## Key points

- Vivo’s X500 Pro Max adds major video and camera upgrades.
- It records 4K video at up to 240 frames per second.
- Stabilisation impresses, though some photos may look overprocessed.

## Summary

Vivo’s X500 Pro Max is a camera-focused smartphone that adds substantial video features and upgraded imaging hardware. Its stabilisation and high-frame-rate recording make it a strong option for filming on a phone, though it lacks a recording feature offered by a rival device.

The main camera uses a 50-megapixel Sony sensor with 17 stops of dynamic range, while the telephoto camera has a 200-megapixel sensor and supports lossless zoom up to 10x. It can record 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, and its Pro Video Mode supports custom LUTs and an ACES workflow. The article says its footage was exceptionally smooth, but some photos looked overly processed; the X500 Pro Max also supports two Zeiss co-produced teleconverter lenses.
