Vivo X500 Pro Max Bags TKDN Certification in Indonesia

The vivo X500 Pro Max has cleared Indonesia’s TKDN database under model number V2610, the country’s local content certification for devices sold in-market. The clearance, posted by leaker Anvin on July 6, 2026 in the certification post for the X500 Pro Max, points to a near-term rollout outside China. The X500 family is expected to debut in China in September.

The Pro Max is the most ambitious model in the family until vivo unveils a separate X500 Ultra. The TKDN certification is the first regional regulatory clearance to surface for the device.

Indonesia’s TKDN Database Logs the X500 Pro Max

Indonesia’s TKDN database has registered the X500 Pro Max under model number V2610. TKDN, or Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri, is the country’s local content certification system, run by the Ministry of Industry. A device in the database is cleared to be sold through official channels in Indonesia.

A TKDN listing typically appears weeks or months before a regional launch, not after. The V2610 entry now sits on the Indonesian regulator’s books and matches the registration already filed with the GSM Association’s IMEI database. That pairing, a TKDN entry plus a global IMEI registration, is the pattern vivo has used for its recent international releases. The X500e, X500, and X500 Pro names have all followed the same route through the IMEI and TKDN steps in past vivo releases. Indonesia is also the first Southeast Asian regulator to surface the Pro Max by name.

The clearance is a formal signal that the Pro Max is heading for an international release. Vivo has not announced pricing or storage variants for the Indonesian market, but the device is now cleared to be sold in the country.

The V2610 Trail From IMEI to Indonesia

The V2610 number first surfaced in the GSM Association’s IMEI database, where it was tied to the X500 Pro Max name. That listing, reported in late June 2026, was the first confirmation that the Pro Max would ship outside China. An IMEI registration is what allows a phone to attach to mobile networks globally, so the entry is the standard marker for a global-bound device. Once the IMEI side is settled, regional regulators like TKDN tend to follow.

The X500 family is expected to launch in China in September, with international markets following in the months after. The TKDN clearance confirms the international rollout has begun on the regulatory side.

1. May 2026: Vivo X500, X500 Pro, and X500e names first spotted in the GSM Association’s IMEI database.
2. Late June 2026: X500 Pro Max joins the IMEI listings under model number V2610.
3. July 6, 2026: V2610 clears Indonesia’s TKDN database, posted by Anvin.
4. September 2026 (expected): X500 family debut in China.

What the Listing Actually Reveals

The TKDN entry confirms one thing clearly: the X500 Pro Max is cleared to ship in Indonesia with full network support. The database lists the device as supporting GSM, WCDMA, FDD LTE, TDD-LTE, and 5G NR. That band set is the standard roster for a global flagship, with 5G NR being the most modern addition. The certification also confirms the device will be a multi-band handset rather than a regional variant.

The entry carries no specifications, only the model number and a certification date. Spec details are still sourced from supply-chain chatter, not the regulator.

The TKDN database also does not list a release date, only the certification. Vivo has not announced pricing, color options, or storage variants for the Indonesian market. The certification clears the regulatory bar, but a commercial launch still needs a separate announcement from vivo’s local arm. Until then, the September China date is the only fixed point on the calendar.

Four Models, One Pro Max

The X500 Pro Max sits at the top of a four-model family that will reach global shelves. The lineup, per coverage, includes the X500, X500e, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max.

The Pro Max carries the designation vivo reserves for its most ambitious camera hardware. According to Smartprix, the Pro Max is the premium flagship of the X500 line until vivo unveils the X500 Ultra. It is the model vivo is positioning against the highest-tier flagships from Apple and Samsung.

Vivo is also skipping the X400 name entirely, jumping from the X300 series straight to the X500. The skip stems from tetraphobia, the cultural belief in parts of Asia that the number four is unlucky. The naming move signals that vivo is targeting both Chinese and international buyers with the X series. The X500 family is expected to debut in China first, in line with the X300 series pattern. An X500 Ultra is also reportedly in the works, per coverage.

The Pro Max branding mirrors the strategy Apple and Samsung use to mark out their top-spec models. The clearance is the first regulatory entry from a market outside China for any X500 model. The X500 Ultra has not been announced, so the Pro Max is the only X500 family phone confirmed for international release through a regulatory step.

Leaked Specs Shape the Picture

The X500 Pro Max is tipped to use a 6.85-inch flat LIPO OLED panel with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, sourced from a BOE display, according to TKDN certification and detailed specs coverage. LIPO packaging shrinks the bezels and lets the screen sit closer to the edge of the frame. The display is also said to support full-brightness PWM dimming. An ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor is the expected biometric option.

On the camera side, leaks point to a 50MP main sensor using LOFIC technology, paired with a 200MP periscope telephoto. A 50MP ultrawide rounds out the rear array, and a 50MP front-facing camera handles selfies. The periscope module is tipped to use an 85mm focal length and a 1/1.4-inch sensor.

Inside, the X500 Pro Max is expected to run the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 series chipset. The battery is tipped at 7,000 mAh or higher, with support for 100W wired charging and wireless charging. The device is tipped to ship with OriginOS 7, based on Android 17. Both OriginOS 7 and Android 17 are unannounced as of mid-2026, so the software claim is the most speculative part of the leak. The 7,000 mAh+ figure is the largest battery tipped for a vivo flagship.

From China to Indonesia and Beyond

Vivo is expected to launch the X500 family in China in September, with the X500 Pro Max as one of the headline models. The Indonesia TKDN clearance is the first regional certification to surface for the Pro Max. International markets are likely to follow in the months after the China debut. The September event is the next fixed point on the calendar for buyers tracking the rollout.

Vivo has not announced pricing, colorways, or launch dates for any market outside China. The TKDN certification is the first regional regulatory entry for any X500 family model. Vivo has not announced the X500 Ultra yet, so the Pro Max is the only X500 family phone confirmed for international release through a regulatory step. The certification came in via a leaker’s post on July 6, 2026, which is the date that anchors the rollout timeline. The September China event remains the next fixed point on the calendar.
