Vivo X500 Ultra: Leaker outlines two Zeiss camera paths for 35mm and 85mm variants

A reliable leaker says Vivo is evaluating prototypes for the X500 Ultra, the successor to the X300 Ultra. For the 35mm main camera, options include a 50MP LOFIC sensor with a micro‑gimbal for better stabilization or a LOFIC variant with higher dynamic range; for the 85mm telephoto, three options are on the table, potentially featuring larger sensors up to 1/1.12 inch. Final specifications haven’t been finalized yet as Vivo gears up to push the Zeiss camera flagship in the near future.
