vivo X500 Ultra Tipped to Pack Two Sony LYTIA L910 Sensors — and the Only Phone With LOFIC and DeepPix

The vivo X500 Ultra will feature two Sony LYTIA L910 camera sensors — one for the primary camera and one for the ultrawide — tipster Digital Chat Station says, with the prototype achieving the highest CMOS image sensor test results. The periscope camera will use an HPU sensor, making it the industry's only smartphone with LOFIC and DeepPix technology. The phone is expected in March or April 2027 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.

vivo X500 Ultra Tipped to Pack Two Sony LYTIA L910 Sensors — and the Only Phone With LOFIC and DeepPix

The vivo X500 Ultra will feature two Sony LYTIA L910 camera sensors, according to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station. Last month, DCS claimed the primary camera could use Sony's LYTIA L910 50MP 1/1.28-inch sensor with a 35mm lens. Today, DCS said the X500 Ultra will feature two LYTIA L910 sensors — the second one for the ultrawide camera. The X500 Ultra does not exist yet, so the photo with this article shows the vivo X500 Pro Max, the current flagship from the same series, instead.

Two L910 sensors, and the best test results yet

DCS said the X500 Ultra prototype using the L910 for the primary and ultrawide cameras achieved the highest CIS — CMOS Image Sensor — test results. That is a strong claim for a phone that is still months away, and it sets up the X500 Ultra as vivo's most camera-focused flagship yet. The periscope unit will use the HPU sensor, making it the industry's only smartphone with LOFIC and DeepPix tech, according to DCS. The article gives no further technical explanation of LOFIC or DeepPix, so what exactly those technologies change in practice remains to be seen.

The rest of the package

DCS reiterated that the X500 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. Other rumored specs include a 6.85-inch 144Hz 2K LTPO AMOLED display, an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and a battery between 7,000 mAh and 8,000 mAh. The X500 Ultra will arrive next year in March or April — March or April 2027 — which matches the timeframe reported earlier. With two flagship sensors, a periscope with new imaging tech and a large battery, the X500 Ultra is shaping up to be vivo's biggest camera bet since the X500 Pro Max.
