Vivo has confirmed the launch date for its next budget-focused smartphone in India. The Vivo T5x 5G will be introduced on March 17, 2026, with the event scheduled for 12 PM IST. The phone is expected to succeed the Vivo T4x 5G, bringing a few notable upgrades aimed at users who want strong battery life and reliable everyday performance.
One of the biggest talking points is the battery. The T5x 5G is widely expected to pack a 7,200mAh battery, which the brand is marketing as the “Segment’s Biggest Battery.” The company is using silicon-carbon battery technology to help increase capacity without making the phone excessively bulky.
Charging support is rated at 44W wired fast charging. The phone is also expected to support reverse wired charging, along with bypass charging for situations like gaming.
Inside, the device will run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo processor. The chipset has managed to cross the one-million mark on AnTuTu, which would put it comfortably in the upper tier of performance for this segment. On paper at least, it should handle multitasking and casual gaming without much difficulty. Durability is another area Vivo is highlighting. The phone is said to come with IP68 and IP69 ratings.
Camera hardware looks fairly straightforward. The rear setup includes a 50MP Sony IMX852 main sensor, which supports 4K video recording. On the front, the phone is expected to feature a 32MP selfie camera, which, if true, would be another notable upgrade over the 8MP selfie of the Vivo T4x.
Software will be based on Android 16, paired with OriginOS 6. The device is expected to receive two major Android updates along with four years of security patches.
As for pricing, Vivo hasn’t revealed anything yet. But early hints suggest the T5x 5G could launch under Rs 23,000. Once announced, it will be available through Flipkart, Vivo’s official online store, and retail outlets across India.
