Vivo is slated to launch its newest phones called the vivo X50 and X50 Pro, sporting gimbal-like stabilization on top of a premium-looking design and hardware. We got all the details you need to know before it launches on August 22.
Both devices offer with quad-rear camera setups, high-resolution selfie shooters, and 33-watt fast charging. The X50 Pro sports a built-in, gimbal-like Image Stabilization for less shaky videos. It’s been primarily shown as a new device offering for Smart’s 5G network, and we happened to get a glimpse of how the brand will price these phones in the country.

Official Price and Pre-order Details in the Philippines: Vivo sales personnel are now starting to flood the Facebook Marketplace with advertisements. Pre-orders for the X50 Pro will have a free JBL Go 2 Bluetooth Speaker in tow, while X50 is bundled with a Vivo X50 Comfy Case and a 10,000mAh power bank. Both models will come with an additional 6-month warranty on top of the regular one-year aftersales care.
The price? We saw it on their own website. While it seems to be marked as “Sold Out” for the time being, the website’s internal coding proved otherwise: The Vivo X50 will retail in stores for PHP 25,999, while the beefier Vivo X50 pro goes on sale for PHP 39,999. It’s expected to roll out on Vivo stores, authorized dealers, as well as their official store on Lazada as well as their own e-Store.
We’re also hearing from different sources that Vivo will offer credit card and Home Credit installments from the pre-order to the actual sale dates. Expect pre-orders to last until August 28th, with the general release slated for the August 29 Pay Day weekend.
It’s also worth noting that Vivo is listing only the 4G variants of the device, so expect the 5G-equipped Vivo X50 Pro to land as a phone offering exclusive to telcos such as Smart, who has earlier announced its local arrival.
