With 4K/240fps slow-mo, this upcoming flagship could blow rivals out of the water

vivo has unveiled its latest smartphone series, the X500, which promises to set a new standard for camera technology in mobile devices. The flagship phone within this lineup, the X500 Pro, is equipped with a custom Sony sensor that boasts an impressive 17 stops of dynamic range. This means that the camera will be able to capture well-lit shadows, even when there are bright highlights in the scene.

One of the most notable features of the X500 Pro is its ability to record slow-motion videos at 4K resolution at 240 frames per second. This is a significant upgrade from previous devices, which have struggled to match the iPhone 17 Pro in video capabilities. According to vivo's product manager Han Boxiao, the X500 series aims to push mobile video to a whole new level.

Previously, vivo made waves with its Ultra camera phone, which featured one of the most extensive zoom lenses ever seen on a smartphone. Now, the company is set to launch a new flagship camera phone in September, which is expected to bring even more groundbreaking features to the table. According to Boxiao's Weibo post, the upcoming X500 series will revolutionize mobile video, leaving its competitors in the dust.
