  "account": "vivo is set to debut its X500 series in China next month, marking the refresh of its flagship X lineup. The series will consist of three models: X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. According to vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao, these devices will focus on videography, featuring cinema-grade video recording capabilities. The new series will include a \"ZEISS Ultra Dynamic Main Camera\" with a Sony-built Phantom 900 sensor, offering a 17EV dynamic range and 4K 240fps slow-motion and 4K 120fps HDR video recording. The Pro Max model will have a main camera that supports 3-degree optical image stabilisation, while CIPA 7.0 professional-grade stabilisation will also be available. Improvements to the operating system and display are also expected. Although leaks have surfaced online, no specific details about the devices have been disclosed yet. The base model is reportedly smaller, with a circular camera module on the top left corner, resembling Apple's design language. The Pro and Pro Max models will have larger displays, with the Pro model featuring a 6.37-inch screen and the Pro Max model sporting a 6.85-inch panel. Internally, the base model will likely use a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, while the Pro models will run on the Dimensity 9600. All models will feature batteries with a minimum capacity of 7,000mAh. As leaks are often unreliable, confirmation will only come once the phones launch. However, the September debut is anticipated to be limited to the Chinese market, with global availability to follow. The announcement only covers these three models, with no mention of an Ultra version, which is consistent with vivo's typical launch strategy.",
