India’s budget smartphone battlefield just got a surprise boss-level entry. Say hello to the Vivo Y400 Pro 5G — launching with a curved AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 7300, Sony 50MP camera, stereo speakers, and a bonkers-fast 90W charger, all packed into a sleek body that screams premium.
At just ₹24,999, is this the smartest mid-range buy of 2025, or just spec-sheet drama?
Let’s break it down — TechMasala-style.
Price in India: Mid-Range Money, Flagship Flavour
- ₹24,999 – 8GB + 128GB
- ₹26,999 – 8GB + 256GB
- Colors: Freestyle White, Fest Gold, Nebula Purple
- First sale: June 27
- Availability: Flipkart, Amazon, Vivo India & offline stores
Launch offers include:
- 10% bank cashback
- No-cost EMI
- Free TWS earbuds for early buyers
- 6-month screen replacement warranty
👉 This price hits the sweet spot between Realme Narzo 70 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro+, but Vivo is betting hard on looks, charging, and display.
Display: Curved, Bright, and Full of Flex
- 6.77-inch 3D Curved AMOLED
- 120Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits peak brightness, 300Hz touch sampling
- Gorilla Glass 5 protection
- 7.49 mm slim profile, featherlight at 182g
You don’t usually see curved AMOLED at this price — and definitely not with this level of brightness and slimness. While flat panels dominate this range, Vivo brings the flagship vibe down to the ₹25K segment.
👉 That said, curved screens can be a love-it-or-leave-it deal. Accidental touches and glare may bother some — but if design and content pop are your priorities, this is a showstopper.
Performance: Efficient, Reliable, and Smartly Chosen
- MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (4nm)
- Mali-G615 GPU
- UFS 3.1 storage, LPDDR4X RAM
- Android 15 + FuntouchOS 15
- Promised: 3 years OS updates, 4 years security patches
For everyday use, this chip is smooth, power-efficient, and quick. You’ll breeze through social media, calls, docs, camera, and casual gaming without stutter.
Sure, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 might edge ahead in gaming benchmarks, but Vivo’s choice here gives better thermal efficiency and longer battery life — the kind of smart compromise that works for real users.
Camera: Sony Sensor Delivers, But Room for More
- Rear: 50MP Sony IMX882 + 2MP depth
- Front: 32MP selfie shooter
- Both front & back support 4K recording
- AI Photo Enhance, AI Erase 2.0, AI Video Stabilization
The Sony IMX882 is a great mid-range sensor, and at this price, it’s a win. You’ll get vibrant daylight shots, crisp portrait selfies, and reliable 4K video.
👉 But here’s the truth: OIS, ultrawide, or macro lenses would’ve made it a serious camera phone. The setup is good — not great — and it plays it safe where it could’ve taken a leap.
Battery & Charging: Blazing Fast, Genuinely Useful
- 5500mAh battery
- 90W fast charging (0–100% in ~53 minutes)
- Bypass charging for gaming sessions
No gimmicks here — this phone charges faster than most ₹35K flagships. And the battery easily lasts a full day of heavy use.
In 2025, 90W charging at this price isn’t just rare — it’s a market-moving feature. Big win for Vivo.
Features & Finish: Surprisingly Premium
- Stereo speakers with decent depth and volume
- IP65 dust + splash resistance
- In-display fingerprint sensor
- Circle to Search, AI Note Assist, AI Superlink, Translate, and more
Vivo isn’t just selling specs here — they’ve packed in actual features users want. AI tools are genuinely useful, and IP rating is rare at this price.
Vivo Y400 Pro 5G vs The Rivals
| Phone | Display | Processor | Charging | Camera | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vivo Y400 Pro 5G | Curved AMOLED | Dimensity 7300 | 90W | 50MP Sony + 32MP | ₹24,999 |
| Realme Narzo 70 Pro | Flat AMOLED | Dimensity 7050 | 67W | 50MP Sony IMX890 | ₹19,999 |
| Infinix GT 20 Pro | Flat AMOLED | Dimensity 8200 | 45W | 108MP Samsung HM6 | ₹22,999 |
| Redmi Note 13 Pro+ | Curved AMOLED | Dimensity 7200 Ultra | 120W | 200MP Samsung + OIS | ₹31,999 |
Compared to these, Vivo Y400 Pro hits the best balance of style, speed, and features — especially if you want a curved screen and fast charging without going over budget.
Final Verdict: Stylish. Smart. Not Perfect, But Close.
The Vivo Y400 Pro 5G doesn’t tick every box — but the ones it does? It ticks in style.
✅ The curved AMOLED, Sony camera, stereo speakers, Dimensity 7300, and that blazing 90W charging make it a truly compelling mid-range all-rounder.
❌ It lacks OIS, ultrawide lens, and wireless charging — but then again, so do most ₹30K phones.
🎯 If you’re someone who values premium looks, solid daily performance, long battery, and real-world features like stereo sound + AI tools, the Y400 Pro is your jam.
