Earlier coverage pointed to the Vivo X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max all arriving together, and a recent India teaser appeared to highlight the Pro Max with a 400mm-equivalent Zeiss telephoto extender.
