Pro cameras could finally become standard on regular flagships, and that’s good news for your wallet
The vivo X300 Pro camera hardware is coming to a much cheaper flagship.
vivo is set to make a significant upgrade to its standard X500 smartphone by incorporating the X300 Pro's 50MP LYTIA-828 main sensor. This move, along with the addition of a Pro-level 64MP periscope camera featuring CIPA 5.5 stabilization and 4K/120fps slow-mo video capabilities, could potentially change vivo's flagship strategy.
The company's top-tier camera hardware has been traditionally reserved for its Pro and Ultra models, but the integration of this advanced camera hardware into the standard X500 suggests a shift in vivo's approach. The X300 Pro has been renowned for its exceptional camera performance, boasting a large main sensor, a capable telephoto lens, and top-notch stabilization.
By equipping the regular X500 with much of the camera hardware from its Pro counterpart, vivo demonstrates a commitment to delivering high-quality photography capabilities to a broader range of users. Ahead of the X500 series launch this month, vivo's product manager, Han Boxiao, confirmed on Weibo that the standard X500 will feature the 50MP Sony LYT-828 main sensor, the same sensor found in the X300 Pro.
Notably, the base model will also benefit from CIPA 5.5 stabilization, allowing it to rival the camera prowess of its Pro predecessor.
