IIE DIGITAL DESK : The Vivo Y51 Pro 5G, has officially launched in India, bringing a mix of strong battery endurance, capable performance and 5G connectivity to the competitive mid‑range smartphone segment. The announcement comes as the company seeks to offer consumers an affordable yet feature‑rich alternative in the under‑₹30,000 category, with several highlights aimed at multimedia use, long‑lasting battery life, and reliable daily performance.
The new Vivo Y51 Pro 5G features a 6.75‑inch LCD display with an up to 120 Hz refresh rate, designed for smooth scrolling and responsive visuals on everyday tasks, videos and gaming. The screen supports decent colour coverage for the price, while the phone carries dust and water resistance with IP68 and IP69 ratings rarely seen at this tier.
The handset is powered by a 4 nm‑based MediaTek Dimensity 7360‑Turbo 5G chipset, paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage — specifications that should handle multitasking, apps and connectivity smoothly for most users. The device also runs OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, bringing a modern software experience with user‑friendly features.
Photography capabilities include a dual rear camera setup, headlined by a 50 MP main camera with support for up to 4K video recording, and a secondary 2 MP sensor for depth effects. On the front, an 8 MP selfie camera handles selfies and video calls. The camera system is paired with dual stereo speakers for improved media playback.
One of the standout aspects of the Vivo Y51 Pro 5G is its 7,200 mAh battery, which offers exceptionally long usage times and supports 44 W fast charging to top up quickly when needed. Connectivity features include 5G, 4G LTE, dual‑band Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth 5.4 and GPS support with multiple satellite systems, while security is handled through a side‑mounted fingerprint sensor.
The base 8 GB + 128 GB version of the Vivo Y51 Pro 5G starts at around ₹24,999, while the 8 GB + 256 GB configuration is priced at approximately ₹27,999 in India. Early buyers may also be eligible for promotional cashback offers on select platforms. The handset is available in colour options such as Festive Red and Noble Gold and is selling via the Vivo India online store as well as Flipkart.
The Vivo Y51 Pro 5G aims to strike a balance between battery capacity, modern connectivity and everyday performance, targeting consumers who want all‑day endurance and capable cameras without stretching into flagship price ranges.
