vivo expands market reach with refurbished program and X500 series

vivo is expanding its product ecosystem through both refurbished hardware initiatives and upcoming flagship releases. In the Philippines, the company is launching an official certified refurbished program. This initiative provides professionally inspected pre-owned handsets, such as the vivo X300 FE and X300 Ultra, which undergo strict testing of hardware, battery, and software to meet original manufacturer standards. These units include an official warranty to ensure reliability for consumers.

Simultaneously, vivo is preparing to launch the X500 series, including the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. A China launch is scheduled for September 21, 2026. The new series is expected to feature significant upgrades, including Dimensity 9600-series processors, batteries exceeding 7,000mAh on select models, and advanced camera systems. The Pro models are anticipated to utilize ZEISS-tuned sensors and high-resolution telephoto capabilities, such as a potential 200MP ZEISS APO Super Telephoto camera on the Pro Max model.
