Vivo T5x Price Hike Hits India: 8GB+256GB Now $368

Vivo and iQOO have raised the prices for their Vivo T5x and iQOO Z11x smartphones in India, marking another shift for buyers in the mid-range segment. This is at least the third price increase for these devices in 2026, driven by rising RAM and storage costs that affect the entire market tier. Shoppers looking to purchase these models now face higher entry points than those who bought them at launch. The Vivo T5x base model has climbed from its initial price to a new starting point, while the top-tier configuration has seen an even steeper jump.

Mid-range Vivo and iQOO phones face higher entry costs

The Vivo T5x runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo processor and features a 120Hz Full HD+ LCD display. It packs a substantial 7,200mAh battery and includes a 50MP main camera with a secondary lens for versatile photography. The device offers two main configurations, starting with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and going up to 8GB of RAM with 256GB of storage. These hardware specifications remain unchanged despite the pricing adjustments.

Vivo T5x Specifications

• Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo
• Battery: 7,200mAh
• Display: 120Hz Full HD+ LCD
• Camera: 50MP main camera with a secondary lens
• Base RAM/Storage: 6GB + 128GB

The base 6GB + 128GB version of the Vivo T5x is now priced at ₹27,999 INR (around $295), up from its previous ₹24,999 launch price. The 8GB + 128GB model has moved to ₹30,999 INR (around $326), reflecting a ₹3,000 increase from the previous ₹27,999. The top 8GB + 256GB model has gone up to ₹34,999 INR (around $368), a significant rise from its earlier pricing. Meanwhile, the iQOO Z11x version of the same 8GB + 256GB config is currently listed at ₹33,999 INR (around $358).

Neither Vivo nor iQOO has put out a detailed explanation for this latest jump, though the increases align with broader component cost trends. The price hikes are effective starting this September 2026, affecting new stock in the Indian market. Buyers comparing these two sibling devices will find the Vivo T5x slightly more expensive at the top end than the iQOO Z11x for the same storage configuration. This update closes the loop on the latest pricing adjustments for these specific mid-range handsets.
