Vivo recently hiked the prices of five Y-series smartphones in India, and the company has now carried out a similar price increase for one of the models in its T-lineup. According to a tipster, the Vivo T5 Pro 5G has become more expensive in the country across all the RAM and storage configurations. While the company has yet to officially communicate the price revision, the tipster claims a few other Vivo models could also see a price hike beginning next week.
Vivo T5 Pro 5G Price Hike
According to tipster Sanju Chaudhary’s X post, Vivo has increased the prices of the T5 Pro 5G by up to Rs. 7,000 in India. The tipster claims that the base variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage now costs Rs. 41,999, which translates into a price revision of Rs. 6,000. Meanwhile, the 8GB + 256GB RAM and storage configuration is said to have received a Rs. 7,000 price hike, taking its price to Rs. 46,999.
But perhaps the most drastic increase has been made to the top-end 12GB + 256GB model, which now costs Rs. 69,999, pushing it past the mid-flagship territory.
For comparison, the handset was launched in India in April at a starting price of Rs. 29,999. Its 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB variants were priced at Rs. 33,999 and Rs. 39,999, respectively.
In recent months, the price of the Vivo T5 Pro 5G was hiked to Rs. 35,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant and Rs. 46,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model. With the latest round of price hikes, the handset has become even more expensive in the country.
While the company has yet to comment publicly on the revisions, the updated prices are now reflected on the Vivo India website. We have reached out to Vivo for a comment on the price revisions and will update this story when we hear back.
