Vivo has officially launched the T5 Pro 5G in India, introducing significant hardware upgrades over its predecessor, the T4 Pro. Positioned as a strong competitor in the high-autonomy smartphone segment, the device prioritizes battery capacity and display technology to cater to power users and mobile gamers.
Display and Performance
The T5 Pro 5G features a 6.83-inch LTPS OLED panel provided by Visionox. The display offers a 1.5K resolution and a high 144Hz refresh rate, aimed at providing smooth visual transitions. Notably, the screen achieves a peak brightness of 5,000 nits and incorporates high-frequency PWM dimming to mitigate eye strain during extended use.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. This platform is supported by LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. To maintain performance during intensive tasks, Vivo has integrated a large-scale vapor chamber cooling system, which the company claims allows for stable gameplay at up to 120 FPS in supported titles.
Battery and Charging
The standout feature of the T5 Pro 5G is its 9,020 mAh battery, a substantial capacity intended to compete with other long-duration models like the Honor Power series. To complement this large cell, the device supports 90W fast charging, balancing high capacity with relatively quick recharge times.
Camera and Build Quality
The camera system utilizes a streamlined dual-lens setup on the rear, featuring a 50 MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), accompanied by a 2 MP depth sensor. A 32 MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video calls.
The smartphone is built to high durability standards, carrying both IP68 and IP69 certifications for water and dust resistance. It launches with Android 16 (under the OriginOS 6.0 skin).
Pricing and Availability
The Vivo T5 Pro 5G will be available in Blue and Black. Sales are scheduled to begin in India on April 21, with a starting price of approximately Rs 29,999 (~$321.71) for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration. We still have no official word about release dates or prices in other markets.
