Apple iPhone 17e / vivo X500

The model number can differ by sales region.

Usable space is lower than the label because of the system and preinstalled apps.

Measured as a rectangle the screen is 6.06 inches; the rounded corners make the viewable area smaller.

vivo says 144 Hz applies in gaming scenarios.

The 1,200-nit figure applies only to HDR content as a short peak.

Peak values, not sustained brightness.

Apple claims 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation and improved anti-reflection.

The A19 in the iPhone 17 has a 5-core GPU; the 17e version has 4 GPU cores.

There is a single rear camera. The 2x option uses the centre of the 48 MP sensor rather than a separate telephoto lens; there is no ultrawide camera.

Apple does not list the battery capacity in mAh; the times are from Apple's tests and vary with use.

No adapter is included; the box contains a 1 m USB-C cable.

15 W MagSafe needs a 20 W or higher adapter. The iPhone 16e supported only 7.5 W Qi.

USB 2 speed makes wired transfers of large 4K videos to a computer slow.

The headset connection takes digital USB-C headsets only.

Apple says the C1X is up to 2x faster than the C1 in the iPhone 16e.

The SIM layout can vary by country.

The resistance is not permanent and can decrease with normal wear; liquid damage is not covered by the warranty.

vivo states this is not a professional waterproof phone and that immersion damage is not covered by warranty.

Requires mobile data or Wi-Fi calling.

The document gives no update commitment.

Model code listed for China; the manufacturer document gives no other regional code.

This record covers the 12 GB model. Usable memory is lower than the label because the system reserves a share.

The manufacturer does not name the front glass.

The 200 mm-equivalent teleconverter is sold separately and is not in the box.

90 W is the charger's maximum output; actual power varies with conditions. The wireless charger is sold separately.

The document gives no power figure.

The hardware supports 6.0; some functions will arrive in a later OTA update.

NFC-SIM payments work only from the SIM 1 slot.

5G dual-SIM works only with some band combinations and with operator SA/VoNR support.

Actual availability depends on the carrier network and software version.

The 15% larger VC area versus the previous generation is vivo's own claim.

Names in brackets are translations; the vivo China page names the colours in Chinese.
