Vivo T5x 5G Set for India Launch on March 17 With 7,200mAh Battery

Vivo T5x 5G India's March 17 Launch Confirmed

The Vivo T5x 5G is set to launch in India on March 17 at 12pm IST, the company said on Tuesday. The model is the successor to the Vivo T4x 5G, which was introduced in March 2025. Vivo states the new handset will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo chipset and will run Android 16-based OriginOS 6.

Official details from Vivo place the T5x 5G as a device designed for longer battery life and improved durability. The company claims the handset will offer the largest battery life in its segment and has confirmed an IP68 plus IP69-rated build for dust and water resistance. The device’s software is listed as OriginOS 6, built on Android 16, aligning with Vivo’s recent software strategy for its India line-up.

Launch is scheduled for March 17 at 12pm IST. After the event, the device is expected to go on sale via Flipkart, the Vivo India online store, and authorized offline retail outlets across India, according to Vivo. This distribution plan mirrors the company’s standard approach for new devices in the country and supports a broad reach across online and physical channels.

The company has highlighted the T5x’s battery as a standout feature. It will pack a 7,200mAh battery, a capacity Vivo describes as the largest in its segment. Vivo says the battery is designed to enable extended usage for streaming, gaming, and browsing without frequent recharges. It is reported that the phone will have the ability to charge at 44 watts, but there has not yet been an official confirmation of how this translates into charge time and how well the phone will "perform" in real life according to the event.

Another thing Vivo has put emphasis on with this phone is durability; this phone has an IP68 and IP69 rated dust and water resistance. Vivo has found a way to align the price of this phone with other smartphones in the sub-23000 range. A teaser footer shared by the brand, indicating that the handset is the “fastest phone under Rs. 23,000 as of March 5, 2026,” has added to the pricing chatter around the launch.

On performance and software, the T5x 5G is confirmed to be powered by the Dimensity 7400 Turbo. The company has previously cited an AnTuTu score of over 1 million points for the device. The handset will run OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, reinforcing Vivo’s emphasis on a distinct software experience in its India portfolio.

More information about the Vivo T5x 5G is expected during the official launch on March 17. At its launch event in India, Vivo will provide press materials plus additional specs, battery metrics, price ranges, and exact availability times for all channels distributing the device.
