The vivo X500 Ultra is shaping up to be a camera powerhouse, with fresh leaks suggesting it will adopt an ambitious dual-sensor strategy. According to the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, vivo's next flagship will equip both its primary and ultrawide cameras with Sony's LYTIA L910 sensor.
Reports first surfaced last month indicating that the X500 Ultra's main shooter would rely on the Sony LYTIA L910, a 50MP 1/1.28" sensor paired with a 35mm lens. Now, DCS has expanded on that claim, stating that the ultrawide camera will also benefit from the same L910 hardware.
What makes this development particularly noteworthy is the performance of the prototype. DCS revealed that an X500 Ultra test unit featuring L910 sensors for both the primary and ultrawide cameras recorded the highest CIS (CMOS Image Sensor) test results seen so far, hinting at exceptional imaging capabilities.
The camera upgrades don't end there. The tipster also mentioned that the periscope telephoto unit will incorporate an HPU sensor. If accurate, the X500 Ultra would become the only smartphone in the industry to combine LOFIC and DeepPix technologies, promising major improvements in dynamic range and detail capture.

In addition, DCS doubled down on earlier claims that the vivo X500 Ultra will be driven by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset.
Other specifications making the rounds include a 6.85" 144Hz 2K LTPO AMOLED display, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and a battery capacity ranging from 7,000 mAh to 8,000 mAh.
As for availability, the X500 Ultra is expected to debut in March or April next year.
