Somewhere in the steady cycle of smartphone launches, a phone that has not yet been named by its maker is already taking shape in rumor. A tipster known for early hardware leaks, Digital Chat Station, suggests the vivo X500s will bring a Dimensity 9-series processor, a battery larger than its predecessor's 7,100mAh, and a 64MP periscope zoom lens. Vivo has said none of this, and the claims rest on one voice, so they are best held lightly until the company speaks for itself.
Vivo X500s Rumored Specs Emerge: Dimensity 9-Series Chip, Larger Battery, 64MP Periscope Camera
A phone that does not officially exist yet
So what's actually new here? The phone was already rumored.
Three things: a Dimensity 9-series chip, a battery larger than the X300s's 7,100mAh, and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera. All from the same tipster, Digital Chat Station.
And the display details?
Those came earlier from the same source: 6.85 inches, LTPO, 2K resolution, 144Hz.
Before we get carried away, every one of these is a single tipster's claim. Vivo hasn't said a word.
Is the chip claim specific?
No. It says Dimensity 9-series, not a named model. That's a family, not an answer.
The battery is similarly loose. It's described as larger than 7,100mAh, but we don't get a number.
Why does the X300s comparison matter?
It gives a baseline. Whatever the X500s ends up with, it's expected to beat that 7,100mAh cell.
Expected according to one source. The reporting can carry that it's a rumor, not that it's a spec.
So what settles it?
Vivo itself, through an announcement or official teaser. Until then, treat it as a lead, not a fact.
Der Puls
- A fresh leak has landed for a phone vivo has not announced, and the details arrive before any official word.
- The tipster's claims about a Dimensity 9-series chip, a bigger battery and a 64MP periscope camera are unverified and come from a single source.
- The X500s would join a lineup vivo only recently launched, adding pressure to know what comes next.
- Earlier leaks of a 6.85-inch 2K LTPO 144Hz display now sit alongside these new claims, building a picture still missing official confirmation.

A second round of leaks has surfaced for the vivo X500s, a phone that does not officially exist yet. The source is Digital Chat Station, the same tipster who first raised the device late last month, and a name that often appears in smartphone rumor coverage.
The X500s is expected to be the fourth model in a lineup vivo launched last month in global markets: the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max. Vivo has not announced the phone, and nothing in the current reporting comes from the company.
The newest claims cover three areas. The tipster says the phone will use a Dimensity 9-series chipset, though no specific chip has been named. The battery is said to be larger than the 7,100mAh cell in the predecessor, the X300s, but no capacity figure has been given. The camera is reported to include a 64MP periscope telephoto lens, with nothing more said about the rest of the system.
These details build on earlier reports of a 6.85-inch 2K LTPO display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Together they sketch a large-screen flagship with a strong chip, a big battery and long-range zoom.
For now, it is one tipster's word about an unreleased device. The signal to watch for is an official announcement or teaser from vivo, which would confirm the chip, battery and final specifications.
A second round of leaked details has surfaced for the vivo X500s, a phone that does not officially exist yet. The source is the same tipster who first talked about it late last month: Digital Chat Station, a name that regularly turns up in smartphone rumor coverage.
Some context on where the phone would sit. Last month, vivo launched the X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max in global markets. The X500s is expected to become the fourth model in that lineup. The company has not announced it, and nothing in the current reporting comes from vivo itself.
The newest claim concerns the processor. According to Digital Chat Station, an upcoming S-series flagship from vivo, expected to be the X500s, will be powered by a Dimensity 9-series chipset. The tipster did not, as reported, name a specific chip within that family.
The battery is the second detail. The phone is said to carry a larger cell than its predecessor, the vivo X300s, which has a 7,100mAh battery. No capacity figure for the X500s has been given, so the claim is relative: bigger than 7,100mAh, by an unknown margin.
The third detail is the camera. The tipster says the X500s will have a 64MP periscope telephoto camera. Nothing further about the rest of the camera system was offered.
These claims add to what Digital Chat Station had already shared. Earlier, the tipster said the phone will have a 6.85-inch LTPO display with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Taken together, the leaks sketch a large-screen flagship with a high-resolution panel, a top-tier MediaTek chip, a big battery and a long-range zoom lens.
All of it remains unconfirmed. These are one tipster's statements about an unreleased device, and vivo has not verified any of them. The thing to watch for is an official announcement or teaser from vivo, which would settle which chip, what battery capacity and what final specifications the X500s actually has.
