The Y500 features a 6.83-inch 1.5K Infinity AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, aimed at delivering sharper visuals and smoother motion while streaming videos, browsing social media and navigating apps. vivo’s official Bangladesh specifications confirm the display size, 2800×1260 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
Its 8,100mAh BlueVolt battery is designed to support longer periods of communication, entertainment and regular use without frequent charging interruptions. The official specification page also lists 44W charging.
The smartphone is powered by what vivo describes as a 6nm Ultra-Smooth Processor, with an AnTuTu benchmark score of 680,000.
According to vivo laboratory tests, the chipset delivers 30 per cent better overall performance, 28 per cent higher CPU performance and 44 per cent stronger GPU performance than the Snapdragon 685 used in the vivo Y400 and vivo V60 Lite.
The Y500 has also received a 50-Month Long-Term Smoothness Certification, indicating that the device passed vivo’s laboratory testing for sustained performance through hardware and software optimisation. The certification does not guarantee complete freedom from lag, as performance may vary according to usage and network conditions.
