An alleged photo and hands-on video of the vivo X500 Pro Max shows an absolute beast of a camera island with a rotating camera ring. Let’s look at the photo first – we’re not 100% sure, but we think that the phone on the left is the vivo X300 Ultra. And the phone on the right is allegedly the vivo X500 Pro Max.
