Vivo is expanding its budget 5G lineup in India once again, this time with the new T5x 5G. It follows last year’s T4x 5G, but on paper at least, this looks like a fairly meaningful upgrade.
Up front, the phone gets a 6.76-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s a flat panel with a punch-hole cutout, and while it’s not AMOLED, it should still be more than fine for basic tasks like texting, scrolling through social media, and watching videos on YouTube.
The bigger change is under the hood. Vivo has moved to the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo, replacing the Dimensity 7300. The company claims it can cross the 1 million mark on AnTuTu, which, if it holds up in real use, should translate to smoother multitasking and slightly better gaming performance. It runs Android 16 with Origin OS 6.0, and Vivo is promising 2 years of OS updates along with 4 years of security patches.
Battery is clearly one of the main highlights here. The T5x packs a 7200mAh battery and supports 44W fast charging. On top of that, the phone is IP68 and IP69 dust and water-resistant. It seems durability is a bigger focus of this phone.
On the camera side, things are more straightforward. There’s a 50MP Sony main sensor paired with a 2MP depth sensor, while the front gets an 8MP selfie camera. Nothing too ambitious, but likely good enough for daylight shots and video calls.
The phone comes in Star Silver and Cyber Green, with pricing starting at Rs. 18,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant. The 8GB + 128GB model is priced at Rs. 20,999, while the 8GB + 256GB version goes up to Rs. 22,999, factoring in launch offers.
Sales are set to begin March 24, via Flipkart, Vivo’s online store, and offline retail channels. Launch offers include up to Rs. 2,000 instant discount on select bank cards, no-cost EMI options, and bundled OTT access for eligible Jio users.
It’s not trying to do everything, but for budget-conscious buyers who care about practical features and reliability, it could land as an appealing option.
