Vivo is gearing up to launch its latest smartphone—the Vivo Y400 5G—in India this August 2025, shortly after the introduction of the Vivo Y400 Pro 5G in June. The upcoming device is expected to be a more affordable variant of the Pro model, targeting consumers looking for 5G capabilities at a lower price point.
Although the company has not officially confirmed the launch date, leaks and reports suggest that the smartphone will debut within the first half of August. Market anticipation is growing, especially among budget and mid-range smartphone buyers.
Industry sources suggest that the Vivo Y400 5G will be priced under ₹20,000, making it significantly cheaper than the Y400 Pro 5G, which starts at ₹24,999. The Y400 Pro’s top-tier variant with 256GB storage is priced at ₹26,999, further widening the price gap between the two models.
With this pricing strategy, Vivo is clearly aiming to strengthen its position in the affordable 5G smartphone segment. The Vivo Y400 5G is expected to launch in two attractive color options—Olive Green and Glam White. This is in contrast to the broader and flashier color range of the Y400 Pro, which includes Freestyle White, Fest Gold, and Nebula Purple.
The upcoming Y400 5G is rumored to sport an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smoother scrolling and gaming experiences. The design is likely to include a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera, a design choice becoming standard in mid-range and premium phones.
Although detailed display specifications are not yet confirmed, this setup would make the Y400 5G a competitive option in its price bracket, especially for users who value high refresh rates and AMOLED screen quality.
The Y400 5G will be a scaled-down version of the Y400 Pro 5G. The Pro model features a 6.77-inch full-HD+ 3D curved AMOLED display, also with a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, along with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.
The camera setup on the Pro model includes a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 32MP front-facing camera. It also supports AI-enhanced photography tools like AI Photo Enhance and AI Erase 2.0, enhancing the user’s imaging experience.
In terms of battery life, the Y400 Pro 5G is packed with a 5,500mAh battery and supports 90W fast charging, ensuring quick top-ups and all-day usage.
While the Y400 5G may not match these high-end specs completely, it is still expected to offer competitive performance and key features at a lower price point.
The Vivo Y400 5G is shaping up to be a well-balanced smartphone, offering 5G connectivity, a 120Hz AMOLED display, and modern design features—all at a sub-₹20,000 price. It will likely appeal to a broad user base, including first-time smartphone buyers, students, and budget-conscious users seeking a dependable daily-use device.
As the Indian smartphone market becomes more competitive, especially in the budget 5G space, the Y400 5G will be up against offerings from Realme, Redmi, Samsung, and Motorola. Its success will depend on how well Vivo can deliver value in terms of performance, display quality, camera capabilities, and battery life.
With the Vivo Y400 5G, the brand is clearly doubling down on making 5G smartphones more accessible to Indian consumers. As more details emerge in the coming weeks, the Y400 5G is expected to strengthen Vivo’s position in the mid-range smartphone market.
