Vivo X500 Ultra camera details emerge again as a new 68MP selfie camera Vivo phone is in the works

Last month, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station leaked details about the Vivo X500 Ultra’s cameras. Now, the tipster is back with more details about its camera capabilities. Here’s a look at what the new leak reveals.

Vivo X500 Ultra camera leak surfaces again

According to the tip, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6-powered Ultra device will use a standard 50-megapixel front camera. On the back, it will have a 50-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 200-megapixel triple camera unit, which lines up with Vivo’s next ultra-class camera phone after the Vivo X300 Ultra. Exact roles for each rear sensor are still unconfirmed, though the 200-megapixel unit is widely expected to sit on the telephoto. While he has not mentioned the name of the phone, it is pretty evident that the tipster is talking about the Vivo X500 Ultra.

The same exclusive also says a square front camera is currently planned for the next-next-generation S model. The test sensor named in the tip is the IMX05A at 68 megapixels. That S phone could be the Vivo X500s, Vivo’s usual companion to the Ultra, rather than a numbered S70 or S80 handset.

A recent report has already revealed that the X500s’ engineering sample is equipped with a 6.85-inch 2K+ 144Hz flat display with even bezels. That panel size and refresh rate match the large flat screen tipped for the Ultra class, which strengthens the idea that the two phones are being developed on a shared hardware track. Earlier tips have also linked the X500 Ultra to Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 power, a roughly 7,000-8,000mAh battery, and a China launch window around March-April.

Both the X500 Ultra and the X500s are expected to debut together in the first half of 2027. If that schedule holds, Vivo would again pair its camera flagship with an S-branded sibling in the same launch window, much like the X300 Ultra and X300s pairing. Until official specs land, treat the 50 + 50 + 200 rear trio and the square 68-megapixel selfie plan as early tipster detail.

Would you rather Vivo put the square 68-megapixel selfie on the X500s first, or keep a conventional punch-hole on both phones?
