Vivo’s latest mid-range contender, the Y400 Pro 5G, has officially landed in India — and it’s not holding back. Backed by a 50MP Sony sensor, a blazing 90W charging setup, and a clean, curvy AMOLED display, the phone looks built to hustle in the crowded ₹25,000 segment. Sales kick off June 27, but pre-orders are already piling up.
Vivo Shoots For The Mid-Range Sweet Spot
Let’s not kid ourselves — ₹25,000 is a warzone right now. From Samsung’s A-series to Realme’s numeric lineup, there’s no shortage of choices. Vivo, though, seems to be banking on a heady mix of style and snappy features to cut through the noise.
At ₹24,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model, and ₹26,999 for 256GB storage, the Y400 Pro 5G doesn’t exactly scream “budget.” But take a look at the spec sheet and it starts to make more sense.
There’s that silky 6.77-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel, wrapped in 3D curves. It’s bright — like, seriously bright — with 4,500 nits of peak brightness. Vivo’s throwing around the word “slimmest,” too, claiming the 7.49mm chassis (on the Nebula Purple variant) makes it the slimmest curved-screen phone in the segment.
Add the triple-flavor colorway (Freestyle White, Fest Gold, and Nebula Purple), and the phone looks like it walked off a Gen-Z Pinterest board.
Cameras Aren’t Just For Show Anymore
The rear setup? A 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 main sensor with a 2MP depth companion. And yes, 4K video recording is supported, front and back. That’s a nice touch, especially for vloggers or creators working with a tight budget.
But the meat lies in the AI extras Vivo is packing in:
-
AI Photo Enhance sharpens images with context-aware adjustments.
-
AI Erase 2.0 helps ditch unwanted photobombers (or exes).
-
There’s also a 32MP front camera for your reels, complete with its own 4K mode.
Honestly, this is where the Y400 Pro 5G starts punching above its weight.
The AI tricks don’t stop with the camera either. You get productivity-focused features like AI Note Assist, AI Transcript Assist, and even AI Screen Translation — something students and working professionals might find themselves leaning on more than expected.
Core Performance Doesn’t Lag Behind
Under the hood, it’s powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 — a 4nm octa-core chip that’s built to handle multitasking and some casual gaming without breaking a sweat.
It’s paired with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, plus virtual RAM expansion if you need to fake a bit more breathing space. Storage is UFS 3.1 — fast enough for zipping through apps and loading big files.
Running the show is Funtouch OS 15 on top of Android 15. It’s still colorful and lively, but has toned down the clutter over the years. Vivo also made sure to squeeze in Circle to Search, Google’s flashy new gesture-based search feature.
There’s also an IP65 rating. That won’t let you go swimming, but it’ll survive the monsoon splash test just fine.
One-liner here: This phone doesn’t feel lazy on the inside either.
Battery, Charging and Everything Else You Didn’t Know You Wanted
Battery life won’t be a worry. You get a solid 5,500mAh cell, which is already above average. But then comes the curveball — 90W fast charging. Vivo claims a massive chunk of juice in minutes, and while we’ll need real-world tests to confirm, the spec alone stands out.
Charging is handled via USB Type-C and comes with OTG support. You also get the usual lineup — dual 5G SIM slots, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, and 4G LTE support.
There’s no wireless charging or IP68-level resistance, but let’s not forget this is still a mid-range phone. Most phones in this tier don’t even bother with an IP rating.
To make things clearer, here’s a snapshot of the key specs that matter:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.77″ FHD+ AMOLED, 120Hz, 4,500 nits brightness |
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (4nm) |
| RAM/Storage | 8GB LPDDR4X + 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1 |
| Rear Cameras | 50MP Sony IMX882 + 2MP depth sensor |
| Front Camera | 32MP, supports 4K video |
| Battery | 5,500mAh, 90W wired charging |
| OS | Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15 |
| Other Features | IP65 rating, AI tools, Circle to Search, OTG |
Vivo’s Betting Big on AI and Design
There’s something worth noticing here — a clear strategy shift. Vivo’s throwing AI at every corner of the experience. From photography to notes, transcription to translation, the Y400 Pro isn’t just trying to be another pretty face.
Yes, phones have been “smart” for a while, but with Android 15 enabling more AI hooks, brands like Vivo are treating it less like a buzzword and more like a must-have. Even for budget buyers.
Also, that design language? It’s not half-baked. The curved panel, the color variants, the impossibly thin build — this isn’t just spec-sheet padding. Vivo clearly wants eyeballs in stores.
There’s a lot riding on this launch. And honestly? It feels like the Y400 Pro has the chops to stand its ground. Whether or not it sells like hotcakes will depend on how well people receive the software experience and if Vivo can deliver on the battery and camera claims.
