vivo X500 / Samsung Galaxy S24+ (SM-S926B)

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

Samsung UK lists SIM 1 + SIM 2, SIM 1 + eSIM and dual eSIM layouts; eSIM needs operator support.

Samsung UK does not name the chip; the core layout and clocks belong to the SM-S926B. US models (SM-S926U) using a different chip by region are a separate variant.

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

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

vivo says 144 Hz applies in gaming scenarios.

QHD+ is sharper than the FHD+ panel of the regular S24. The 1–120 Hz range drops to 1 Hz on static content to save battery and rises to 120 Hz for scrolling. Vision Booster adjusts colour and contrast in sunlight to improve readability.

Peak values, not sustained brightness.

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.
