Vivo has raised the price of the Y500 in Pakistan by Rs. 10,000 on both 8 GB variants. The 8 GB + 128 GB model now costs Rs. 109,999, up from Rs. 99,999, while the 8 GB + 256 GB model now costs Rs. 119,999, up from Rs. 109,999. The new prices are live on vivo’s own Pakistan store.
The change was spotted between reads of vivo’s Pakistan store on 19 October and 4 November 2026. Both variants went up by exactly the same amount, Rs. 10,000, and vivo has posted no reason for the increase on its store.
The Y500 is vivo’s big-battery phone in Pakistan, built around an 8,100 mAh BlueVolt battery — the largest battery vivo has fitted to a phone sold outside China. That is the phone’s main selling point, and nothing about the phone itself has changed. Only the price has moved.
New Prices
| Variant | Old Price | New Price | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vivo Y500 8 GB + 128 GB | Rs. 99,999 | Rs. 109,999 | Up Rs. 10,000 (about 10%) |
| Vivo Y500 8 GB + 256 GB | Rs. 109,999 | Rs. 119,999 | Up Rs. 10,000 (about 9.1%) |
Both variants are PTA approved and sold with vivo’s official warranty through vivo’s Pakistan store, in Pearl White and Midnight Blue. The store also lists 6 GB versions of the phone, from Rs. 89,999, but the Rs. 10,000 increase applies to the two 8 GB variants above.
What You Get: Vivo Y500
The Y500 is a 4G phone, not a 5G phone. Its headline feature is the 8,100 mAh BlueVolt battery, which vivo says is built for several days of use between charges. It has a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a 50 MP Sony main camera, and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance, including underwater photography.
It runs Android 16 with vivo’s OriginOS 6. The phone went on sale in Pakistan in late June 2026 at Rs. 99,999 for the 8 GB + 128 GB model, so the new price is Rs. 10,000 above its launch price after about four months.
Why the Increase
Vivo has not given any reason for the price rise. No statement, no notice, and no explanation appeared with the new prices on its store.
Phone prices in Pakistan often move with the exchange rate, taxes, and import costs, but that is only a general explanation. In this case, we can only report what changed: both 8 GB variants went up by Rs. 10,000, and vivo gave no reason.
What This Means for Buyers
If you were planning to buy the Y500, the new prices are now the official vivo store prices. A few things are worth keeping in mind:
- Check shops for old stock. Shops often sell stock bought before a price rise at the old price for a few days. A PTA-approved unit with vivo’s warranty at Rs. 99,999 (128 GB) or Rs. 109,999 (256 GB) is a fair deal if you can still find one.
- Confirm the exact variant. The 128 GB and 256 GB models are now Rs. 10,000 apart, and the store also lists 6 GB versions, so ask the shop for the exact RAM and storage before paying.
- Check the price on vivo’s store first. A shop price far below the official price can mean a non-PTA or grey-market unit, which may not carry vivo’s official warranty.
- Verify PTA approval. Dial *#06# to get the IMEI numbers, match them with the box, and send the IMEI to 8484 to confirm PTA approval.
The Y500 is still the phone to buy in this range if battery life is your first priority — no other vivo phone in Pakistan has an 8,100 mAh battery. But at Rs. 109,999, it now costs the same as phones with faster chips and 5G, so buyers who care more about performance than battery life should compare it with rivals at the same price before spending.
