The Vivo X500 price in India has leaked just weeks before the flagship series is expected to arrive in the country. Tipster Sanju Choudhary shared the tentative India pricing on X on November 9, 2026, and the numbers put Vivo’s new flagship firmly in the ultra-premium segment, with the range starting at Rs 1,19,999 and going up to Rs 2,29,999 for a special Master Set.
Vivo has already started teasing the X500 series in India on its official website and social media channels, but the company has not officially confirmed the launch date or the prices yet. All figures in this article about the Vivo X500 price in India are based on leaks and reports, and the final prices could change when Vivo makes its official announcement.
Vivo X500 Price in India (Leaked): Full List
According to the leak, first reported by GSMArena, the Vivo X500 series will arrive in three models: the Vivo X500, the Vivo X500 Pro and the Vivo X500 Pro Max. The leaked prices, all for the 12GB RAM variants, are Rs 1,19,999 for the Vivo X500 with 256GB storage, Rs 1,49,999 for the Vivo X500 Pro with 256GB storage, Rs 1,59,999 for the Vivo X500 Pro Max with 256GB storage, and Rs 1,79,999 for the Vivo X500 Pro Max with 512GB storage.
The most expensive option in the leak is the Vivo X500 Pro Max Master Set, tipped at Rs 2,29,999. The tipster also claims, as reported by Digit, there will be exclusive offline discounts on top of these prices, which could make the effective street prices slightly lower than the leaked figures.
Vivo X500 India Launch Date: November 25 Tipped
The Vivo X500 series is tipped to launch in India on November 25, 2026, according to tipster Debayan Roy. The series launched in China in September 2026 and went global last month, but India is still waiting for its official debut. All three models have reportedly been listed on India’s BIS certification database, which supports the claim that all three will launch in India.
Vivo has confirmed only that the series is coming to India this month. The November 25 date remains a tip, not an official announcement, so buyers should wait for Vivo’s own confirmation before marking the calendar.
Vivo X500 Specifications (Expected)
The Vivo X500 series is expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 series processors, with batteries of up to 8,000mAh across the lineup. The Vivo X500 Pro Max is tipped to carry a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 200MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom and OIS, and a 50MP selfie camera.
For context, the China prices of the series convert to roughly Rs 79,000 for the base model and around Rs 1,00,000 for the Pro Max, which means the leaked India prices carry a significant premium over the Chinese pricing. That gap is normal for Vivo’s India flagship pricing, which includes duties, taxes and channel costs, but it also means the X500 will compete directly with the most expensive phones from Samsung, Apple and OnePlus in India.
Should You Wait for the Vivo X500?
If camera performance is the priority, the Vivo X500 Pro Max looks like the model to watch, with its 200MP telephoto lens headlining the package. But the Vivo X500 price in India starts at a leaked Rs 1,19,999, already above most premium flagships, so the series is clearly aimed at buyers who want the best camera phone Vivo makes and are willing to pay for it.
The smart move is to wait for the official launch on or around November 25, when Vivo will confirm the real prices, the exact Indian configurations and the sale date. Leaked prices have been wrong before, and the offline discounts mentioned in the leak could change the value equation further. For now, the leak tells us one thing clearly: Vivo is not holding back on price with the X500 series.

Vivo X500 vs OnePlus 16: The Rs 1 Lakh-Plus Battle
The Vivo X500 will not have the ultra-premium segment to itself. The OnePlus 16 is also tipped for an India launch at Rs 1,30,000 to Rs 1,40,000, after a reported closed-door meeting in Mumbai, and it brings a 9,000mAh battery, a 185Hz display and a 200MP camera from its China launch on October 12. The Vivo X500 price in India and the OnePlus 16’s tipped price both sit above Rs 1 lakh, and both phones lead with their cameras, and both are testing whether Indian buyers will pay Samsung and Apple money for a Chinese flagship.
The difference is positioning. The Vivo X500 Pro Max leads with its 200MP telephoto lens and Vivo’s camera-first approach, while the OnePlus 16 leads with battery size and display speed. For buyers, the choice may come down to which camera system they trust more, and which brand’s after-sales network is stronger in their city. Either way, November and December 2026 are shaping up to be the most competitive flagship season India has seen in years.
