Vivo has launched the T5 Pro 5G in India, adding a high-capacity battery device to its T lineup ahead of an April 21 sale date on Flipkart and the Vivo India online store. The handset goes on sale at 12 pm IST in two colorways, Cosmic Black and Glacier Blue, across three storage tiers: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB. The T5 Pro 5G runs on Qualcomm's octa-core Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, positioning it in the upper mid-range segment where processing performance and sustained workloads matter to buyers. The headline specification is a 9,020mAh battery, an unusually large capacity for a consumer smartphone, paired with a 50-megapixel rear camera.

Battery capacity at this scale could differentiate the device in a crowded segment where rivals cluster around the 5,000, 6,000mAh range.
