vivo has just taken the covers off the design of the upcoming vivo T5x, which is set to bring some major upgrades for the T-series lineup. And we have it with us, currently testing what the phone can do. We can’t talk about the performance or camera samples just yet, but we can talk about the design and show you how it looks in person.

vivo has confirmed that the T5x 5G will launch in India on March 17 at 12 PM IST. After the official announcement, the smartphone will be available for purchase through Flipkart, the vivo India online store, and authorised offline retail outlets across the country.

Design & Hardware

The T5x follows vivo’s recent language, with a camera island on the back, albeit smaller. It’s a comfortable phone to use day to day, and I do like the matte finish very much since it doesn’t attract fingerprints.

The front houses a fairly sizeable full HD+ display that’s plenty sharp for everyone and even stays readable in direct sunlight. The phone will also have IP68 and IP69 ratings, meaning you can technically submerge it underwater and be fine.

Optics will be handled by a 50 MP Sony main camera sensor with Electronic Image Stabilisation and the ability to capture 4K videos. We’ve taken the T5x cameras for a spin, and they seem plenty decent. Though you should wait for our full review, it’ll drop next week after the launch.

Battery & Performance

The biggest highlight of the vivo T5x is obviously the 7,200 mAh battery. vivo says it’s the biggest in the segment and should last multiple days on a charge. We can’t really say much about that claim, but the phone also has 44W fast charging.

The new vivo T5x 5G will have a new MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo processor. The processor should deliver smooth performance for daily tasks and gaming, and the Chinese smartphone maker is currently advertising an AnTuTu score of over one million.

On the software side, the vivo T5x 5G will run OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. This new version is designed to deliver smoother navigation and improved performance. Users can also expect more customization features and a cleaner interface.

Expected Price in India

vivo plans to bring the phone to India with an expected price under ₹23,000. The phone will target the mid-range segment where strong performance and large batteries attract buyers. Furthermore, vivo will launch the smartphone on March 17 at 12 PM IST, and customers can buy it through Flipkart, the official vivo India website, and offline stores.
