Vivo X500 Series IMEI Listings Explained: What Is Confirmed, What Is Rumor, and When It Launches By Michael B. Norris  |  Senior Mobile Hardware Journalist  |  Updated: November 12, 2026 Recent GSMA IMEI database entries confirm that Vivo is preparing global variants of its upcoming flagship lineup,  including the  Vivo X500 Ultra (model V2660)  and a Brazil-bound  Jovi X500 Ultra (model J2613) .  While these database records prove the phones exist and are being cleared for international networks,  they do  not  confirm final camera specs,  battery sizes,  or an exact Indian release date.

Motorola Edge (2026) Explained: Why the Flat Screen and 73mm Zoom Lens Matter More Than Early Leaks Claimed By Michael B. Norris  |  Consumer Hardware & Mobile Tech Journalist Early rumors about the  Motorola Edge (2026)  focused heavily on two big hardware leaks:  a switch to a flat screen and a 73mm telephoto zoom camera.  Now that Motorola has officially unveiled and released the phone,  we can confirm those leaks were right—and see the major everyday upgrades that early rumor roundups completely missed,  like a much smaller,  pocket-friendly 6. 3-inch body and a brighter 5, 200-nit screen.
