The India launch is set for 6 May, with a 6.31-inch display, 50MP ZEISS periscope camera, 90W wired charging and expected pricing of ₹75,000-₹80,000.
vivo says the phone pairs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip with a 6,500mAh battery, dual IP68/IP69 protection, Wi-Fi 7 and five Android version upgrades.
The device is positioned to counter the idea that smaller phones must compromise on battery, cameras or performance, and is aimed at premium buyers considering Samsung Galaxy S26 or iPhone 17.
With a periscope lens and massive battery, what compromise is vivo hiding in its compact flagship?
How can vivo sell its feature-packed phone for less than rivals while component prices soar globally?
Is vivo's powerful compact phone a risky gamble or the start of a new anti-big-screen trend?
