Vivo may bring its X500 Ultra smartphone to markets beyond China in 2027, according to reported database listings. Erencan Yılmaz, reporting through OVR+, identified references in the GSMA's IMEI database that suggest an international version is being prepared.

The model number V2660 reportedly identifies the global variant, with Europe among its possible destinations. Another version, numbered J2613, is said to be intended for Latin America, including Brazil, under Vivo's Jovi brand. An international launch remains unconfirmed.

Separately, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station said Vivo is testing the X500 Ultra with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor and Sony LYT910 camera sensor. The leak points to a main camera retaining a 35mm equivalent focal length.

The phone is expected to debut in China in April 2027. Its reported camera and processor specifications are not final, and Vivo could choose different components before mass production in 2027.
