Leaked Vivo X500 White Unboxing Reveals Design and Bundles Ahead of Official Launch

Yesterday a short video slipped onto social media that let us actually see the Vivo X500 in a colour that hadn’t been shown before – bright white. The clip was filmed inside a Vivo retail outlet in China, which suggests the leaker got the handset through official channels rather than a gray‑market source.

What we get to see is more than just a close‑up of the rear camera module, which was the only thing shown in the earlier box‑shot. The camera actually lifts the lid, revealing a 6.59‑inch screen that looks just as sleek as the promotional renders. The front is framed by a thin bezel, and the overall build feels solid, with the matte‑white finish giving the phone a premium vibe.

Inside the box, Vivo sticks to its usual bundling practice for the X‑series. There’s a 90 W fast‑charging brick – the kind that can juice the 5,000 mAh battery to full in under an hour – and a matching white silicone case that slides snugly over the sides. No surprise there, but it’s nice to have confirmation that the accessories are indeed part of the retail package.

The video also hints at the software situation. The device stays locked on the home screen, and none of the apps can be launched. That’s likely intentional; Vivo has said the phone won’t be fully functional until the official launch on September 21 in China, when the OS will be unlocked and the promised camera features will be enabled.

Speaking of cameras, the X500 continues the trend set by the X300 Pro. It carries a 1/1.28‑inch main sensor – the Sony LYT‑828 – and pairs it with a 64 MP Lytia‑610 telephoto lens that boasts CIPA‑rated 5.5‑stop optical image stabilization. Those numbers line up with the specs Vivo has already confirmed for the X500 series, so the hardware is probably exactly as advertised.

All in all, the unboxing video gives us the most concrete visual confirmation of the X500’s design language and its retail accessories so far. Until the September launch we’ll have to wait for hands‑on reviews, but at least now we know the white variant looks as crisp as the marketing images suggested.
