vivo is warming up India for the next entry in its T5 family, and the teaser campaign has already spilled most of the interesting details. The vivo T5 5G follows the T5 4G that arrived in May, and this time the headline hooks are a 3D curved display, a genuinely slim chassis and battery capacity that reads more like a power bank spec sheet.
Let’s start with that endurance play. The T5 5G packs a 7500 mAh battery paired with 100W fast charging — a combination that promises multi-day stamina without turning the phone into a brick. Impressively, vivo has kept the body down to a 7.99 mm profile despite the oversized cell, which explains all the “Ultra Slim Body” chatter in the promo material.
The front is dominated by a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, curved on both edges for that premium in-hand feel. Under the hood sits the Qualcomm 7s Gen4 chipset, backed by 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. vivo is also leaning hard into on-device intelligence, marketing the phone as having a GenAI Ready NPU for faster AI tasks.
Photography duties fall to a triple rear camera arrangement — a 50 MP main sensor joined by 13 MP and 8 MP units — housed in a horizontally aligned camera island reminiscent of the vivo S2. Selfie fans get a healthy 32 MP front camera.
The T5 series is shaping up to be one of vivo’s busiest lineups, with five smartphones now in the mix. The 5G model slots in as the next step up from the recently launched 4G variant, and the branding leaves little doubt about what separates them.
Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect:
- Display: 6.67-inch AMOLED, 120 Hz, 3D curved
- Chipset: Qualcomm 7s Gen4
- Memory: 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage
- Rear cameras: 50 MP + 13 MP + 8 MP
- Front camera: 32 MP
- Battery: 7500 mAh with 100W fast charging
- Thickness: 7.99 mm
- Extras: GenAI Ready NPU
On pricing, the T5 5G is expected to land in the ₹34,999 to ₹49,999 range. vivo has promised to reveal more on August 25 at 12 PM Indian time, so the full story — availability and exact configurations included — should crystallise then. For now, the pitch is clear: a slim, curved-screen mid-ranger that refuses to compromise on battery life.
