Vivo is reportedly planning to launch a new 4G phone in India. The Vivo T5e 4G is tipped to arrive in India today as a new budget 4G smartphone. The interesting bit here is that it’s a 4G smartphone, which is rare to see in this market. But given the ongoing memory crisis, it’s not entirely surprising. Vivo has yet to officially confirm this, but the T5e 4G’s specifications and design have been leaked.
The Vivo T5e 4G is expected to be powered by the Unisoc T7225 SoC, a budget chipset that should be good enough for daily usage like social media, multitasking, casual gaming, and such. The smartphone will reportedly house a 6.74-inch (1600×720 pixels) HD+ display with a notch for the selfie camera. Speaking of which, the Vivo T5e 4G will offer an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera for selfies.
The upcoming Vivo 4G smartphone is said to be backed by a 5,500mAh battery with 15W charging support. This battery capacity should last at least an entire day on light usage. On the software front, the Vivo T5e 4G is tipped to launch with OriginOS 6.0, which is based on Android 16. This is the latest software version, which is good since most 4G budget phones arrive with an older OS. The handset is also expected to come with AI features and decent software support.
More features tipped for the Vivo T5e 4G include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a microSD card slot, and USB 2.0. It could also offer expandable storage support up to 2TB.
Since the Vivo T5e will launch as a budget 4G phone, it could be a good option for those who want an affordable smartphone for daily use. However, those who want 5G connectivity will find it better to look for other options.
